Bounded Sequences of Real Numbers

A sequence of real numbers is bounded above or below when the set of its terms is, and bounded when the absolute values of its terms have a common bound.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let (an)(a_{n}) be a sequence in R\mathbb{R}.

(an)(a_{n}) is bounded above, respectively bounded below, if the set {an:n∈N}\{a_{n}:n\in\mathbb{N}\} of its terms is bounded above, respectively bounded below, as in Bounds, Least and Greatest Elements, Suprema and Infima for a Partial Order §bounded; and (an)(a_{n}) is bounded if there is M∈RM\in\mathbb{R} with ∣an∣≤M|a_{n}|\le M for every n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}.
