The Limit of a Convergent Sequence in a Metric Space

Defines the limit of a convergent sequence in a metric space as the unique point to which it converges.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, and let (xm)m∈N(x_{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be a convergent sequence in (X,d)(X,d).

The limit of (xm)(x_{m}), written lim⁡m→∞xm\lim_{m\to\infty}x_{m}, is the point of XX to which (xm)(x_{m}) converges; it exists by Convergent Sequence in a Metric Space §convergent and is unique by Uniqueness of Limits in a Metric Space §unique.

(xm)(x_{m}) converges to lim⁡m→∞xm\lim_{m\to\infty}x_{m} in (X,d)(X,d).
