Uniqueness of the Limit of a Real Function at a Point of an Interval
lemmaAnalysislem:limit-function-unique-2026aPunctured neighbourhoods of a point of an interval containing at least two points are nonempty, and consequently at most one real number satisfies the defining condition of the limit, so the limit notation is well defined.
In the setting of The Real Line: Standing Notation and Background for Calculus, let be an interval containing at least two points, let , let , and let .
Then the following hold.
1. (Punctured neighbourhoods are nonempty) ¶ For every the set is nonempty.
2. (Uniqueness) ¶ Suppose that and each have the property required of the limit in Limit of a Real Function at a Point of an Interval §limit, that is, for every there exists such that every with satisfies , and likewise for . Then .
In particular the limit of Limit of a Real Function at a Point of an Interval is well defined.
