A maximum (or minimum) point at which every maximising (minimising) sequence converges to the point itself, the substitute for a strict extremum when bounded closed sets need not be compact.
In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let be a metric space, let , let , and let . A sequence in is said to converge when it converges in .
1. (Sequentially strict maximum) The function attains a sequentially strict maximum on at if
and every sequence in for which the sequence of real numbers converges to converges to .
2. (Sequentially strict minimum) The function attains a sequentially strict minimum on at if
and every sequence in for which the sequence of real numbers converges to converges to .
