Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: New lemma recording that a strictly increasing sequence of natural numbers is order preserving, that the composite of two strictly increasing index sequences is strictly increasing, and hence that a subsequence of a subsequence is a subsequence. The corpus stated only the consecutive-index condition of def:subsequence-2026a and the domination k <= n_k of lem:subsequence-index-growth-2026a, so iterated extraction had no justification.

Statement

Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers with the order << of that definition, let XX be a set, let (xm)mN(x_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in XX, and let (nk)kN(n_k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}} and (kj)jN(k_j)_{j\in\mathbb{N}} be sequences in N\mathbb{N} that are strictly increasing. Then the following hold.

1. (Order preservation) For all a,bNa,b\in\mathbb{N} with a<ba<b one has na<nbn_a<n_b.

2. (Composite index sequence) The sequence (nkj)jN(n_{k_j})_{j\in\mathbb{N}} in N\mathbb{N} is strictly increasing.

3. (Composite subsequence) The sequence (xnkj)jN(x_{n_{k_j}})_{j\in\mathbb{N}} is a subsequence of (xm)mN(x_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}}, and it is the subsequence of (xnk)kN(x_{n_k})_{k\in\mathbb{N}} determined by the strictly increasing sequence (kj)jN(k_j)_{j\in\mathbb{N}}.
