Subsequences

A subsequence of a sequence (an)a_n) is the sequence (a_{σ(k)}) obtained by composing with a strictly increasing sequence σ of natural numbers.

Statement

In the setting of The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion, let (an)(a_{n}) be a sequence in a set XX, that is a map a:N→Xa:\mathbb{N}\to X, and let N\mathbb{N} carry its order ≤\le of The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion §order, a total order with strict relation << by Arithmetic and Order of the Natural Numbers §partial-order and Arithmetic and Order of the Natural Numbers §trichotomy.

A subsequence of (an)(a_{n}) is a sequence a∘σ=(aσ(k))k∈Na\circ\sigma=(a_{\sigma(k)})_{k\in\mathbb{N}}, where σ:N→N\sigma:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N} is a strictly increasing sequence in N\mathbb{N}.
