Questions and Answers

What is the definition of supremum of a set?

The supremum of a set $S$ is the smallest real number that is greater than or equal to all the elements of $S$.

What is the definition of a closed set in real analysis?

A set whose limit points are all contained within the set.

What is the definition of uniform continuity of a function?

A function $f(x)$ is uniformly continuous on a set $S$ if for every $ ext{epsilon} > 0$, there exists a $ ext{delta} > 0$ such that for all $x, y ext{ in } S$, $|x - y| < ext{delta}$ implies $|f(x) - f(y)| < ext{epsilon}$.

Study Notes

Real Analysis Definitions

The supremum of a set is the least upper bound of the set, i.e., the smallest real number that is greater than or equal to every element in the set.

Set Properties

A closed set in real analysis is a set that contains all its limit points.

Function Properties

A function is uniformly continuous if for every positive real number ε, there exists a positive real number δ such that for all x and y in the domain, |x - y| < δ implies |f(x) - f(y)| < ε.

Series Convergence

The comparison test is used to determine the convergence of an infinite series by comparing it with another series.
The ratio test is used to determine the convergence of a positive-termed series by comparing the ratio of consecutive terms with a fixed number.

Calculus Theorems

Rolle's theorem guarantees the existence of at least one c in the open interval (a, b) such that f'(c) = 0.

Properties of Real Numbers

The property that characterizes a complete ordered field in the representation of real numbers as points on the line is that every non-empty set of real numbers that is bounded above has a least upper bound.
