1. ## Limit points-Topology

Take Real Set, R, in the cofinite topology.

• Show that every sequence, whereno element repeats more than fini tely times, converges to every point in the real set.

• Find a sequence, which has a range that is infinite, which converges only to 0.
• Find a sequence, with infinite range, which does not have a limit.

(1) Show that every sequence, whereno element repeats more than fini tely times, converges to every point in the real set.

(2) Find a sequence, which has a range that is infinite, which converges only to 0.

Let $\{x_{n}\} n=1,2, .., \infty$ be a sequence in R

For (1), every open set containing a point in $\{x_{n}\}$ should contain all but finite elements of $\{x_{n}\}$, since an open set in a cofinite topology is defined as X\O is finite, where X is a set with a topological space T and O is an open set in a cofinite topology.
For an arbitrary open set O containing a point $\{x_{n}\}$ should contain all memebers of $x_{n}$ for n>=N where N is a positive integer in a cofinite topology. That means, every sequence with distinct points (including elements repeated finite times) converges to every point in the real set in a cofinite topology.

For (2), {1,1/2,1/3,...,1/n}, n=1,2,.., $\infty$.
For (3), {1,2,3,....,n}, n=1,2,..., $\infty$.

3. Thanks! However, For (2), the range of the sequence is finite so that is not a good example

What is the problem with #2?
The range of that sequence is $\{ \tfrac{1}{n} | n\geq 1\}$.
This is an infinite set.
