1. ## lim inf/sup innequality question...

x_n and y_n are bounded

$\limsup x_n + \limsup y_n \geq \lim x_{r_n} + \lim y_{r_n}$

this is true because there presented sub sequences converge to the upper bound of x_n and y_n .
the sum of limits is the limit of sums so we get one limit
and the of two convergent sequence is one convergent sequence
$\lim (x_{r_n} + y_{r_n}) = \limsup (x_n+y_n)$

this is true because the sequence is constructed from a convergent to the sup sub sequences
so they equal the lim sup of $x_n+y_n$

now i need to prove that $\limsup (x_n+y_n) \Rightarrow \liminf x_n + \limsup y_n$

i tried: $
\limsup (x_n+y_n) = \limsup x_n + \limsup y_n \Rightarrow \liminf x_n + \limsup y_n
$

lim sup i always bigger then lim inf

so its true

did i solved it correctly?

I'm not sure what you want to prove.
Is $r_n$ a particular subsequence?
And why do we know that there is a limit to $x_{r_n}$

3. x_r_n is a convergent subsequence of x_n

y_r_n is a convergent subsequence of y_n

r_n is just a sign to demonstrate that its a subsequence

by weirshrass laws to any bounded sequence there is a convergent subsequence

my proof is ok?

I'm still having trouble figuring out what you want to prove.
Also I don't think that
$\limsup (x_n+y_n) = \limsup x_n + \limsup y_n$.
What if $x_n=0,1,0,1,0,1,...$
and $y_n=1,0,1,0,1,0,...$, then
$x_n+y_n=1,1,1,1,1,1,...$, which has a limit and limit soupy of 1.
But the $\limsup x_n + \limsup y_n=1+1=2$.

If you just want to prove
$\limsup x_n + \limsup y_n \geq \lim x_{r_n} + \lim y_{r_n}$
well $\limsup x_n \geq \lim x_{r_n}$
and $\limsup y_n \geq \lim y_{r_n}$.
Now just add, but I'm still lost as to what you want.

5. $

\lim (x_{r_n} + y_{r_n}) = \limsup (x_n+y_n)
$

why its correct
what do i need to say so it will be valid
??

Let $w_n=x_n+y_n$.
Now I still need to understand this sequence $r_n$.
Is $r_n$ the sequence so that
$\limsup w_n=\lim w_{r_n}$?

7. r_n is not a sequence its just a way for me so sign a subsequence .

x_n is a bounded sequence with index n
and i want a subsequence to x_n
so i call it $x_{r_n}$ where n is the index again

its just a way to sign a subsequence

is it ok now?

8. can you show an example like this

there is such things on the internet
