  1. What is a subsequence in calculus? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Sep 24, 2017 · In mathematics, a subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from another sequence by deleting some elements without changing the order of the remaining elements …

  2. The Definition of a subsequence? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Apr 27, 2019 · A "subsequence" is an infinite selection of members from the sequence, where order is important: you have to keep selecting strictly later elements of the sequence.

  3. Definition of Subsequences - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    I understand the definition of subsequence depends on the definition of sequence, however, I would like to have a most general or well-received definition of sequence and subsequences. This questi...

  4. Notation for a subsequence of a sequence - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 14, 2011 · A subsequence of a given sequence is a sequence formed from the given sequence by deleting some of the elements without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining elements.

  5. What constitutes a subsequence - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Sep 10, 2025 · The Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem states that every bounded sequence contains a convergent subsequence. A common construction of a subsequence that I have seen is picking …

  6. Convergent subsequences - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Note that that proposition talks about a convergent sequence, and the behaviour of its subsequences, while $ (b)$ considers any sequence and it's subsequence, and the value it converges to.

  7. Subsubsequence converges - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 8, 2014 · Every subsequence of xn x n has a further subsequence which converges to x x. Then the sequence xn x n converges to x x. (4 answers) Closed 8 years ago.

  8. Is a sequence a subsequence of itself? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 12, 2014 · Depending on your definition of sequence and subsequence, not every sequence has a proper sequence. Let us assume that a sequence means an infinite sequence (that is a function from …

  9. Definition of subsequence - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 6, 2017 · 2 Assuming that b is indeed a subsequence of a, then p is the list of the indices of the members of a, that are in b. This is just the general definition.

  10. The definition of a subsequence - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Dec 11, 2019 · A subset is to a set as a subsequence is to a sequence. The only extra requirement that we impose on a subsequence is that its terms are in the same order as in the original sequence.
