Sequences as Continuous Functions: A Novel Proof That Closed Sets Contain Their Limits

Beyond Sequence

This essay will use the results in my previous blogs : "Beyond Sequences: A Topological Approach to Density Arguments" and "Proving Homeomorphism with Yoneda Lemma: The Unification of epsilon-delta and epsilon-N Formulation". to give an approach for the really basic fact:

Proposition.

Let F⊆X be a closed set, (xn)n∈N be a convergence sequence in X with ∀n,∈N,xn∈F. then we have x0=limn→∞xn∈F.

Proof. Notice a convergence sequence is just a continuous function from N∗:={0}∪{1/n:n∈N} with f(1/n)=xn,f(0)=x0.

Then we have f−1(F) is closed as well and {1/n:n∈N}⊆f−1(F). Hence the closure of {1/n:n∈N}=N∗⊆f−1(F)◻
