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 FX be a closed set, (xn)nN be a convergence sequence in X with n,N,xnF. then we have x0=limnxnF.

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

Then we have f1(F) is closed as well and {1/n:nN}f1(F). Hence the closure of {1/n:nN}=Nf1(F)
