1.3 THE COMPLETENESS AXIOM


1.10 DEFINITION: SUPREMUM.
Let E R. 1. The set E is said to be bounded above there is an M R s.t. aM for all a E in which case M is the upper bound of E. 2. A number s is called a supremum of the set E s is upperbound of E and s M for all upper bounds M of E. In this case we shall say that E has a finite supremum s and write s=sup E. Note: By Definition 1.10 a supremum is the smallest upper bound of a E when it exists. To show proof that s=sup E, show that s is an upper bound and s is the smallest upper bound. 1.11 EXAMPLE. If E=[0,1] sup E=1. By definition of an interval, 1 is an upper bound of E. Let M be any upper bound of E; that is Mx . Since 1 E, it follows that M 1. Thus 1 is the smallest upper bound of E. 1.12 REMARK. If a set has one upper bound, it has infinitely many upper bounds.

Proof: If M0 is an upper bound for a set E, then so is M for any M> M0. 1.13 REMARK. IF a set has a supemum, then it only has one supremum.

Proof: Let s1 and s2 be suprema of the same set E. Then both s1 and s2 are upper bounds of E, whence by Def 1.10.ii, s1 s2 and s1 s2 . We conclude by Trichotomy Property that s1 = s2. Notwithstanding that there is only one supremum in a set.

1.14 THEOREM. [APPROXIMATION PROPERTY FOR SUPREMA.


If E has finite supremum and that sup E- <asup E. is any positive number, then there is a point a such

Proof: Suppose TH. 1.14 is false, then there is an 0>0 s.t. no element of E lies between s0:=sup E- 0 and sup E. Since sup E is an upper bound for E, it follows that a s0 ; that is s0 is a upper bound of E. Thus by Def 1.10ii. sup E s0 =sup E- 0. Adding 0sup E to both sides of the inequality we conclude that 00 is a contradiction. Note: The Approximation Property can be used to show that the supremum of any subset of intergers is itself an interger.

1.15 THEOREM.
IF EZ has a supremum, then sup E . In particular if the supremum of a set, which contains only intergers exists that supremum must be an interger. Proof: Suppose that s:=sup E and apply the Approximation Property to choose an x0 such that s-1<x0s. If s=x0, then s , as promised. Otherwise s-1 < x0s again to choose x1 s.t x0<x1<s.

Subtract x0 from his last inequality to obtain 0<x1- x0<s- x0. Since - x0<1-s, it follows that 0<x1x0<s+(1-s)=1. Thus x1-x0 a contraditicion by Rem. 1.1.iii. We conclude that s .

POSTULATE 3. [COMPLETENESS AXIOM].


If E is a nonempty subset of R that is bounded avoe, then E has a finite supremum.

1.16 THEOREM [ARCHIMEDIAN PRINCIPLE].


Given real numbers a, b, a>0, there is an interger n Proof: If b<a, set n=1. If ab, consider the set E={k . E is nonempty since . Let k (i.e. ka<=b). Since a>0, it follows from the First Multiplicative Property that k . This proves that E is bounded above by b/a. Thus by the Completeness Axiom and Theorem 1.15, E has a finite supremum s that belongs to E, in particular, s . Set n=s+1. Then n and sincle n is larger than s, n cannot belong to E. Thus na>b.

1.18 THEOREM [DENSITY OF RATIONALS].


If a,b , there is a q s.t.a<q<b.

1.19 DEFINITION: INFIMUM.


Let Let E R. 1. The set E is said to be bounded below ther is an m such that am , in which case m is called a lower bound of theset E. 2. A number t is called an infimum of the set E t is a lower boundof E and tm for all lower bounds m of E. In this casw we shall say that E has an infimum t and write t=infE. 3. E is said to be bounded if it is bounded both above and below. NOTE: SUPREMUM-INFIMUM RELATION, the reflection a set: -E:={x:x=-a for some a , i.e. (1,2]=[-2,-1) So a supremum of a set is the same as the negative of its reflections infimum.

1.20 THEOREM. [REFLECTION PRINCIPLE].


Let E be a nonempty set. E has a suprememum -E has an infimum, in which case: inf(-E)=-sup(E) E has an infimum -E has a supremum , in which case: sup(-E)=-inf(E).

1.21 THEOREM. [MONTONE PROPERTY].


Suppose that A are nonempty sets of the R. 1. If B has a supremum, then sup A sup B. 2. If B has an infimum, then inf B inf A.

1.3 EXERCISES

Let x=sup(A ) let m=sup A then by definition x is the least upperbound of and m is the least upper bound of A. Since there a supremum is unique for a given set, then m is the only least

It follows that sup (A )sup A. b. Let c be a positive real number. If A is a nonempty bounded subset of R and B={cx: x i. Let c be a positive real number. If A is a nonempty bounded subset of R and B={cx: x , then A B and sup (A) belongs to B. The operation cx is closed under multiplication. Since c is positive sup(B)=c*sup(A) c. If A+B:=(a+b: a . and b where A and B are nonempty bounded subsets of R, then sup(A+B)=sup(A)+sup(B). i. d. If A-B=:=(a-b: a . and b where A and B are nonempty bounded subsets of R, then sup(A-B)=sup(A)-sup(B). i. Does a homomorphism exist between supremums under the operation of additionNO, now if it were the case that A={c+B or c-B where c , then yes, but this is saying that adding points together means that those points will belong to that set and that is not necessarily true. Therefore c and d are false. Find the infimum and supremum of each of the following sets. a. E={x R: x2+2x=3}, then x={1,-3} and sup(E)=1, inf(E)=-3 b. E={x R: x2-2x+3>x2 and x>0}, then x={-1,3} and sup (E)=3, inf(E)=-1 Prove that for each a R and each n there exists a rational rn such that |a-rn|<1/n. a. The inequality|a-rn|<1/n is equivalent to a-1/n <rn<a+1/n. For each n 1 we can find a rational rn with this property by Theorem 1.18. [Density of the Irrationals]. Prove that if a<b are real numbers, then there is an irrational such that a < <b. *Refer to analysis intro file a. Let (a,b), and let a < <b. Now b-a>0. By the Archimedean property, a positive interger n s.t. n(b-a)>1 or 1/n<b-a. an integer m, s.t. m<na<b+1 or m/n a (m+1)/n <y. Prove that a lower bound of a set need not be unique but the infimum of a given set E is unique. a. If m is a lower bound for a set E, then any m0 with m0 < m is also a lower bound. If E has two infima s1 and s1, then we have s1 s2 and s2 s1, hence s1 = s2. Show that if E is a nonempty bounded subset of Z, then inf E exists and belongs to E. a. Since E is a nonempty bounded subset of Z, then by definition an am s.t. m is the lower bound of E. Since m exists, there is a greatest upper bound of E t. Use the Reflection Principle and analogous results about supremum to prove the following results. a. [Approximation Property for Infima].

Make and prove an analogous statemtn for the infimum of E. c. Show by example that the converse of each of theses statements is false. Suppose that E, A, B R and E=A . Prove that if E has a supremum and both A and B are nonempty, then sup A and sup B both exists and sup E is one of the numbers sup A or sup B. A dyadic rational is a number of the form k/2n for some k,n Z. Prove that if a and b are real numbers and a<b, then there exists a dyadic rational q such that a<q<b.
