Sequence $a_n$ such that $inf a_n < lim inf a_n < lim sup a_n < sup a_n$












1














I'm searching for a sequence with the following property:



$$inf a_n < lim inf a_n < lim sup a_n < sup a_n$$



I am looking for just one example, but I am not sure how to find one.

  • Just take the first two terms so that they are inf and sup, for the remaining ones you take a simple alternating sequence squeezed between them.

Here is an easy example :
begin{equation}begin{aligned} a_1 &:= 1 \ a_2 &:= 4 \ a_{2n+1} &:= 2,~~~~~text{for all $n geq 1$} \ a_{2n} &:= 3,~~~~~text{for all $n geq 1$}end{aligned}end{equation}



You can easily verify that
begin{equation}begin{aligned} inf a_n &= 1 \ liminf a_n &=2 \ limsup a_n &= 3 \ sup a_n &=4.end{aligned}end{equation}

Musa

Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
