TauCeti.Analysis.Normed.Group.NullSequence

Assembling null sequences from countably many finite sets #

In a seminormed group, countably many finite sets whose norms are bounded by a sequence tending to 0, together with one further finite set, can all be listed in the range of a single sequence tending to 0. This is how null sequences are built from finite nets at shrinking scales, as in Grothendieck's compactness lemma.

Countably many finite sets, the k-th inside the closed ball of radius r k → 0 about the origin, together with one further finite set, lie in the range of a single sequence tending to 0.
