In mathematics , a subsequential limit of a sequence is the limit of some subsequence . Every subsequential limit is a cluster point , but not conversely. In first countable spaces, the two concepts coincide. The supremum of the set of all subsequential limits of some sequence is called the limit superior, or limsup. Similarly, the infimum of such a set is called the limit inferior, or liminf. See limit superior and limit inferior . It can be shown that if X,d is a metric space and there is a Cauchy sequence such that there is a subsequence converging to some x, then the sequence also converges to x.

File Limit cycle Poincare map.svg thumb 250px right Attracting limit cycle and its Poincar map In mathematics , in the area of dynamical systems , a limit cycle on a plane or a two dimensional manifold the original definition is not valid in 3D, since the periodic orbit could be neutrally stable and non isolated along the 3d direction is a closed trajectory in phase space having the property that at least one other trajectory spirals into it either as time approaches infinity or as time approaches negative infinity. Such behavior is exhibited in some nonlinear systems . In the case where all the neighbouring trajectories approach the limit cycle as time approaches infinity, it is called a stable manifold stable or attractive limit cycle limit cycle . If instead all neighbouring trajectories approach it as time approaches negative infinity, it is an unstable or non attractive limit cycle limit cycle . Stable limit cycles imply self sustained oscillations . Any small perturbation from the closed trajectory would cause the system to return to the limit cycle, making the system stick to the limit cycle.

In the scaling limit, random walk approaches the Wiener process according to Donsker s theorem . In physics or mathematics , the scaling limit is a term applied to the behaviour of a lattice model physics lattice model in the limit of the lattice spacing going to zero. A lattice model which approximates a Continuum theory continuum quantum field theory in the limit as the lattice spacing goes to zero corresponds to finding a second order phase transition of the model. This is the scaling limit of the model. It is often useful to use lattice models to approximate real world processes, such as Brownian motion .

Orphan date November 2011 In mathematics approximate limits are a generalization of the ordinary limit of a function limit for real valued functions of several real variables. A function f on math mathbb R k math has an approximate limit y at a point x if there exists a set F that has Lebesgue density theorem density one at the point such that if x sub n sub is a sequence in F that converges towards x then f x sub n sub converges towards y . Properties The approximate limit of a function, if it exists, is unique. If f has an ordinary limit at x then it also has an approximate limit with the same value. We denote the approximate limit of f at x sub 0 sub by math lim limits x rightarrow x 0 operatorname ap f x 0 . math Many of the properties of the ordinary limit are also true for the approximate limit.
