limit points of sequences
In a topological space , a point is a limit point
of the sequence if, for every open set containing , there are finitely many indices such that the corresponding elements of the sequence do not belong to the open set.
A point is an accumulation point of the sequence if, for every open set containing , there are infinitely many indices such that the corresponding elements of the sequence belong to the open set.
It is worth noting that the set of limit points of a sequence can differ from the set of limit points of the set of elements of the sequence. Likewise the set of accumulation points of a sequence can differ from the set of accumulation points of the set of elements of the sequence.
