arclength as filtered limit


The length (http://planetmath.org/Rectifiable) of a rectifiable curve may be phrased as a filtered limit.To do this, we will define a filter of partitions of an intervalMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath[a,b]. Let 𝐏 be the set of all ordered tuplets of distinctelements of [a,b] whose entries are increasing:

𝐏={(t1,tn)(at1<t2<<tnb)(n)(n>0)}

We shall refer to elements of 𝐏 as partitions of the interval[a,b]. We shall say that (t1,,tn) is a refinementPlanetmathPlanetmath of apartition (s1,,sm) if {t1,,tn}{s1,,sm}. Let 𝐅𝒫(𝐏) be theset of all subsets of 𝐏 such that, if a certain partitionbelongs to 𝐅 then so do all refinements of that partition.

Let us see that 𝐅 is a filter basis. Suppose that A and Bare elements of 𝐅. If a partition belongs to both A and Bthen every one of its refinements will also belong to both A andB, hence AB𝐅.

Next, note that, if a partition of B is a refinement of a partitionof A then, by the triangle inequalityMathworldMathworldPlanetmath, the length of Π(B) isgreater than the length of Π(A). By definition, for everyϵ>0, we can pick a partition A such that the length ofΠ(A) differs from the length of the curve by at most ϵ.Since the length of Π(B) for any partition B refining A liesbetween the length of Π(A) and the length of the curve, we seethat the length of Π(B) will also differ by at most ϵ, sothe length of the curve is the limit of the length of polygonal linesaccording to the filter generated by 𝐅.
