i am given a siquence An [sequence?]

how to prove this EQUATION

lim sup(1/An)= 1/(lim inf An)

Let m = lim inf An. Then

1. m is a cluster point (aka limit point, aka accumulation point, etc.) of An.

That means given epsilon(e), and given any N, there exists k > N such that Ak < m + e.

2. m is the lowest such point. If m2 < m, then there exists M such that all Ak after A[M] are > m2 + e.
..............
REVERSE: lim sup(..) is the largest cluster point.
..............

Now if m,m1,m2,.. are the cluster points of An, then what are the cluster points of 1/An?

They should be 1/m, 1/m1, etc.

let's hope that none of them is zero. Then 1/m is the largest of them. And 1/m is then lim sup(1/An)
