Filters and Ultrafilters in Real Analysis 2012
Max Garcia Mathematics Department California Polytechnic State University
Abstract
We study free filters and their maximal extensions on the set of natural numbers.
We characterize the limit of a sequence of real numbers in terms of the Fr´echet filter, which involves only one quantifier as opposed to the three non-commuting quantifiers in the usual definition.
We construct the field of real non-standard numbers and study their properties.
We characterize the limit of a sequence of real numbers in terms of non-standard numbers which only requires a single quantifier as well.
We are trying to make the point that the involvement of filters and/or non-standard numbers leads to a reduction in the number of quantifiers and hence, simplification, compared to the more traditional ε, δ-definition of limits in real analysis.
