Let $S$ be an ordered set. Let $A \subset S$ be a non-empty finite subset. Then A is bounded. Furthermore,
|
||||||
|
$\text{inf} A$ exists and in in $A$ and $\text{sup} A$ exists and is in $A$.
|
||||||
|
\end{tcolorbox}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to prove that $A$ is bounded, we have to prove that it has an upper and a lower bound. Let us prove
|
||||||
|
that $A$ is bounded above first.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In particular, we have to prove that $\exists a \in A$ such that $x \leq b$ for all $x \in E$.
|
||||||
|
Since $A$ is non-empty and finite, we can use induction on the cardinality of $A$, since that will always
|
||||||
|
be some natural number $n$. So, we have to prove two cases: the base case, where $|A|=1$, and the inductive step,
|
||||||
|
where we will assume that when $A$ has an upper bound when it has cardinality $m$,
|
||||||
|
then it also has an upper bound when its carindality is equal to $m+1$.
