If A, B are two non-empty sets of R and bounded, prove that
inf (A+B) = inf A + inf B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


            The proof consists of two parts.


            First part of the proof


Let a = inf(A),  b = inf(B).


Since the subsets A and B are bounded in R, the values 'a' and 'b' do exist and are defined properly.


The fact that a = inf(A) means that there is an infinite sequence a%5Bi%5D of elements a%5Bi%5D in A
which converges to 'a'.


The fact that b = inf(B) means that there is an infinite sequence b%5Bi%5D of elements b%5Bi%5D in B
which converges to 'b'.


Then the sequence  a%5Bi%5D%2Bb%5Bi%5D  converges to value  a+b.

This simple elementary statement is easy to prove.


It implies that 

     inf(A+B) <= a+b.    (1)



            Second part of the proof


Again, let  a = inf(A),  b = inf(B).


Since the subsets A and B are bounded in R, the values 'a' and 'b' do exist and are defined properly.


Since the subsets A and B are bounded in R, the set of all real numbers of the form {x+y), 
where x is from A and y is from B, is bounded,  too.


Hence, the set of all sums (x+y) has the infinum.  Let z = inf(A+B).


The fact that z = inf(A+B) means that there is an infinite sequence a%5Bi%5D%2Bb%5Bi%5D 
with elements a%5Bi%5D in A  and  b%5Bi%5D  in B, which converges to z.


Notice that all  a%5Bi%5D  are not less than 'a',  and  all  b%5Bi%5D  are not less than 'b', 
due to the definitions of 'a' and 'b'.


It means that

     z = inf(A+B) = ( lim %28a%5Bi%5D%2Bb%5Bi%5D%29 as i --> infinity ) >= a + b = inf(A) + inf(B).    (2).


Inequalities (1) and (2), taken together,  prove that

    inf(A+B) = inf(A) + inf(B).
