Google translation to English:
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 of elements in A
which converges to 'a'.
The fact that b = inf(B) means that there is an infinite sequence of elements in B
which converges to 'b'.
Then the sequence 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
with elements in A and in B, which converges to z.
Notice that all are not less than 'a', and all are not less than 'b',
due to the definitions of 'a' and 'b'.
It means that
z = inf(A+B) = ( lim as i --> ) >= a + b = inf(A) + inf(B). (2).
Inequalities (1) and (2), taken together, prove that
inf(A+B) = inf(A) + inf(B).
QED.
Solved, proved and completed.
