Find inf{(m/n) ∣ m, n ∈ N, m<n−2}

Findinf{mnm,nN,m<n2}

Answered by A5T last updated on 05/Jun/24

Since m,n∈N, (m/n)>0,so 0 is a lower bound.  (m/n)≥(1/n) and (1/n) is in the set.  For any ε>0, one can always find n such that  (1/n)−ε<0. Take n>(1/ε) which is possible by the  Archimedean property, hence 0 is the infimum  of the set.
