The Monotone Convergence Criterion
The monotone sequence is one important aspect of sequences .
A monotone sequence is any sequence sn that is either increasing,decreasing or constant. Any sequence can be verified if it is monotonic using the formula, Monotone formula=sn+1sn.

Now A sequence sn of R is called the following:
(i) Monotone non-decreasing(Increasing) if sn+1sn, for all nN.
(ii) Strictly Monotone Increasing: if sn+1>sn for all nN.
(iii) Monotone non-decreasing(decreasing) if sn+1sn for all nN.
(iv) strictly Monotone Decreasing if sn+1<sn for all nN.
Fundamental Theorem of Monotone Sequence
(i) A monotone increasing sequence of real number which is bounded above converges.
(ii) A monotone decreasing sequence of real number which is bounded below converges.
(iii) Any sequence that is bounded and is monotonic is convergent.
from all this we can observe that the monotonic sequences are easier to deal with than the sequences that can go up and down.
In my next topic i will be treating how to carry out evaluation(solutions) of this monotone sequences.
