Limit points of "harmonic" numbers

Calculus Level 4

Consider the standard topology on R \Bbb R generated by the open intervals.

Consider the class of sets { A n } n 0 \{A_n\}_{n\geq 0} where A n R A_n\subseteq\Bbb R is defined by, A n = { k = 1 n 1 p k p k N 1 k n } n 1 A_n=\left\{\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{p_k}\mid p_k\in\Bbb N~\forall~1\leq k\leq n\right\}~\forall~n\geq 1 and A 0 = { 0 } A_0=\{0\}

Which one of the following options is correct?

1) ( A n ) = i = 0 n 1 A i (A_n)^\prime=\bigcap_{i=0}^{n-1} A_i

2) ( A n ) = ( i odd A i ) ( i even A i ) (A_n)^\prime=\left(\bigcup_{i\textrm{ odd}}A_i\right)\cap\left(\bigcup_{i\textrm{ even}}A_i\right)

3) ( A n ) = i = 0 n 1 A i (A_n)^\prime=\bigcup_{i=0}^{n-1} A_i

4) ( A n ) = ( i odd A i ) ( i even A i ) (A_n)^\prime=\left(\bigcap_{i\textrm{ odd}}A_i\right)\cup\left(\bigcap_{i\textrm{ even}}A_i\right)


Details and Assumptions:

  • For a subset X X of a topological space, X X^\prime denotes the derived set (set of all limit points) of X X .

  • \cup and \cap denote set union and intersection respectively.

  • N \Bbb N and R \Bbb R denotes the set of natural numbers and real number, respectively.
