Original question and givens

Use the whole infinite real periodic sequence with nonempty period_values=[25, -26, 27/2], starting at index0 and repeating that full block forever. This is a declared infinite law, not an observed finite prefix. Use residue=0 and subsequence parameter j=25≥0. Give (residue, j, k_j, value, constant_subsequence_certificate, certificate).

  • G001 — Use the whole infinite real periodic sequence with nonempty period_values=[25, -26, 27/2], starting at index0 and repeating that full block forever. This is a declared infinite law, not an observed finite prefix. Use residue=0 and subsequence parameter j=25≥0. Give (residue, j, k_j, value, constant_subsequence_certificate, certificate).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source operation=bw-periodic-subsequence;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[residue, j, k_j, value, constant_subsequence_certificate, certificate]

Conditions: none

Retain the historical interface marker while listing ordered output fields without JavaScript.Fields and tags are not extra mathematical evidence;fixed No markers retain their claim scope.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_interface_explicit_without_javascript · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL period index=0;value=25;absolute value=25

After

prefix absolute maximum after this original entry=25

Conditions: none

Scan absolute values over the full period rather than the maximum signed value.A negative entry may determine the bound;retain original positions and duplicates.

S003 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL period index=1;value=-26;absolute value=26

After

prefix absolute maximum after this original entry=26

Conditions: none

Scan absolute values over the full period rather than the maximum signed value.A negative entry may determine the bound;retain original positions and duplicates.

Rule: bw_every_period_entry_absolute_bound · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL period index=2;value=27/2;absolute value=27/2

After

prefix absolute maximum after this original entry=26

Conditions: none

Scan absolute values over the full period rather than the maximum signed value.A negative entry may determine the bound;retain original positions and duplicates.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: bw_every_period_entry_absolute_bound · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL NONEMPTY full period=[25, -26, 27/2];period length=3

After

for EVERY n>=0,unique n=3q+r with0<=r<3 gives a_n=period_values[r];therefore |a_n|<=26

Conditions: none

Whole-sequence boundedness follows from the declared infinite periodic law and division with remainder,not observed future behavior.This proves the stated model,not the general Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem from finite samples.

S006 · calculation

Before

bw period times ORIGINAL j := mul(3, 25)

After

bw period times ORIGINAL j = 75

Conditions: none

Substitute the original roles and established intermediates exactly,retaining order,signs and quantified conditions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · calculation

Before

bw ORIGINAL residue subsequence evaluated index := sum(0, 75)

After

bw ORIGINAL residue subsequence evaluated index = 75

Conditions: none

Substitute the original roles and established intermediates exactly,retaining order,signs and quantified conditions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL residue=0,period=3;k(j)=0+3j for EVERY j>=0;displayed j=25,k_j=75

After

for ALL j,k(j+1)-k(j)=3>0;remainder always0;a_k(j)=25;for EVERY epsilon>0 error0<epsilon

Conditions: none

Each index advances by a positive full period,so this is an infinite strictly increasing subsequence.Constant values have zero error for every epsilon.The displayed j is only an evaluation,not the universal proof.Existence of a convergent subsequence forces neither convergence of the original sequence nor a unique subsequential limit.
