Original question and givens

Use a_n=L+(−1)^n*c/(n+shift) for every n≥0, L=14/15, c=14>0, shift=15≥1, parity=1 and epsilon=1/23>0. The infinite index rule is k(j)=2j+parity for every j≥0. Give (parity, index_rule, limit, epsilon, J, value_at_k_J, strict_tail_certificate, certificate).

  • G001 — Use a_n=L+(−1)^n*c/(n+shift) for every n≥0, L=14/15, c=14>0, shift=15≥1, parity=1 and epsilon=1/23>0. The infinite index rule is k(j)=2j+parity for every j≥0. Give (parity, index_rule, limit, epsilon, J, value_at_k_J, strict_tail_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-oscillatory-tail;original snapshot and mathematics retained

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[parity, index_rule, limit, epsilon, J, value_at_k_J, strict_tail_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 a_n=14/15+(-1)^n*(14)/(n+15) for EVERY n>=0;parity=1

After

k(j)=2j+1 for ALL j>=0;k(j+1)-k(j)=2>0;selected sign=-1;whole sequence bounded by |L|+c/shift

Conditions: none

The parity rule is an infinite strictly increasing index map.Selected signs are fixed and errors equal c/(2j+parity+shift).The whole sequence is bounded;its monotonicity is not a premise for this subsequence certificate.

S003 · calculation

Before

bw c over epsilon := div(14, 1/23)

After

bw c over epsilon = 322

Conditions: none

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

Before

bw actual source index := sum(1, 308)

After

bw actual source index = 309

Conditions: none

After

bw witness distance = 7/162

Conditions: none

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

S008 · calculation

Before

bw predecessor distance := div(14, 322)

After

bw predecessor distance = 1/23

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, S007

S009 · implies

Before

bw:c=14,shift=15,epsilon=1/23;index(q)=2q+1;c/epsilon=322;floor=322

After

least nonnegative witness=154;actual source index=309;distance=7/162<epsilon;predecessor distance=1/23;no predecessor evaluated when witness0

Conditions: none

Strict distance<epsilon means the denominator exceeds c/epsilon,so its integer threshold is floor(c/epsilon)+1.Round the affine index upward and clamp only the witness to0.Check the predecessor only when positive;equality still fails.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: tail_strict_least_index_not_equality_or_negative_predecessor · Uses: G001, S008

S010 · implies

Before

bw:positive c=14,epsilon=1/23,shift=15,stride=2,offset=1;least witness=154

After

for EVERY integer q>=154,denominator=2q+1+15>=witness denominator>0,so 0<distance<=(7/162)<epsilon

Conditions: none

This is an algebraic inequality for every later index,not convergence guessed from one evaluated term.Positive increasing denominators and a fixed positive numerator control the whole tail;the predecessor check proves minimality only.
