Construct a sequence subsequential limits of which form a range $[a, b]subset Bbb R$












1












$begingroup$


I want to:




construct a sequence subsequential limits of which form a range $[a, b]subset Bbb R$




Not sure how to express myself correctly but I will try.



I was thinking of a range from $a$ to $b$. If i could split that range infinitely many times and always choose either left or right part, then I could use that "path" as a subsequence. From that i should be able to find infinitely many subsequences which with some reordering will form a sequence containing any number in the range $[a, b]$ as its subsequential limit.



I've been playing around with this idea in desmos, here is a basic sketch of the idea.



Could someone help me construct such a sequence? Is my approach even valid? If so then how could i finish it?

On the other hand, you can take the sequence:$$a,b,a,frac12a+frac12b,b,a,frac23a+frac13b,frac13a+frac23b,b,a,frac34a+frac14b,ldots$$

If $[a,b]=[0,1]$ then you can take the sequence
$$
frac 11, frac 12, frac 22, frac 13, frac 23, frac 33, frac 14, frac 24, frac 34, frac 44, dots
$$
It shouldn't be hard to see that any point in $[0,1]$ can be approximated arbitrarily well.



For general $[a,b]$ just linearly transform the above.

    Its famous that {$sin (n)}_{n=1}^infty$ is dense in $[-1,+1]$. So, shift to the interval of interest:
    $$ {a+ (b-a) sin n}_{nin mathbb{N}} .$$
