Prove that $sup S=sup R,$ if $SsubseteqBbb{R}$ is bounded from above and $Rsubseteq S$.

$begingroup$


Please, is this correct?



Let $S$ be a subset of the real numbers bounded from above and let $Rsubseteq S$ satisfy the following condition: $forall;xin S,;exists; rin R;text{such that};xleq r$.
I want to prove that begin{align} sup S=sup R.end{align}



PROOF



Let $xin S$ be arbitrary, then $exists; rin R;text{such that};xleq r.$ The number, $r$, is an upper bound for the set $S.$ So, $sup Sleq r,;text{for some} ; rin R.$ By definition of $sup,;;yleqsup R, forall; yin R.$ In particular, $y=r,;rleqsup R.$ Thus,
begin{align}tag{1} sup Sleq rleqsup R.end{align}
Since $Rsubseteq S$, we have
begin{align}tag{2} sup Rleq sup S.end{align}
Thus, begin{align} sup S=sup R.end{align}

    Your $r$ is not necessarily an upper bound for $S$. $r$ depends on $x$. So, how do you conclude that $r$ is an upper bound for $S$? Choose, for example, $S = (0,1)$ and $R= S cap mathbb{Q}$.

It seems you confuse "$color{blue}{forall};xin S,;color{blue}{exists}; rin R;text{such that};xleq r$" with "$color{blue}{exists}; rin R; color{blue}{forall};xin S,;text{such that};xleq r$".



The sets $S = (0,1)$ and $R= S cap mathbb{Q}$ satisfy the condition: $color{blue}{forall};xin S,;color{blue}{exists}; rin R;text{such that};xleq r$.
But your conclusion $sup S leq r$ is not true for any $r in R$.



To show that $sup R = sup S$ you may proceed as follows:




  • Show $forall epsilon > 0 exists x_{epsilon}in R: sup S - epsilon < x_{epsilon}$
    $$Rightarrow forall epsilon >0: sup S - epsilon < sup R Rightarrow sup S leq sup R$$
    That's exactly what was to be shown.

Suppose $sup R<sup S$. Then $sup R$ is not an upper bound of $S$, thus $exists xin S|sup R<xlesup S$. But this is a contradiction, since $forall rin R, rlesup R<x$, and it implies there does not exist any $rge x$. This means $sup R=sup S$.
