The number sequence { x k } is said to be statistically convergent to the number L provided that the set { k ∈ N : | x k − L | ≥ ε }, instead of being finite, has natural density 0, where the natural density of a subset K ⊂ N (see [26], Chapter 11) is defined by δ ( K ) = lim n → ∞ 1 n | { k ≤ n : k ∈ K } |, where | { k ≤ n : k ∈ K } | denotes the number of elements of K not exceeding n.
(The image seems suspiciously apt Chapter 1 in a life story defined by near-misses but he inear-misses but mother, Elinsists, "thated about this motherimElisabeth
