Abstract

In this note, we give a direct proof that {Sn} and {Pn} converge to the same limit. The main tool in our proof is the squeeze theorem, which is probably the easiest to prove among the limit theorems. However, to use it, we need to establish a relevant squeeze, which is the main result of this note.
