I want to try and prove that
If {an}∞n=1 is a positive sequence converging to zero, then there exists N∈N such that an+N≤an for every n∈N.
Proof. Given ε>0, it was easy to prove that there exists N that depends on ε, such that an+N≤an+ε. For as {supn≥kan}∞k=1 is decreasing, I pick N such that supn≥kan<ε whenever k≥N. This means that for every n∈N, an+N<ε≤ε+an.
Question: I have heard of 'Epsilon of room'-proofs, but I cannot find out whether I am allowed to let N depend on ε in such proofs, or not. Could you provide and answer to whether such a dependecy is allowed, and also explain what kind of dependencies are allowed and forbidden in such proofs.
