Enumerate both sets of peaks of a sequence in increasing order of index. If , the two selected subsequences both tend to .
For the converse, suppose and . Given , choose large enough that both selected terms differ from by less than . For every , the two peak of a sequence conditions implyThe lower bound comes from the peak of a sequence of at . This is precisely the definition of . Thus convergence is equivalent to a common finite limit of a sequence for the upper and lower peak subsequences.
