Take . Then , but alternates between and . Thus convergence of the scaled sequence does not imply convergence of its successive differences.
A sequence converges to precisely when
For a finite collection of convergent sequences, choose for the same tolerance in row , and let . If , every available lies within of , and so does any selected . Every such finite rowwise selection converges to . The finiteness is what permits a single maximum of the cutoffs.
For the infinite collection, define
For every fixed , this sequence is eventually exactly , and hence converges to . But its diagonal selection is , which has two distinct subsequential limits and does not converge. A moving row index can always choose the exceptional entry before that row reaches its eventual behavior.
