Definition:Little-O Notation/Sequence/Definition 1

Definition
Let $g: \N \to \R$ be a real sequence, expressed here as a real-valued function on the set of natural numbers $\N$.

Then $\map \oo g$ is defined as:


 * $\map \oo g = \set {f: \N \to \R: \forall c \in \R_{>0}: \exists n_0 \in \N: \forall n > n_0: \size {\map f n} \le c \cdot \size {\map g n} }$
