Accept equivalent mathematically correct reasoning. Require explicit definitions, theorem hypotheses, proof structure, verification, and limitations.
Assume limits L and M; use the triangle inequality with ε=|L-M|/3 to force L=M.
Identify the first invalid inference, missing hypothesis, quantifier error, unjustified limit interchange, or unproved existence claim; then supply a valid repair.
A complete response explicitly states the definitions, domain, hypotheses, exact target, and theorem dependencies for Sequence Limits from the Epsilon Definition.
The argument must address constructing index thresholds and proving convergence with each nontrivial step justified and the final conclusion restated.
A strong application explains the mathematical model in iterative algorithms, numerical approximation, dynamical systems, and asymptotic analysis, verifies conditions, and names at least one limitation.
Accept a second valid proof, a counterexample showing necessity of a hypothesis, an independent estimate, or a reproducible finite check that is correctly described as supporting evidence.
