Dear Maple Experts
I would like to know, if there is a Maple command for building the Limit
Superior or Limit Inferior
respectivly. In case there is one, please, tell me in which package it is
included. If there isn't
such a command in the ordinary Maple programm, could you tell me, if there
is any such package
available in the internet? (What is the adress of such an internet page?)
Thanks for your help in advance.

In some cases, "limit" returns a range and you can take the left or
right endpoint. For example:
> limit(sin(x), x=infinity);
-1 .. 1
So you could design a rather crude "limsup" as
> limsup:= proc()
local r;
r:= limit(args);
if type(r,range) then rhs(r)
else r
fi
end;
But it will not be very powerful, because in many cases limit just returns
undefined even though there may be a lim sup.

Maple's ordinary limit command sometimes returns results as a range. For
example,
limit((-1)^n, n= infinity);
-1..1
The documentation does not claim that these numbers are the LimInf and
LimSup, but I do not know of a case where they are not.

Here's one:
> limit(sin(x)-sin(x)^2, x=infinity);
-2 .. 1
The actual lim sup is 1/4.

This is a further example:
> limit(2*sin(x)*cos(x),x=infinity);
-2 .. 2
> limit(sin(2*x),x=infinity);
-1 .. 1

The range computations appear somewhat "rough". At least it appears that the
ranges are - if wrong - always overestmated. Or are there examples, where the
computed ranges are too small?
All the best Jurgen
