If a sequence converges, it is the same as saying it matches the Cauchy criterion for convergence.

Cauchy Sequence

A sequence [math](a_n)^\infty_{n=1}[/math] is Cauchy if:

[math]\forall\epsilon>0\exists N\in\mathbb{N}:n> m> N\implies d(a_m,a_n)<\epsilon[/math]

Theorem

A sequence converges if and only if it is Cauchy
