Q: Multiples of an irrational mod 1 are dense

InfimumMaximumI'm not sure how to solve this one. Thank you! $2.$ For any $\alpha\in \mathbb R$ we define $$\lfloor \alpha \rfloor = \max_{n\in\mathbb Z}\{\,n\mid n\leq \alpha\,\}$$ and $$\alpha\bmod 1 = \alpha - \lfloor \alpha \rfloor$$ Let $\alpha$ be irrational. (a) Given $n\in\mathbb N$ show that ...

Q: For an irrational number $a$ the fractional part of $na$ is dense in $[0,1]$

Guest_000How to prove that the $\{$ fractional part of $n\alpha\mid n \in \mathbb{N}$ $\}$ is dense in $[0,1]$ for an irrational number $\alpha$. NOTICE that $n$ is in $\mathbb{N}$ Also notice that this is not a duplicate of the mentioned question as it does not carry a correct answer and the partially ...

Q: Multiples of an irrational number forming a dense subset

MGNSay you picked your favorite irrational number $q$ and looking at $S = \{nq: n\in \mathbb{Z} \}$ in $\mathbb{R}$, you chopped off everything but the decimal of $nq$, leaving you with a number in $[0,1]$. Is this new set dense in $[0,1]$? If so, why? (Basically looking at the $\mathbb{Z}$-orbit o...

Can some of them be closed as duplicates?
Probably we have to distinguish between questions about $n\in\mathbb Z$ and $n\in\mathbb N$.

Q: Multivariate limit $\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{{x{y^2}}}{{{x^2} + {y^4}}} = 0$

ys wong$$\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{{x{y^2}}}{{{x^2} + {y^4}}} = 0$$ (a) Prove that the limit of $f(x, y)$ as $(x, y)$ approaches $(0, 0)$ along any straight line is $0$. (b) Does $\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} f(x, y)$ exist? What I'm confused about this question is, for part (b) based on the discounity te...

Q: Prove that $\lim\limits_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{{x{y^2}}}{{{x^2} + {y^4}}} = 0$

mathsalomon$$\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac{{x{y^2}}}{{{x^2} + {y^4}}} = 0$$ Please, Anyone could suggest me some way for this?. Thanks.

The way I see it, the main difference is that the newer question asks also about approaching (0,0) along arbitrary straight line.
Should the new one be closed as a duplicate of the older question?
