The distance between any two terms bn and bm (with m>n) is bounded by the length of the interval [an,bn]. Because the bisection method halves the interval length at each step, this distance is bounded by (21)n−1∣b1−a1∣.
Conditions: m>n∈N.; The sequences (an) and (bn) are constructed via the bisection method.; bn is an upper bound and an is a lower bound for the set M.
