Real life applications of Cauchy Sequences?

2.5k Views Asked by At

What are some examples of real life applications of Cauchy sequences?(examples that could be modeled.) I read somewhere that the long term effects of weather on a construction could be modeled by a Cauchy sequence. Is it true? How is there convergence? Or could you give any other examples?

There is possibly no direct real-life application of Cauchy's Sequence. But if you go through Banach Contraction Theorem then you may find some examples which have application in real life.

Some intersting real life applications of Cauchy's Sequences are mentioned here: sensor data, stock market quotes, speech signals. In his book "A Wavelet Tour of Signal Processing: The Sparse Way", Stephane Mallat uses Cauchy's Sequences as well. Béla Lantos and Lőrinc Márton utilize them too, see their book "Nonlinear Control of Vehicles and Robots". I assume you will find a lot other examples in the area of Physics that are linked to industrial applications.
