    In other words, it is enough that there is a null set such that the sequence {()} non-decreases for every . To see why this is true, we start with an observation that allowing the sequence { f n } {\displaystyle \{f_{n}\}} to pointwise non-decrease almost everywhere causes its pointwise limit f {\displaystyle f} to be undefined on some null set ...

  7. Cantor's intersection theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor's_intersection_theorem

    A simple corollary of the theorem is that the Cantor set is nonempty, since it is defined as the intersection of a decreasing nested sequence of sets, each of which is defined as the union of a finite number of closed intervals; hence each of these sets is non-empty, closed, and bounded. In fact, the Cantor set contains uncountably many points.
