An upper bound u of a non-empty set S in R is the supremum of S if and only if for every € > 0, there exists an s € such that u - € < s

Let S be a nonempty subset of R. If S is bounded above, then show that the set US = {α ∈ R : α is an upper bound of S} is bounded below, minUS exists, and sup S = minUS. Likewise, if S is bounded below, then show that the set LS = {β ∈ R : β is a lower bound of S} is bounded above, maxLS exists, and inf S = maxLS.

Let $S$ be a non-empty set of real numbers that is bounded above. Prove that the following are equivalent: (i) $M = sup S$ (ii) $M$ is an upper bound on $S$, and whenever $M_1 < M$, there exists an $s_1 in S$ such that $s_1 > M_1$.
