Let \((c_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}\) be the 'interlaced' sequence \(a_1, b_1, a_2, b_2, \ldots\) defined by \(c_{2m-1} = a_m\), \(c_{2m} = b_m\).

Show that \(\limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n\) is the largest subsequence limit of \(\{a_n\}\). Show that (1) there is some subsequence of \(\{a_n\}\) which converges to \(\limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n\), but (2) if \(\alpha > \limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n\) then there is no subsequence of \(\{a_n\}\) which converges to \(\alpha\). Assume \(\limsup_{n \to \infty} a_n \neq \pm \infty\).
