Squeeze theorem: Let (an)(a_n), (bn)(b_n), and (cn)(c_n) be real sequences such that an≤bn≤cna_n \le b_n \le c_n for all sufficiently large nn. If an→La_n \to L and cn→Lc_n \to L, then bn→Lb_n \to L.

This theorem is a standard tool for proving convergence without explicitly computing a limit, and it has an analogous form for of functions.
