Add two more existence examples to mmil.html (#5006)
* Add two more existence examples 1. The existence of coefficients, given a polynomial. 2. The existence of a rate of convergence, given a sequence known to converge. * Update mmil.raw.html Co-authored-by: Steven Nguyen <[email protected]> * Remove sentence about isset / truncated existence It seems like isset would also apply in a situation of explicit existence. --------- Co-authored-by: Steven Nguyen <[email protected]>

835+
<li>
836+
If we have the coefficients of a polynomial, ~ elplyr gives explicit
837+
existence (in the form of a function definition) for a polynomial
838+
with those coefficients. But suppose we have a polynomial: can we
839+
gets its coefficients? In the case of truncated existence, yes:
840+
~ elply2 does that. But explicit existence in this case would be
841+
something like df-coe from set.mm.

</li>
843+
844+
<li>
845+
Saying that a sequence converges using the notation ` F e. dom ~~> `
846+
is making an assertion of truncated existence; we are saying that
847+
there is a rate at which the sequence converges but we are providing
848+
no way to get that rate. (Note the use of ` E. ` in ~ df-clim ).
849+
On the other hand, the hypothesis in ~ climcvg1n gives the rate at
850+
which the sequence converges, and often we will need that rate of
851+
convergence rather than the truncated (mere) existence of such a rate.
