sup and inf of $A=left{frac{m^4+2n^2}{2m^2-m^2n+n^2}:m,n inBbb Nright}$

$$A=left{frac{m^4+2n^2}{2m^2-m^2n+n^2}:m,n inBbb Nright}$$



$sup A$ doesn't exist, because $A$ is not bounded above:



$$begin{align}n&=1 \
frac{m^4+2}{m^2+1} &le M \
frac{m^4+2}{m^2} &le M \
m^2+frac{2}{m^2} &le M \
m^2&le Mend{align}$$



But I can choose $m=lfloor M rfloor+1$ from Archimedean property.



I think $inf A=3/2$. Am I right?



UPDATE: for $m=3$ and $n=4$ we get $-113/2$



UPDATE2: I think $inf A$ doesn't exist too.
I have to prove that e.g:



$$forall _m exists _n:m^2n>n^2+2m^2$$

    About your first comment: then $;sup A=infty;$ ...isn't it? But you say "it doesn't exist"...and your question ends with $;sup A=frac32;$ . This is pretty confusing...and contradictory.

For $n=3$ we have $frac{m^4+2n^2}{2m^2-m^2n+n^2}to-infty$ as $mto+infty$, hence $inf A=-infty$.

    For $n=3$ we have $frac{m^4+2n^2}{2m^2-m^2n+n^2}to-infty$ as $mto+infty$, hence $inf A=-infty$.
