I have seen a proof of $\displaystyle\limsup_{n\to\infty}|\cos{n}|=1$ by using density of $\{a+b\alpha: a,b\in \mathbb{Z}\}$ in $R$, where $\alpha$ is irrational.
Here I give another proof of as following:
See this article, a special case is that there is two increasing sequences of odd positive integers $(p_n),(q_n)$ such that $$ \left|\pi - \frac{p_n}{q_n} \right| \leq \frac{1}{q_n^2},\quad n>1.$$
Note that $|\cos (\pi-x) |= |\cos x |$ for $x\in [0,\pi]$, then $$|\cos \left(q_n\pi - p_n\right)|= |\cos p_n| \geq \cos\frac{1}{q_n} \to 1.$$ therefore $|\cos p_n|\to 1$.
Is this solution right? Thanks in advance.
