The investigation of the (p, q)-Bernstein operators put forth the problem of finding the conditions when a sequence of (p, q)-integers tends to infinity. This is crucial for justifying the convergence results pertaining to the (p, q)-operators. Recently, Cai and Xu found a necessary and sufficient condition on sequences {p(n)} and {q(n)}, where 0 < q(n) < p(n) <= 1, to guarantee that a sequence of (p(n), q(n))-integers tends to infinity. This article presents an elaborated version of their result.
