[parent] Raabe's criteria (Theorem)
Theorem 1   The series $a_1\!+\!a_2\!+\!a_3\!+\cdots$ , with positive terms is
  • convergent if, starting from some value of $n$ its terms fulfil the condition $$\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \leqq 1-\frac{\mu}{n}$$ where $\mu$ is a constant and $> 1$
  • divergent if, starting from some value of $n$ its terms fulfil the condition $$\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \geqq 1-\frac{1}{n}-\frac{M}{n^2}$$ where $M$ is a constant.
