Cauchy criterion for convergence
A series in a Banach space is convergent iff for every there is a number such that
holds for all and .
Proof:
First define
Now, since is complete, converges if and only if it is a Cauchy sequence, so if for every there is a number , such that for all holds:
We can assume and thus set . The series is convergent iff
