limit comparison test
The following theorem is a powerful test for convergence of series.
Theorem 1 (Limit ).
Let and
be two series of positive numbers.
- 1.
-
2.
If and converges then converges as well. If and diverges then diverges as well.
-
3.
Similarly, if the limit is infinite (“”) and converges then converges as well. If and diverges then diverges as well.
