To any sequence we can assign a sequence with terms defined as and an expression also denoted which is called an (infinite) (number) series with terms The sequemce is called the sequence of partial sums of

We say that a series converges and has a finite sum s, which is denoted if If does not converge, we say that it diverges or is divergent and either or the limit does not exist, in which case we say that oscillates.

Example The series converges and adds up to 1

Example The series oscillates since we have

Necessary condition of convergence If a series converges, then

Example The series is called harmonic. It diverges even if, clearly, (*) Suppose converges, then so does and thus , which is not possible due to (*)

Geometric series A geometric series where converges if otherwise it diverges.

For a positive integer p, both series and either converge or diverge at the same time. If they converge, then

For a non-zero real k, both series and either converge or diverge at the same time. If they converge, then

A convergent series has the property that its neighbouring terms can be associated without changing the sum of the series, which is what the following theorem says: Let . Let further be an increasing sequence of natural numbers and . Let then

Note that a divergent series may become convergent after its terms are associated as the following example shows

Sum and difference of series For two series we define their sum or difference as the sum or difference of their corresponding terms, that is,

Let be convergent series and let , then

Series with positive (non-negative) terms For a series with positive (non-negative) terms the following assertions are obvious: The sequence of partial sums of a series with positive (non-negative) terms is increasing (non-decreasing) If the sequence of partial sums of a series with positive (non-negative) terms has an upper bound, the series converges A series with positive (non-negative) terms cannot oscillate

Example The series converges for . The sequence of partial sums is increasing. We will show that it is bounded above. Let n be an arbitrary index and k such a natural number that . Then

The previous formulas hold if , which means that However, the last inequality holds if which is the assumption of the assertion.
