The comparison tests Theorem Suppose that and are series with positive terms, then (i) If is convergent and for all n, then is also convergent. (ii) If is divergent and for all n, then is also divergent. Ex. Determine whether converges. Sol. So the series converges.

The limit comparison test Theorem Suppose that and are series with positive terms. Suppose Then (i) when c is a finite number and c>0, then either both series converge or both diverge. (ii) when c=0, then the convergence of implies the convergence of (iii) when then the divergence of implies the divergence of

Example Ex. Determine whether the following series converges. Sol. (1) diverge. choose then (2) diverge. take then (3) converge for p>1 and diverge for take then

Question Ex. Determine whether the series converges or diverges. Sol.

Alternating series An alternating series is a series whose terms are alternatively positive and negative. For example, The n-th term of an alternating series is of the form where is a positive number.

The alternating series test Theorem If the alternating series satisfies (i) for all n (ii) Then the alternating series is convergent. Ex. The alternating harmonic series is convergent.

Example Ex. Determine whether the following series converges. Sol. (1) converge (2) converge Question.

Absolute convergence A series is called absolutely convergent if the series of absolute values is convergent. For example, the series is absolutely convergent while the alternating harmonic series is not. A series is called conditionally convergent if it is convergent but not absolutely convergent. Theorem. If a series is absolutely convergent, then it is convergent.

Example Ex. Determine whether the following series is convergent. Sol. (1) absolutely convergent (2) conditionally convergent

The ratio test (1) If then is absolutely convergent. (2) If or then diverges. (3) If the ratio test is inconclusive: that is, no conclusion can be drawn about the convergence of

Example Ex. Test the convergence of the series Sol. (1) convergent (2) convergent for divergent for

The root test (1) If then is absolutely convergent. (2) If or then diverges. (3) If the root test is inconclusive.

Example Ex. Test the convergence of the series Sol. convergent for divergent for

Rearrangements If we rearrange the order of the term in a finite sum, then of course the value of the sum remains unchanged. But this is not the case for an infinite series. By a rearrangement of an infinite series we mean a series obtained by simply changing the order of the terms. It turns out that: if is an absolutely convergent series with sum, then any rearrangement of has the same sum. However, any conditionally convergent series can be rearranged to give a different sum.

Example Ex. Consider the alternating harmonic series Multiplying this series by we get or Adding these two series, we obtain

Strategy for testing series If we can see at a glance that then divergence If a series is similar to a p-series, such as an algebraic form, or a form containing factorial, then use comparison test. For an alternating series, use alternating series test.

Strategy for testing series If n-th powers appear in the series, use root test. If f decreasing and positive, use integral test. Sol. (1) diverge (2) converge (3) diverge (4) converge

Power series A power series is a series of the form where x is a variable and are constants called coefficients of series. For each fixed x, the power series is a usual series. We can test for convergence or divergence. A power series may converge for some values of x and diverge for other values of x. So the sum of the series is a function

Power series For example, the power series converges to when More generally, A series of the form is called a power series in (x-a) or a power series centered at a or a power series about a.

Example Ex. For what values of x is the power series convergent? Sol. By ratio test, the power series diverges for all and only converges when x=0.
