Suppose that $\{a_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$ is a sequence. Then \begin{eqnarray*} \sum_{i=1}^\infty a_i & = & L \end{eqnarray*} means that the sequence of partial sums $$\Big\{\sum_{i=1}^n a_i \Big\}_{n=1}^\infty$$ has sequential limit $L$. Such a series is said to converge; a series for which no such limit exists is said to diverge. \ Theorem 5.1. Suppose that the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ converges. Then $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} |a_n| = 0.$$ \ Exercise. Show that the converse to Theorem 5.2 is not true. \ Theorem 5.2. Let $r$ be a number then, the series $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} r^n$$ converges if and only if $|r| < 1.$ Furthermore, if $|r| < 1$ then $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} r^n= \frac{1}{1-r}.$$ \ Theorem 5.3. If the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} |a_n|$ converges, then so does $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$. \ Exercise. Show that the converse to Theorem 5.3 is not true. \ Definition. $\int_K^{\infty} fdg$ means the following limit if it exists: $$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \int_K^{n} fdg.$$ \ Theorem 5.4 [The integral test]. Suppose that the function $f$ is defined for all positive integers and that $f|_{ [K, \infty)}$ is defined and is positive and decreasing. Then $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f(n)$ converges if and only if $\int_K^{\infty} f$ exists. \ Theorem 5.5 [The comparison test]. Suppose that $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and $\{b_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ are two sequences so that $0 \le a_n \le b_n$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Then: \qquad 1.) If $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} b_n$ converges, then so does $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n$; \qquad 1.) If $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n$ diverges, then so does $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} b_n$. \ Theorem 5.6 [The limit comparison test]. Suppose that each of $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n$ and $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}b_n$ is a series of positive numbers and that $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} = L \ne 0.$$ Then $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n$ converges if and only if $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}b_n$ converges. \ Exercise. If $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} = 0$ then something still can be said about the relationship between the two series. What is that? \ Theorem 5.7 [The ratio test]. Consider the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ and let $$L = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \Big{|} \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\Big{|}.$$ Then: \begin{eqnarray*} \mbox{If} & L<1 & \mbox{then the series converges} \\ \mbox{If} & L>1 & \mbox{then the series diverges}. \end{eqnarray*} \ Exercise. Let $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ be a series so that $a_n > 0$ and suppose $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = 1.$$ (i.) Find an example where the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ converges; (ii.) Find an example where the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ diverges. \newpage \begin{center} \textbf{Power Series} \end{center} Theorem 5.8. Suppose that $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of numbers and $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \Big{|} \frac{A_n}{A_{n+1}} \Big{|} = r.$$ Then if $|x| < r$ the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} A_n x^n$ converges. \ For the following theorems assume that $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of numbers, $r<1$ is a number so that $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \Big{|} \frac{A_{n}}{A_{n+1}} \Big{|} = r$$ and $f$ is defined by $$f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} A_n x^n \mbox{ for } -r < x < r.$$ \ Theorem 5.9. If $0< \delta < r$, then then sequence of functions $f_n = \sum_{i=0}^{n}A_i x^i$ converges uniformly to the function $f$ on the interval $[-\delta, \delta]$. \ Theorem 5.10. If $0< x < r$, then $$\int_0^x f(t) dt = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}A_n \frac{ x^{n+1}}{n+1}.$$ \ Theorem 5.11. If $0< x < r$, then $$f'(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty A_n n x^{n-1}.$$ \end{document}
