Is "the nth logarithm test" for series' convergence reliable?
Is it possible to determine the convergence of a series $\sum a_n$ by evaluating $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \log_n(a_n)$$ and comparing the result to $-1$? Specifically, if this limit is less than $-1$, ...

Unconditional convergence and analytic map
Here is the definition of an analytic map. ANALYTIC MAP Let $ E$ and $ F$ be Banach spaces. A map $f \colon E\to F $ is analytic at $ x=0$ if $$ f(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}a_k(x) \tag 1 $$ where for ...

Continuity of $\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} e^{-nx}\sin{nx}$.
I was doing a problem where I was asked to show the continuity of $$\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} e^{-nx}\sin{nx},$$ for $x>0$. My approach was to consider the sequence $(\sigma_{n}(x))$ of partial sums of ...

Split a series in a sum of series
Suppose that $\sum_{n = 0}^\infty a_n$ is absolutely convergent and $\{P_1,\ldots, P_r\}$ is a partition of $\mathbb{N}$ (i.e. $\bigcup_{i=1}^r P_i = \mathbb{N}$ and $P_i \cap P_j = \emptyset$ for any ...

Probability with a Converging Infinite Sum
At a fairground, one big prize is being given away by a random chance game, such as spinning a wheel. A finite number of players line up in a queue and take turns with the game. If the person at the ...

Absolute convergence of a series in a Banach space.
Consider this classic proposition for nets from Banach Algebra Techniques in Operator Theory by Douglas: 1.8 Definition Let $\{f_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha \in A}$ be a set of vectors in the Banach space $\...

Absolute/conditional convergence of $ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \Bigl(\tfrac{\arctan n}{n} + (-1)^n\Bigr)\,\sin\!\Bigl(\tfrac1n\Bigr) $
Examine the absolute/conditional convergence of the series $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \Bigl(\tfrac{\arctan n}{n} + (-1)^n\Bigr)\,\sin\!\Bigl(\tfrac1n\Bigr) $$ I can't seem to bound it from above, so I'm ...

From formal power series to analytical ones
What is the best way to describe the relation between the ring of formal power series $\mathbb C[[X]]$ and the actual complex power series? I understand both separately, but I have never seen them ...

Showing the decimal expansion of $\sqrt 2$ is a Cauchy sequence
I've recently been teaching myself about Cauchy sequences and I'm trying to understand a certain proof that the decimal expansion of $\sqrt{2}$ is a Cauchy sequence. This proof uses the following ...

Two definitions of summable series in a Hilbert space
I am trying to prove a comment made on page 18 in Halmos's Introduction to Hilbert Spaces and The Theory of Spectral Multiplicity. For below, assume $X$ is an arbitrary Hilbert space. I am rephrasing ...

Converging absolutely and uniformly versus converging uniformly absolutely [duplicate]
I'm writing because I suspect Conway's "Functions of one complex variable" makes a minor mistake with its terminology, but I'm tired and unsure if I'm missing something. In the chapter on ...

Please suggest a book that explains this theorem. We can use this theorem when we prove $e^{iz}=\cos z+i \sin z$. (Sin Hitotumatu's analysis book.)
I am reading "Introduction to Analysis 1" (in Japanese) by Sin Hitotumatu. This book contains the following theorem. I found this theorem interesting. For example we can use this theorem ...

Why is absolute convergence necessary for the Rearrangement Theorem?
The following proof of the rearrangement theorem is from Bartle and Sherbert's Introduction to Real Analysis, 3rd edition. I do not see where absolute convergence was used in the proof. 9.1.5 ...

Absolute convergence of $\mathop\sum\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }{a}_{n}$
For $\mathop\sum\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }{a}_{n}$, if for any subsequence $\left\{ {a}_{{n}_{k}}\right\}$, we have the convergences of $\mathop\sum\limits_{{k = 1}}^{\infty }{a}_{{n}_{k}}$ then by ...

Absolute convergence of a series of functions
I came across the definition of absolute convergence of a series of functions and I am unsure if I did understand said definition correctly. Thus far, the only notion of absolute convergence I knew ...
