10. Sequences, Infinite Series, Improper Integrals.
Definition. A function f whose domain is the set of all positive integers 1,2,3.... is called an infinite sequence. The function value f(n) is called the nth term of the sequence.
Definition. A sequence {f(n)} is said to have a limit L if, for every positive number ¥å, there is another positive number N (which may depend on ¥å) such that |f(n)-L| [ ¥å for all n ¡Ã N. In this case, we say the sequence {f(n)} converges to L and we write , or f(n) ¡æ L as n¡æ¡Ä. A sequence which does not converge is called divergent.
Theorem 10.1. A monotonic sequence converges if and only if it is bounded.
Point. Sn = ¡Ã log (n+1)
Point. = 2 - .
Theorem 10.2. Let ¢²an and ¢²bn be convergent infinite series of complex terms and let ¥á and ¥â be complex constants. Then the series ¥Ò(¥á an + ¥â bn) also converges, and its sum is given by the equation = ¥á + ¥â.
Theorem 10.3. If ¢²an converges and if ¢²bn diverges, then ¥Ò(an¡¦(»ý·«)
