Absolute vs. Conditional Convergence
Definitions
If converges, then is absolutely convergent.
If converges but diverges, then is conditionally convergent.
(sigma): summation symbol.
(infinity): infinitely many terms.
: absolute value of .
- Absolute convergence: if converges, then converges.
- Conditional convergence: converges while diverges.
Theorem: Absolute convergence implies convergence.
Strategy
- Test the absolute-value series first.
- If it converges, the original converges.
- If it diverges, check for conditional convergence (e.g., alternating).
Example
Example 1
Determine convergence of .
Solution:
- Absolute series is a -series with → convergent.
- Therefore the original converges absolutely.
练习题
练习 1
Determine convergence of .
思路:Check absolute convergence.
步骤:
- converges ()
- Hence the original converges.
答案:收敛(convergence)。
