So, we shall discuss in detail the series with Positive terms, Definition2.12 A series ¥ u, a» Where u, >0_Y NEN, is called a series of positive terms. a A series of positive terms can cither converge or diverge to, It can never oscillate. 2.3.1 Necessary Condition for Convergence of a Serles Thoorem21 Ifthe series of postive terms Bu, is convergent, then tim, rt Scanned with CamScanner Sequences and Series @ 2.11 Proof Let Su, tute tu) tt, then re Sa 5, = Sea Since Lu, is convergent, lims, , where / is finite. limu, = lim(s, ~s,.,)=lims, -lims,_, =/-1=0 This is only a necessary condition, but not sufficient. Thats if imu, = 0, we cannot say the series is convergent, For example: the series 1 1 _ 1 a as Lette ae is divergent, but lim, = lim— Basi ae ee een *If limu, #0, then the series Yu, is not convergent. a a at 2.3.2. Test for Convergence of Positive Term Series The definition of convergence of a series depends on the limit of the sequence of partial sum {s,}. But in practice it will be difficult to find,s, in many cases. i So, it is necessary to device methods by which we can decide the convergence or divergence of a series without finding the partial sum s,. ‘A standard technique used in studying convergence of positive term series is comparison test. The given series Eu, is compared with a known series Dv, which is known as auxiliary series. 2.3.3 Comparison Tests 1. If Zu, and Lv, are positive term series such that u,Scv, VneN, for some positive constant c, then Eu, is convergent if Lv, is convergent. Ifu,2v, ¥ nN and if Ly, is divergent, then Lu, is divergent. 2. Limit form: Let Zu, and ¥v, be two positive term series such that li Then Lu, and Ev, behave alike. If Xv, converges, then Zu, converges and if Dv, diverges, then Zu, diverges. Here we compare Eu, with v,. Proof Given Du, and Lv, are series of positive terms and lim. ., we have 1 > 0.

If1=0, then Zu, is convergent if Ev, is convergent. 2. flo, then Du, is divergent if Ey, is divergent. 3. Imorderto discuss the convergence of S.u, by comparison test, we consider Sv, whose is known already. ‘Two standard series used for ‘comparison are the following. (@ The geometric series with positive terms @-+ar-+ar? +.--, where a>0 and r>0 It converges if 0< <1 and diverges if r>1, Jt tL ee It converges if p > 1 and diverges if p <1.
