If the limit comparison test gives 0 when comparing to a convergent series, why don't you know that the compared series converges?

user259867

@bjb568 You know, in one of two cases.

user259867

That is, if \sum b_n converges and a_n/b_n -> 0, you can conclude that \sum a_n converges.

user259867

But this is not symmetric. If \sum a_n converges and a_n/b_n -> 0, there's no conclusion about b_n.

user259867

Some books in fact present the Limit Comparison test in this extended form. But perhaps it's too confusing for some.

user259867

2:47 AM

BTW I am assuming b_n>0 here.

user259867

The proof is not hard. If a_n/b_n ->0, then for all sufficiently large n one has |a_n|/b_n < 1. Therefore, |a_n|<b_n, so the Comparison test applies.

@Behaviour Stupid textbook.

I knew I had to be right.

Intuition is totally right.

If you're smaller than a converger, you converge. If you're greater than a diverger, you diverge. The part that determines most of the value of the series is the part going to infinity, so convergence can be determined by comparing sufficiently large terms in the series, even if sufficiently large means infinity (or the limit).

Yay, it has a name.

And I can make intelligent comment to teacher.

user259867

Just a word of caution: what you said is exactly right for series with nonnegative terms: the smaller the easier to converge. For series with terms of opposite signs convergence is trickier.

user259867

For example: 1/1 - 1/1 + 1/2 - 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/3 + 1/4 - 1/4 + ..... converges.

bjb568

Well, you can AST or split it up somehow.

user259867

But 1/1 - 0.5/1 + 1/2 - 0.5/2 + 1/3 - 0.5/3 + 1/4 - 0.5/4 + ... diverges

bjb568

eg sin(pi/2*n)/n

user259867

4:39 AM

Note that I made every other term smaller, and the thing became divergent.

user259867

The reason is that the convergence of the first series is a matter of balance: negative kills off positive.

user259867

Both are too big to converge on their own, but they kill each other. If one of them is weakened, the winner makes the series diverge.

bjb568

Yeah, it's pretty easy to see if the nth partial sum over n is going to some asymptote other than 0.

user259867

For the first series, AST applies. For the second it does not (that's why there is "decreasing" assumption there).

user259867

As you said, the second series can be studied by looking at partial sums: every other sum is like the partial sums of 0.5/1 + 0.5/2 + 0.5/3 + 0.5/4 +... and that one is definitely divergent.

"That's" is a contraction of "that is". "Thats" is possessive.
