Definition: Convergent Series

editcontribute as guest     [id:175]   

Notation

show notation

A real series \(\sum_{k=0}^\infty x_k\) is called convergent, if the real sequence \((s_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) of partial sums \[s_n:=\sum_{k=0}^n x_k,\quad\quad n\in\mathbb N\] is convergent.

For convergent real series, the notation

\[\sum_{k=0}^\infty x_k\]

can, depending on the context, denote two things:

  1. the convergent real series itself or
  2. the limit of the sequence of its partial sums.
