  2. Convergent series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_series

    If r < 1, then the series is absolutely convergent. If r > 1, then the series diverges. If r = 1, the ratio test is inconclusive, and the series may converge or diverge. Root test or nth root test. Suppose that the terms of the sequence in question are non-negative. Define r as follows:

  3. Convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_of_random...

    As an example one may consider random variables with densities f n (x) = (1 + cos(2πnx))1 (0,1). These random variables converge in distribution to a uniform U(0, 1), whereas their densities do not converge at all. [3] However, according to Scheffé’s theorem, convergence of the probability density functions implies convergence in ...

  4. Limit of a sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_sequence

    If such a limit exists and is finite, the sequence is called convergent. [2] A sequence that does not converge is said to be divergent. [3] The limit of a sequence is said to be the fundamental notion on which the whole of mathematical analysis ultimately rests. [1]

    It does not converge in probability toward zero (or any other value) as n goes to infinity. ... All X 1, X 2, ... have the same characteristic function, ...

    The staggered geometric progression () =,,,,, …, / ⌊ ⌋, …, using the floor function ⌊ ⌋ that gives the largest integer that is less than or equal to , converges R-linearly to 0 with rate 1/2, but it does not converge Q-linearly; see the second plot of the figure below. The defining Q-linear convergence limits do not exist for this ...

  7. Basel problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

    The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares.It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences. [2]

  8. Convergence tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_tests

    If r < 1, then the series converges absolutely. If r > 1, then the series diverges. If r = 1, the root test is inconclusive, and the series may converge or diverge. The root test is stronger than the ratio test: whenever the ratio test determines the convergence or divergence of an infinite series, the root test does too, but not conversely. [1]

  9. Proofs of convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

    Each of the probabilities on the right-hand side converge to zero as n → ∞ by definition of the convergence of {X n} and {Y n} in probability to X and Y respectively. Taking the limit we conclude that the left-hand side also converges to zero, and therefore the sequence {( X n , Y n )} converges in probability to {( X , Y )}.
