In mathematics, the comparison test, sometimes called the direct comparison test to distinguish it from similar related tests (especially the limit comparison test), provides a way of deducing whether an infinite series or an improper integral converges or diverges by comparing the series or integral to one whose convergence properties are known.
In mathematics, the ratio test is a test (or "criterion") for the convergence of a series =, where each term is a real or complex number and a n is nonzero when n is large. The test was first published by Jean le Rond d'Alembert and is sometimes known as d'Alembert's ratio test or as the Cauchy ratio test.
Comparison test can mean: Limit comparison test , a method of testing for the convergence of an infinite series. Direct comparison test , a way of deducing the convergence or divergence of an infinite series or an improper integral.
[24] [25] The divergence of the harmonic series implies that there is no limit on how far beyond the table the block stack can extend. [25] For stacks with one block per layer, no better solution is possible, but significantly more overhang can be achieved using stacks with more than one block per layer.
The test can be useful for series where n appears as in a denominator in f. For the most basic example of this sort, the harmonic series ∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 / n {\textstyle \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }1/n} is transformed into the series ∑ 1 {\textstyle \sum 1} , which clearly diverges.
In mathematics, the nth-term test for divergence [1] is a simple test for the divergence of an infinite series: If lim n → ∞ a n ≠ 0 {\displaystyle \lim _{n\to \infty }a_{n}\neq 0} or if the limit does not exist, then ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n {\displaystyle \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }a_{n}} diverges.
