In asymptotic analysis in general, one sequence () that converges to a limit is said to asymptotically converge to with a faster order of convergence than another sequence () that converges to in a shared metric space with distance metric | |, such as the real numbers or complex numbers with the ordinary absolute difference metrics, if
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]
A series is convergent (or converges) if and only if the sequence (,,, … ) {\displaystyle (S_{1},S_{2},S_{3},\dots )} of its partial sums tends to a limit ; that means that, when adding one a k {\displaystyle a_{k}} after the other in the order given by the indices , one gets partial sums that become closer and closer to a given number.
The continuous mapping theorem states that for a continuous function g, if the sequence {X n} converges in distribution to X, then {g(X n)} converges in distribution to g(X). Note however that convergence in distribution of {X n} to X and {Y n} to Y does in general not imply convergence in distribution of {X n + Y n} to X + Y or of {X n Y n} to XY.
First we want to show that (X n, c) converges in distribution to (X, c). By the portmanteau lemma this will be true if we can show that E[f(X n, c)] → E[f(X, c)] for any bounded continuous function f(x, y). So let f be such arbitrary bounded continuous function. Now consider the function of a single variable g(x) := f(x, c).
If the integral of a function f is uniformly bounded over all intervals, and g is a non-negative monotonically decreasing function, then the integral of fg is a convergent improper integral. Notes [ edit ]
If diverges and converges, then necessarily =, that is, =. The essential content here is that in some sense the numbers a n {\displaystyle a_{n}} are larger than the numbers b n {\displaystyle b_{n}} .
In mathematics, the Weierstrass M-test is a test for determining whether an infinite series of functions converges uniformly and absolutely.It applies to series whose terms are bounded functions with real or complex values, and is analogous to the comparison test for determining the convergence of series of real or complex numbers.
