The Limit Comparison Test Needs Positivity

Pages 374-375 | Published online: 22 Dec 2017
 

Summary

The limit comparison test for positive series does not extend to general series. An example is given. In a certain sense, this is the only possible example. Given a conditionally convergent series, there exists a termwise much smaller series so that the sum of the two series diverges. Given a divergent series with terms tending to zero, there exists a convergent but termwise much bigger series.
