Convergence Criteria
The product of positive real numbers with a finite amount of
converges if and only if the sum
converges. This allows the translation of convergence criteria for infinite sums into convergence criteria for infinite products.
For products in which each, written as, for instance, where, the bounds
show that the infinite product converges precisely if the infinite sum of the pn converges. This relies on the Monotone convergence theorem.

Famous quotes containing the word criteria:
“There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.”
—H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
