Infinite Product - Convergence Criteria

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:

    Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.
