THe problem first assumed that
$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\lvert a_i\rvert=A,\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\lvert b_j\rvert=B$
It then asked me to prove:
$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\lvert a_ib_j\rvert$ converges
I did it. Now I am stuck in the problem.
$s_{nn}=\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^na_ib_j$, prove that the limit of it is $AB$
I approached it in several ways
- Directly prove $s_{nn}$ converges to AB, but to no avail
- Prove $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}a_ib_j$ converges to AB, but to no avail
- Prove $\forall n\in\mathbb{N}\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^na_ib_j=(\sum_{i=1}^na_i)(\sum_{j=1}^nb_j)$, but then I am unable to prove the latter converges to $AB$.
I don't have a clue as to how to approach this now. The square summation is already a headache since it has $n^2$ term instead of the standard $n$ terms in series.
Edit 1: This is the problem from the book. I hope my translation to latex is accurate. In addition, this is copied from the same book yet different version. But it still gets the gist.
Edit 2: The definition of absolute convergence by the book.


After working on new assumption, I yield the following solution.
\begin{align} \forall n\in\mathbb{N}s_{nn}&=(\sum_{i=1}^na_i)(\sum_{j=1}^nb_j)\\ \rightarrow \lim_{n\to\infty}s_{nn}&=\lim_{n\to\infty}(\sum_{i=1}^na_i)(\sum_{j=1}^nb_j)\\ &=(\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i)(\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}b_j)\\ &=AB \end{align}
Edit: Since no one objects, I will take it as my solution. :)
