Limit of an infinite series as limit of sequence of partial sums.

2k Views Asked by At

Why is the limit of an infinite series the same as limit of sequence of partial sums?

Context: I was solving a question to find the limit of an infinite series (real analysis). One method stated that it is equal to the limit of sequence of partial sums. I did not understand why.

Edit: sequence of partial sums

The value of a series (any series is generally defined as an addition of infinite terms, otherwise it will be a sum) is generally defined as the value of the limit (if exists) of the sequence defined by it partial sums, that is

$$\sum_{k=m}^\infty a_k:=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{k=m}^n a_k$$

Many mathematicians use the symbol "$:=$" to mean: the left hand side is defined to represent the right hand side.

Here $\sum_{k=m}^n a_k$ is a partial sum because the series is partially added up to just the $n$-th term.

If we set $x_n:=\sum_{k=m}^n a_k$ (observe the use of the symbol "$:=$") then the value of the series is equivalently defined to be the value (when it exists) of the sequence $\{x_n\}_{n\in\Bbb N}$[*].

[*] If $m> 0$ (if the series start with an index distinct of zero) then the sums of the kind $\sum_{k=m}^na_k$ are defined to have value zero when $n<m$. This is a convention called the empty sum.
