alternating series test


The alternating series testMathworldPlanetmath, orthe Leibniz’s Theorem, states the following:

Theorem [1, 2]Let (an)n=1 be a non-negative, non-increasing sequenceor real numbers such that limnan=0.Then the infinite series n=1(-1)(n+1)an converges.

This test provides a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of an alternating seriesMathworldPlanetmath, since if n=1an converges then an0.

Example: The seriesk=11kdoes not converge, but the alternating seriesk=1(-1)k+11kconverges to ln(2).
