application of Cauchy criterion for convergence
Without using the methods of the entry determining series convergence, we show that the real-term series
is convergent by using Cauchy criterion for convergence, being in in equipped with the usual absolute value
as http://planetmath.org/node/1604norm.
Let be an arbitrary positive number. For any positive integer , we have
whence we can as follows.
The last inequality is true for all positive integers , when . Thus the Cauchy criterion implies that the series converges.
