I came across an old question in the analysis course I am studying which goes like this:
Assume that (xn)n∈N is a sequence which converges to 0 in C. Is there always a sub sequence (xnk)n∈N such that the series ∑kxnk converges absolutely? If yes prove, if not give a counter example.
My first intuition looking at the questions is to that that the answer is yes, but I'm not really sure how to go about proving it. I know that in R if a sequence has a limit and converges, then every sub sequence has the same limit and converges as well. Thus given that the original sequence converges to 0 then each sub sequence must also converge to 0 and the sum of any of these sub sequences would also converge.
Is this correct or am I wrong from the start? Any help is appreaciated
Answer
Since xn converges towards zero, for every k there exists nk such that |xnk|<12k. ∑xnk converges absolutely.
