Let (an)n∈N a sequence,and let (ank)k∈N the sequence of all terms of (an) different than zero. Then ∞∑n=1an converges⟺∞∑n=1ank converges
My approach to the proof:
⇒ Suppose ∞∑n=1an converges, so for every ϵ>0 ,∃N∈N so that ∀n,m≥N then |am−an|<ϵ.
Let B=[j∈N|aj=0], so that an=aj∪ai. Can I express ∞∑n=1an as ∞∑n∉Ban+∞∑n∈Ban
I need some help proving this, it might be trivial but I'm having problems with notation. Any help will be appreciated.
Answer
Define the partial sums
Sn=n∑i=1ai
For any given ε, let N be that integer such that for all p,q≥N,|Sp−Sq|<ε. Either there exists a minimum K such that nK≥N (and then for all r,s≥K,|Snr−Sns|<ε and the second series is convergent), or else there does not exist such a minimum K, in which case the second series has a finite number of terms and is convergent.
ETA: Oh yes, the inverse. For any given ε, let K be that integer such that for all r,s≥K,|Snr−Sns|<ε. We observe that for any n, Sn=Snr where r=maxns≤ns (since we are only adding a finite number of trailing zeros). Let N=nK. Then for any p,q≥N,|Sp−Sq|=|Snr−Sns|<ε for some r,s≥K, and the first series is convergent.
