real analysis - sumlimitsn=1inftyan converges iffsumlimitsn=1inftyank converges.




Let (an)nN a sequence,and let (ank)kN the sequence of all terms of (an) different than zero. Then n=1an convergesn=1ank converges



My approach to the proof:



Suppose n=1an converges, so for every ϵ>0 ,NN so that n,mN then |aman|<ϵ.
Let B=[jN|aj=0], so that an=ajai. Can I express n=1an as nBan+nBan



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=ni=1ai



For any given ε, let N be that integer such that for all p,qN,|SpSq|<ε. Either there exists a minimum K such that nKN (and then for all r,sK,|SnrSns|<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,sK,|SnrSns|<ε. We observe that for any n, Sn=Snr where r=maxnsns (since we are only adding a finite number of trailing zeros). Let N=nK. Then for any p,qN,|SpSq|=|SnrSns|<ε for some r,sK, and the first series is convergent.
