Suppose the sequence {cn} converges to zero. Prove ∑n≥0cn converges iff ∑k≥0(c2k+c2k+1) converges. Moreover, if the two series converge then they have the same limit.
I was thinking that if limn→∞cn≠0
Then the statement can't be true. Like the sequence
1,−1,1,−1,1,−1,⋯
So ∑k≥0(c2k+c2k+1)=0
which is convergent, but
∑n≥0cndoes not exists
So how could we prove under the assumption limn→∞cn=0? Many thanks~
Answer
If ∑∞n=0cn=a then we have Sn=n∑k=0ck→a.
So, n∑k=0(c2k+c2k+1)=S2n+1→a.
I'll let you handle the (slightly messier) other direction.
