calculus - Prove or disprove the converse of a proposition of test of convergence of series



We can see the fact that:



If a series n=1an converges then:



limn(an+an+1+···+an+r)=0




This is my proof:



limn(an+an+1+···+an+r)



=limnan+limnan+1+···+limnan+r



=0+0+...+0=0



Is it correct?




Also I want to ask:Does the converse of the implication holds:



That it: Does limn(an+an+1+···+an+r)=0
imply the series n=1an convergent?



Whether it is true or not. I am searching for a proof and a justification. Could someone help to prove or disprove the statement?



Thanks so much !


Answer



As long as r is finite, I believe your answer is correct. The converse is not true. Let's, for example, let an=1/n.
