Convergence
When to Use
Use this skill when working on convergence problems in real analysis.
Decision Tree
- •
Identify Sequence/Series Type
- •Geometric series: |r| < 1 converges
- •p-series: p > 1 converges
- •Alternating series: check decreasing + limit 0
- •
Apply Convergence Tests
- •Ratio test:
sympy_compute.py limit "a_{n+1}/a_n" - •Root test:
sympy_compute.py limit "a_n^(1/n)" - •Comparison test: find bounding series
- •Ratio test:
- •
Verify Bounds
- •Use
z3_solve.py provefor inequality bounds - •Check monotonicity with derivatives
- •Use
- •
Compute Sum (if convergent)
- •
sympy_compute.py sum "a_n" --var n --from 0 --to oo
- •
