infinite product Let be a sequence of numbers in or . If the limit
exists, it is called the infinite product of and denoted by
.
necessary condition for convergence of infinite products In order for the infinite product
of a sequence to exist and not to be zero, it is necessary that
.
Suppose that not . Then there exists and an infinite sequence such that for all we have . Thus, upon denoting
,
we will have
.
Suppose for a contradiction that exited and was equal to . Then when is sufficiently large, we will have
,
which is a contradiction.
series criterion for the convergence of infinite products Let be a sequence of real numbers. If
,
then
converges.
