Comparison Test

A convergence test which compares the series under consideration to a known series. Essentially, the test determines whether a series is "better" than a "good" series or "worse" than a "bad" series. The "good" or "bad" series is often a p-series.

If ∑ an , ∑ cn , and ∑ dn are all positive series, where ∑ cn converges and ∑ dn diverges, then:

1. If ancn for all nN for some fixed N, then ∑ an converges.

2. If andn for all nN for some fixed N, then ∑ an diverges.
