  2. L'Hôpital's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Hôpital's_rule

    In this case, L'Hopital's theorem is actually a consequence of Cesàro–Stolz. [ 9 ] In the case when | g ( x )| diverges to infinity as x approaches c and f ( x ) converges to a finite limit at c , then L'Hôpital's rule would be applicable, but not absolutely necessary, since basic limit calculus will show that the limit of f ( x )/ g ( x ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

    The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares.It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences. [2]

  4. Limit of a sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_sequence

    In mathematics, the limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of a sequence "tend to", and is often denoted using the symbol (e.g., ). [1] If such a limit exists and is finite, the sequence is called convergent . [ 2 ]

  5. Limit (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(mathematics)

    On one hand, the limit as n approaches infinity of a sequence {a n} is simply the limit at infinity of a function a(n) —defined on the natural numbers {n}. On the other hand, if X is the domain of a function f ( x ) and if the limit as n approaches infinity of f ( x n ) is L for every arbitrary sequence of points { x n } in X − x 0 which ...

  6. Stolz–Cesàro theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolz–Cesàro_theorem

    Assume that () is a strictly monotone and divergent sequence (i.e. strictly increasing and approaching +, or strictly decreasing and approaching ) and the following limit exists: lim n → ∞ a n + 1 − a n b n + 1 − b n = l .

  7. Monotone convergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_convergence_theorem

    The theorem states that if you have an infinite matrix of non-negative real numbers , such that the rows are weakly increasing and each is bounded , where the bounds are summable < then, for each column, the non decreasing column sums , are bounded hence convergent, and the limit of the column sums is equal to the sum of the "limit column ...

  8. Set-theoretic limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic_limit

    In mathematics, the limit of a sequence of sets,, … (subsets of a common set ) is a set whose elements are determined by the sequence in either of two equivalent ways: (1) by upper and lower bounds on the sequence that converge monotonically to the same set (analogous to convergence of real-valued sequences) and (2) by convergence of a sequence of indicator functions which are themselves ...

  9. List of limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_limits

    In general, any infinite series is the limit of its partial sums. For example, an analytic function is the limit of its Taylor series, within its radius of convergence. = =. This is known as the harmonic series. [6]
