Weierstrass M-test
In mathematics, the Weierstrass M-test is an analogue of the comparison test for infinite series, and applies to a series whose terms are themselves functions of a real variable.
Suppose is a sequence of complex-valued functions defined on a subset , and that for some fixed positive integer N, there exist positive constants such that
for all and all . Suppose further that the series
converges. Then, the series
converges uniformly on . (See uniform convergence.)
A more general version of the Weierstrass M-test holds if the codomain of the functions is any Banach space, in which case the statement
may be replaced by
,
where is the norm afforded by the Banach space.
