Divergent sequence and series

In Mathematics, a divergent sequence is an infinite sequence that is not convergent, meaning that we never find a greatest number in a sequence from which the whole sequence terms are smaller.

Divergent sequence


1. A sequence {aâ‚™} is said to diverge to ∞ if given k>0, however large, there exist a positive integer m (depending upon k) such that
              
we write it as
              

Divergent series
As shown in the figure we have taken aâ‚™ on y-axis and its subscript on x-axis. Let suppose that k is a very large number. If the sequence need to diverge, then we will always find a term in a sequence which is greater then k. Therefore the sequence diverge to +∞.

2. A sequence {aâ‚™} is said to diverge to -∞ if given k>0, however large, there exist a positive integer m (depending upon k) such that
             
we write it as
            
As shown in the figure we have taken aâ‚™ on y-axis and its subscript on x-axis. Let suppose that k is a very large number. If the sequence need to diverge, then we will always find a term in a sequence which is smallest  then -k. Therefore the sequence diverge to -∞.


Divergent series


The series ∑aâ‚™ is said to diverge to ∞ if the sequence {sâ‚™} diverge to ∞. We write 
                           .

The series ∑aâ‚™ is said to diverge to -∞ if the sequence {sâ‚™} diverge to -∞. We write
                           .
