In mathematics, the infinite series , also written : is sometimes called Grandi's series, after Italian mathematician, philosopher, and priest Guido Grandi, who gave a memorable treatment of the series in 1703. It is a divergent series, meaning that it lacks a sum in the usual sense. On the other hand, its Cesàro sum is 1/2. ==Proof through integration== To prove using integration, first we consider the indefinite integral of with respect to for any function by repeating integration by parts, with and : Here, is the constant of integration. By letting or , we will get a result relevant to solving the Grandi series : We can also evaluate the integral using integration by parts with and . We treat the integral as a function and realize that we have the same integral on both sides of the equation and add to both sides and divide by two. Symbolically: Comparing the results of evaluating the integral using both methods and thus . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grandi's series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
