Shift rule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shift rule is a mathematical rule for sequences and series.


For sequences it states, if (an) is a sequences and converges to a number if and only if (an + N) also converges to the same number too.

For series it states, if the series {\Sigma^{\infty}_{n=1}}(a_{n}) converges to a number if and only if {\Sigma^{\infty}_{n=1}}(a_{n+N}) converges to the same number too.
