Orlicz–Pettis theorem

In functional analysis, the Orlicz–Pettis theorem is a theorem about convergence in Banach spaces. It is named for Władysław Orlicz and Billy James Pettis.[1][2] The result was originally proven by Orlicz for weakly sequentially complete normed spaces.[3]

Orlicz–Pettis Theorem for Banach spaces

Let X be a Banach space and let \left\{ {{x}_{n}} \right\} be any sequence in X. If the series \sum{{{x}_{n}}} is weakly subseries convergent, then the series is actually subseries convergent in the norm topology of X.
