Weierstrass M-test

A comparison test giving uniform convergence of a series of functions from an absolutely convergent numerical majorant.
Weierstrass M-test

Weierstrass M-test: Let EE be a set and let fn:ERf_n:E\to\mathbb{R} (or C\mathbb{C}) be functions. Assume there exist numbers Mn0M_n\ge 0 such that

fn(x)Mnfor all xE and all n, |f_n(x)|\le M_n \quad \text{for all }x\in E\text{ and all }n,

and the numerical series n=1Mn\sum_{n=1}^\infty M_n is a . Then the n=1fn\sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n converges on EE. Moreover, for each xEx\in E the series n=1fn(x)\sum_{n=1}^\infty |f_n(x)| converges.

This is a standard sufficient condition for uniform convergence, phrased in terms of bounding the tails of the by an ordinary numerical series.
