Some generalizations of Olivier's theorem
Let be a convergent series of positive real numbers. L. Olivier proved that if the sequence is non-increasing, then . In the present paper: (a) We formulate and prove a necessary and sufficient condition for having ; Olivier’s theorem is a consequence of our Theorem . (b) We prove properties analogous to Olivier’s property when the usual convergence is replaced by the -convergence, that is a convergence according to an ideal of subsets of . Again, Olivier’s theorem is a consequence of our Theorem , when one takes as the ideal of all finite subsets of .
