Absolute convergence


A series is said to converge absolutely if the series made of the absolute values of each term also converges:

i=1xi converges absolutely if i=1xi also converges\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} x_{i}\text{ converges absolutely if }\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} |x_{i}|\text{ also converges}

The same definition can be extended to improper integrals:

0+f(x) dx converges absolutely if 0+f(x) dx also converges\int_{0}^{+\infty}f(x)\ dx\text{ converges absolutely if }\int_{0}^{+\infty}|f(x)|\ dx\text{ also converges}
