I am studying the sets \(\displaystyle l^2\) ("little ell-two", being the square-summable series) and \(\displaystyle l^1\) ("little ell-one", being the summable series). \(\displaystyle l^1\) is into \(\displaystyle l^2\), and \(\displaystyle C\) (the group of all convergent series) intersects \(\displaystyle l^2\) including the part of it that contains \(\displaystyle l^1\). Given this Venn diagram, I am trying to find an example of a series for all the possibilities that there are.

The three possible cases to consider are:
1) A series which is convergent, summable, and square-summable.
2) A series which is convergent and square-summable, but not summable.
3) A series which is divergent and not summable, but square-summable.

My teacher said the harmonic series (being the sum, from n=1 to infinity, of 1/n) is an example of number ( 3). Can anyone help me finding examples for (1) and (2)? Especially for number (2), since I think I have already found an example for number (1).

Thanks everyone!

This is a very advanced question. Maybe it should be moved?
It is poorly posted. Are we to assume that the question is about Cearo summable series?
If so, what does squared-sumable serie meam? Abel sums?

Yes, I also think it should be moved. Can someone tell me how is this done or where exactly should I move it? Sorry it is my first post in this web and still have not seen everything.

Ok, maybe squared-sumable serie wasn't the apropiate term, the objects belonging to l^2 are squared-sumable sequences since l^2 is a sequence space.

So a sequence of complex numbers z=(z_1,z_2,...) is squared-sumable if the series consisting in the sum from 1 to infinity of (the absolute value of z_n)^2 converges to an element of l^2. You can check it more precisely in here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space#Second_example:_sequence_spaces.
Hence a sequence is sumable if the series consisting in the sum from 1 to infinity of the absolute value of z_n converges to an element of l^1.

square-summable

adj. (of a sequence) such that the series of the squares of its terms converges to a finite sum.

Thank you all very much the serie you mentioned is what i was looking for! :)
