Question
Let [MATH](u_n)[/MATH] be a sequence of real numbers that satisfy the following properties:
Thoughts
There are 3 possible answers: every such [MATH]\sum u_n[/MATH] converges, every such [MATH]\sum u_n [/MATH] diverges, or both cases are possible.
The first one can be excluded, as [MATH](u_n)[/MATH] with [MATH]\forall n \in \mathbb{N}_{>1}: u_n=\frac{1}{n-1}[/MATH] is a diverging counter-example.
I was told that both cases were possible, but I've not been able to come up with a converging example.
Any ideas?
