Comparison Test

Theorem
Let $\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty b_n$ be a convergent series of positive real numbers.

Let $\sequence {a_n}$ be a sequence $\R$ or sequence in $\C$.

Let $\forall n \in \N_{>0}: \cmod {a_n} \le b_n$.

Then the series $\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty a_n$ converges absolutely.

Proof
Let $\epsilon > 0$.

As $\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty b_n$ converges, its tail tends to zero.

So:
 * $\ds \exists N: \forall n > N: \sum_{k \mathop = n + 1}^\infty b_k < \epsilon$

Let $\sequence {a_n}$ be the sequence of partial sums of $\ds \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty a_n$.

Then $\forall n > m > N$:

So $\sequence {a_n}$ is a Cauchy sequence.

The result follows from Real Number Line is Complete Metric Space or Complex Plane is Complete Metric Space.
