Definition:Basic Null Sequence

Definition
The sequences defined as:


 * $\sequence {\dfrac 1 {n^r} }_{n \mathop \in \N}$ for $r \in \R: r > 0$


 * $\sequence {\alpha^n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$ for $\alpha \in \C: \cmod {\alpha} < 1$

are known as the basic null sequences.

That they are actually null sequences is proved in:


 * Power of Reciprocal
 * Sequence of Powers of Number less than One
