Proving the Partial Bound Question for Convergent Series An and Bn

In summary, the Partial Bound Question for Convergent Series An and Bn is a mathematical problem that asks whether there exists a constant M such that the partial sums of both series are bounded by M. It has applications in various fields of mathematics and can be proved using techniques such as the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and the convergence of geometric series. There are known counterexamples, such as the series An = (-1)^n/sqrt(n) and Bn = (-1)^n/n. Possible extensions include studying other types of series and extending to higher dimensions.

i am given with a series called An
and series Bn which from a certain place has the same members as An?

prove or disprove that every partial bound of bn is also a partial bound of An

??

i know that if a series is converges then
lim inf An=lim sup An

is that helps?

how to prove it mathmaticly??
