SUMMARY
The discussion confirms that an infinite series of complex terms, denoted as \(\sum a_n\), which converges but not absolutely, can indeed be separated into its real and imaginary components. Specifically, it states that \(\sum a_n = \sum x_n + i\sum y_n\) holds true under these conditions. The convergence of the series is established through the convergence of the sequence of its partial sums, which applies to both real and imaginary parts of the series.
