The convergence Criteria ratio
Greetings all

I have a question regarding the convergence criteria ratio, abs(an+1/an) or the n√abs(an) when the limit tend to a value less than 1 does it mean the serie is convergent or absolutely convergent?

Thank you!

If the limit is less than 1, the series is absolutely convergent. It is only if the limit equals one that it might be convergent, but not absolutely convergent.
thank you!
