Sums over residue classes #
We consider infinite sums over functions f on ℕ, restricted to a residue class mod m.
The main result is summable_indicator_mod_iff, which states that when f : ℕ → ℝ is
decreasing, then the sum over f restricted to any residue class
mod m ≠ 0 converges if and only if the sum over all of ℕ converges.
A sequence f with values in an additive topological group R is summable on the
residue class of k mod m if and only if f (m*n + k) is summable.
If f : ℕ → ℝ is decreasing and has a negative term, then f is not summable.
If f : ℕ → ℝ is decreasing and has a negative term, then f restricted to a residue
class is not summable.
If a decreasing sequence of real numbers is summable on one residue class
modulo m, then it is also summable on every other residue class mod m.
If f is a summable function on ℕ, and 0 < N, then we may compute ∑' n : ℕ, f n by
summing each residue class mod N separately.
