Abstract:
A series $\sum {{a_n}}$ of nonnegative real numbers is determined up to a constant multiple by the comparisons of its subsums, provided that ${a_i} \leqslant \sum \nolimits _{i > n} {{a_i}}$ and $\{ {a_n}\}$ decreases to $0$. This characterization is an improvement of Leth and Malitz’s results.References
