Let be a sequence of complex numbers such that . Then:
Setting , we can assume without loss of generality that .
Let . Since , there exists such that:
For any , split the sum into two parts:
where is a fixed constant independent of .
Since , there exists such that:
Thus, for all :
For the second question, same reasoning.
As counterexamples, you can consider and .
Still, there are some converse results such as when the sequence / function is real and monotonous (or more generally if we already know that it has a limit - finite or not).
