Order Reversal under Reciprocals, and Summability of the Reciprocals of the Squares
lemmaAnalysislem:reciprocal-squares-bounded-2026aReciprocals reverse the order on the positive reals; the partial sums of the reciprocals of the squares are bounded by two, so that series converges; and a quadratic sum taken symmetrically about its centre is bounded independently of its length.
In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let be a positive real number and let . Convergence of a series of real numbers and its sum are as defined there. Then the following hold.
1. (Reciprocals reverse the order)¶ Let satisfy and . Then and exist, , and .
2. (Partial sums of the reciprocals of the squares)¶
3. (Summability)¶ The series converges, and
4. (A quadratic sum about its centre)¶ Let denote the natural number . Then
each summand being defined because its denominator is positive.
