Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the convergence of a modified harmonic series where terms with a denominator containing the digit 9 are omitted. Participants seek a proof for the convergence of this series. There is a suggestion to search for similar threads for insights, indicating that this topic may have been previously explored. One contributor recalls having previously proved the result, hinting at a potential solution. The conversation reflects a blend of inquiry and shared knowledge on the topic of series convergence.

In the harmonic series 1+1/2+1/3+1/4+... we omit expressions which contain digit 9 in denominator (so we omit e.g. 1/9, 1/19, 1/94, 1/893, 1/6743090 etc.). Proof that such series is convergent.

Have You got any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot for help

I'd forgotten I'd proved this result... I didn't check the dates, but is it exactly one year on? Same course, same homework different year?
