Is there any rigorous way of proving this?
I tried using geometric series of ever diminishing ratio and noticing that 0 is always less than each term of the series, then 0 + 0 +...+ 0 +... must be always less than ## \frac{1 } {1-r} - 1 ##. (*)
Eventually, as r goes to 0 so does ## \frac{1 } {1-r} - 1 ##, so by (*) argument 0 + 0 +...+ 0 +... = 0.
But I don't know if my proof is rigorous enough...
I haven't found any proof of this by googling it so any help is appreciated.
