In [[mathematics]], the '''integral test for convergence''' is a [[convergence tests|method used to test]] infinite [[series (mathematics)|series]] of [[non-negative]] terms for [[convergent series|convergence]]. It was developed by [[Colin Maclaurin]] and [[Augustin-Louis Cauchy]] and is sometimes known as the Maclaurin–Cauchy test.

Consider an [[integer]] {{math|''N''}} and a non-negative function {{math|''f''}} defined on the unbounded [[interval (mathematics)|interval]] {{closed-open|''N'', ∞}}, on which it is [[monotone decreasing]]. Then the infinite series
 
:<math>\sum_{n=N}^\infty f(n)</math>
 
converges to a [[real number]] if and only if the [[improper integral]]
 
:<math>\int_N^\infty f(x)\,dx</math>
 
is finite. In other words, if the integral diverges, then the [[divergent series|series diverges]] as well.
 
===Remark===
The proof also gives the [[upper and lower bounds|lower and upper bounds]]
 
:<math>\int_N^\infty f(x)\,dx\le\sum_{n=N}^\infty f(n)\le f(N)+\int_N^\infty f(x)\,dx</math> 
 
for the infinite series.
 
==Proof==
The proof basically uses the [[comparison test]], comparing the term {{math|''f''(''n'')}} with the integral of {{math|''f''}} over the intervals
{{closed-open|''n'' − 1, ''n''}} and {{closed-open|''n'', ''n'' + 1}}, respectively.
 
Since {{math|''f''}} is a monotone decreasing function, we know that
 
:<math>
f(x)\le f(n)\quad\text{for all }x\in[n,\infty)
</math>
 
and
 
:<math>
f(n)\le f(x)\quad\text{for all }x\in[N,n].
</math>
 
Hence, for every integer {{math|''n'' ≥ ''N''}},
 
{{NumBlk|:|<math>
\int_n^{n+1} f(x)\,dx
\le\int_{n}^{n+1} f(n)\,dx
=f(n)</math>|{{EquationRef|1}}}}
 
and, for every integer {{math|''n'' ≥ ''N'' + 1}},
 
{{NumBlk|:|<math>
f(n)=\int_{n-1}^{n} f(n)\,dx
\le\int_{n-1}^n f(x)\,dx.
</math>|{{EquationRef|2}}}}
 
By summation over all {{math|''n''}} from {{math|''N''}} to some larger integer {{math|''M''}}, we get from ({{EquationNote|1}})
 
:<math>
\int_N^{M+1}f(x)\,dx=\sum_{n=N}^M\underbrace{\int_n^{n+1}f(x)\,dx}_{\le\,f(n)}\le\sum_{n=N}^Mf(n)
</math>
 
and from ({{EquationNote|2}})
 
:<math>
\sum_{n=N}^Mf(n)\le f(N)+\sum_{n=N+1}^M\underbrace{\int_{n-1}^n f(x)\,dx}_{\ge\,f(n)}=f(N)+\int_N^M f(x)\,dx.
</math>
 
Combining these two estimates yields
 
:<math>\int_N^{M+1}f(x)\,dx\le\sum_{n=N}^Mf(n)\le f(N)+\int_N^M f(x)\,dx.</math> 
 
Letting {{math|''M''}} tend to infinity, the result follows.
 
==Applications==
The [[harmonic series (mathematics)|harmonic series]]
:<math>
\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac1n
</math>
diverges because, using the [[natural logarithm]], its [[derivative]], and the [[fundamental theorem of calculus]], we get
:<math>
\int_1^M\frac1x\,dx=\ln x\Bigr|_1^M=\ln M\to\infty
\quad\text{for }M\to\infty.
</math>
Contrary, the series
:<math>
\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac1{n^{1+\varepsilon}}
</math>
(cf. [[Riemann zeta function]])
converges for every {{math|''ε'' > 0}}, because by the [[power rule]]
:<math>
\int_1^M\frac1{x^{1+\varepsilon}}\,dx
=-\frac1{\varepsilon x^\varepsilon}\biggr|_1^M=
\frac1\varepsilon\Bigl(1-\frac1{M^\varepsilon}\Bigr)
\le\frac1\varepsilon<\infty
\quad\text{for all }M\ge1.
</math>
 
==Borderline between divergence and convergence==
The above examples involving the harmonic series raise the question, whether there are monotone sequences such that {{math|''f''(''n'')}} decreases to 0 faster than {{math|1/''n''}} but slower than {{math|1/''n''<sup>1+''ε''</sup>}} in the sense that
:<math>
\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(n)}{1/n}=0
\quad\text{and}\quad
\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(n)}{1/n^{1+\varepsilon}}=\infty
</math>
for every {{math|''ε'' > 0}}, and whether the corresponding series of the {{math|''f''(''n'')}} still diverges. Once such a sequence is found, a similar question can be asked with {{math|''f''(''n'')}} taking the role of {{math|1/''n''}}, and so on. In this way it is possible to investigate the borderline between divergence and convergence of infinite series.
 
Using the integral test for convergence, one can show (see below) that, for every [[natural number]] {{math|''k''}}, the series
{{NumBlk|:|<math>
\sum_{n=N_k}^\infty\frac1{n\ln(n)\ln_2(n)\cdots \ln_{k-1}(n)\ln_k(n)}
</math>|{{EquationRef|3}}}}
still diverges (cf. [[proof that the sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges]] for {{math|''k'' {{=}} 1}}) but
{{NumBlk|:|<math>
\sum_{n=N_k}^\infty\frac1{n\ln(n)\ln_2(n)\cdots\ln_{k-1}(n)(\ln_k(n))^{1+\varepsilon}}
</math>|{{EquationRef|4}}}}
converges for every {{math|''ε'' > 0}}. Here {{math|ln<sub>''k''</sub>}} denotes the {{math|''k''}}-fold [[function composition|composition]] of the natural logarithm defined [[recursion|recursively]] by
:<math>
\ln_k(x)=
\begin{cases}
\ln(x)&\text{for }k=1,\\
\ln(\ln_{k-1}(x))&\text{for }k\ge2.
\end{cases}
</math>
Furthermore, {{math|''N''<sub>''k''</sub>}} denotes the smallest natural number such that the {{math|''k''}}-fold composition is well-defined and {{math|ln<sub>''k''</sub>(''N''<sub>''k''</sub>) ≥ 1}}, i.e.
:<math>
N_k\ge \underbrace{e^{e^{\cdot^{\cdot^{e}}}}}_{k\ e'\text{s}}=e \uparrow\uparrow k
</math>
using [[tetration]] or [[Knuth's up-arrow notation]].
 
To see the divergence of the series ({{EquationNote|3}}) using the integral test, note that by repeated application of the [[chain rule]]
:<math>
\frac{d}{dx}\ln_{k+1}(x)
=\frac{d}{dx}\ln(\ln_k(x))
=\frac1{\ln_k(x)}\frac{d}{dx}\ln_k(x)
=\cdots
=\frac1{x\ln(x)\cdots\ln_k(x)},
</math>
hence
:<math>
\int_{N_k}^\infty\frac{dx}{x\ln(x)\cdots\ln_k(x)}
=\ln_{k+1}(x)\bigr|_{N_k}^\infty=\infty.
</math>
To see the convergence of the series ({{EquationNote|4}}), note that by the [[power rule]], the chain rule and the above result
:<math>
-\frac{d}{dx}\frac1{\varepsilon(\ln_k(x))^\varepsilon}
=\frac1{(\ln_k(x))^{1+\varepsilon}}\frac{d}{dx}\ln_k(x)
=\cdots
=\frac{1}{x\ln(x)\cdots\ln_{k-1}(x)(\ln_k(x))^{1+\varepsilon}},
</math>
hence
:<math>
\int_{N_k}^\infty\frac{dx}{x\ln(x)\cdots\ln_{k-1}(x)(\ln_k(x))^{1+\varepsilon}}
=-\frac1{\varepsilon(\ln_k(x))^\varepsilon}\biggr|_{N_k}^\infty<\infty.
</math>
