2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: suppose that \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) = \infty\) for a \(j_1 \in J_1\); Step 2: see that for each \(r\), there is an \(N'\) such that for each \(N' \lt n'\), \(r \lt \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} \sum_{j_1 \in J_1} s (j_1, j_2)\); Step 3: suppose that \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) \in \mathbb{R}\) for each \(j_1 \in J_1\); Step 4: see that for each \(r\), \(r + \epsilon \lt \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2)\), there is an \(N'\) such that for each \(N' \lt n'\), \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) - \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) \lt \epsilon / N\), and \(r \lt \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) = \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} s (j_1, j_2)\), and \(r \lt \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} \sum_{j_1 \in J_1} s (j_1, j_2)\).

Step 1:

Let us suppose that \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) = \infty\) for a \(j_1 \in J_1\).

Step 2:

Let \(r \in \mathbb{R}\) be any.

There is an \(N' \in \mathbb{N}\) such that for each \(n' \in \mathbb{N}\) such that \(N' \lt n'\), \(r \lt \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2)\).

As \(0 \le s (j_1, j_2)\) for each \(j_1 \in J_1\) and \(j_2 \in J_2\), \(s (j_1, j_2) \le \sum_{j_1 \in J_1} s (j_1, j_2)\) for each \(j_2 \in J_2\).

So, \(r \lt \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) \le \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} \sum_{j_1 \in J_1} s (j_1, j_2)\).

That means that \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} \sum_{j_1 \in J_1} s (j_1, j_2) = \infty\).

Step 3:

Let us suppose that \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) \in \mathbb{R}\) for each \(j_1 \in J_1\).

Step 4:

Let \(r \in \mathbb{R}\) be any.

Let \(\epsilon \in \mathbb{R}\) be any such that \(0 \lt \epsilon\).

There is an \(N \in \mathbb{N}\) such that \(r + \epsilon \lt \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2)\).

For each \(j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}\), there is an \(N'_{j_1} \in \mathbb{N}\) such that for each \(n' \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}\) such that \(N'_{j_1} \lt n'\), \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) - \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) \lt \epsilon / N\).

Let \(N' := Max (\{N'_{{J_1}_1}, ..., N'_{{J_1}_N}\})\).

For each \(n' \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}\) such that \(N' \lt n'\), \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) - \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) \lt \epsilon / N\) for each \(j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}\).

\(r + \epsilon \lt \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) = \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} (\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} s (j_1, j_2) - \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) + \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2)) \lt \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} (\epsilon / N + \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2)) = \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \epsilon / N + \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) = \epsilon + \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2)\).

But \(\sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) = \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} s (j_1, j_2)\), by the proposition that for any absolutely convergent double series on the \(1\)-dimensional Euclidean metric space, the series with the sums orders changed converge to the same convergence.

So, \(r \lt \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} s (j_1, j_2) = \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} \sum_{j_1 \in \{{J_1}_1, ..., {J_1}_N\}} s (j_1, j_2)\).

As \(0 \le s (j_1, j_2)\) for each \(j_1 \in J_1\) and \(j_2 \in J_2\), \(\le \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} \sum_{j_1 \in J_1} s (j_1, j_2)\).

So, \(r \lt \sum_{j_2 \in \{{J_2}_1, ..., {J_2}_{n'}\}} \sum_{j_1 \in J_1} s (j_1, j_2)\).

That means that \(\sum_{j_2 \in J_2} \sum_{j_1 \in J_1} s (j_1, j_2) = \infty\).
