Apr 17, 2023 at 7:58 comment added Валерий Заподовников In 13.2 mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/261428/82985 is fixed, so you can now IMHO replace ClassicLimit with DiscreteLimit[(1 - Log[n]/n)^(2 n), n -> \[Infinity]]
Aug 24, 2022 at 18:52 comment added Валерий Заподовников BTW, you cannot use Assumptions on -> variable. It prints a warning even in 13.1 on Limit[(1 - Log[n]/n)^(2 n), n -> ∞, Assumptions -> n ∈ Integers]. That only works on ClassicLimit, but even then DiscreteLimit is better, but not always, see mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/261428/82985
May 31, 2022 at 23:13 comment added Greg Hurst I would imagine so. Though I don't know the prerequisites to allow the tag.
May 28, 2022 at 13:19 comment added Валерий Заподовников Can we have a bug header for this and a separate bug for RaabeTest bug mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/224072/82985?
Dec 19, 2021 at 4:41 comment added Валерий Заподовников Another example that this hack works on is Cos[n] x^n. It returns false... See mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/215363/82985
Dec 7, 2021 at 11:44 comment added Валерий Заподовников Do you have any idea what causes RaabeTest to fail for 1 - Cos[Pi/n]? Limit hack does not work there. I think it cannot confirm it is positive sequence, since that is needed for Raabe.

Dec 6, 2021 at 16:05 comment added user64494 Thank you. BTW, Asymptotics ` ClassicLimit[(1 - Log[n]/n)^(2 n), n -> [Infinity]] returns 0. Indeed, the documentation says SumConvergence was not updated since 2010.
Dec 6, 2021 at 15:33 comment added Greg Hurst ‘SumConvergence’ uses that ‘ClassicLimit’ function instead of ‘Limit’. ‘ClassicLimit’ is returning 1 for that limit and so ‘SumConvergence’ thinks the sum is divergent. Forcing ‘SumConvergence’ to use ‘Limit’ instead of ‘ClassicLimit’ fixes this issue.
Dec 6, 2021 at 14:58 comment added user64494 The condition $\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n=0$ is only a necessary condition for the convergence of a series. There are both convergent series and divergent series which satisfy it.
Dec 6, 2021 at 14:02 comment added user64494 Can you kindly elaborate your post to make it understandable? TIA.
