1. ## Power of sets

HI,
What is the power of the set of all sebsets of N on which the series ∑1/n converges to a limit smaller than 1.

Hey hedi.

What have you tried?

What exactly is meant by the expression "subsets of N on which the series ∑1/n converges".
Without knowing the indices of summation, it is total meaningless expression.
Therefore, you need to be as complete as possible in your reply.

what is the power of the set of all possible summation indices.I need a clue or direction for a solution.

Sorry but you reply means nothing to me.
Please, give us several examples you are considering.

For example,the set N in P(N) is not a member in our set (i.e the set that we want to find its cardinality),because the harmonic series diverges.The set of prime natural numbers may belongs because the series based on the prime indeces converges to a limit ,but i don't know if the limit is smaller than 1.

see in google: "harmonic series and its parts".

I think i solved it ,and the cardinality is the continuum ,that is,the cardinality of p(N).

That still is nonsense. Consider the subset of primes $K=\{2,3,5,7,11,13\}$
$\sum\limits_{x \in K} {{x^{ - 1}}} = {\text{1}}{\text{.40285}}$ see HERE
That finite sum is more than one so it won't do.
Any finite subset of at least two terms one of which is one will not do. Why?

Will the set $T=\{3^{-n}: n\in\mathbb{Z}^+\}$ do? Why or why not?
