Functions of a Real Variable, chapter V, § 4. APPLICATION TO SERIES WITH POSITIVE TERMS

Let (un)(u_n) be a series with terms >0> 0 from a certain point on. If, from a certain point, one has

un+1un≤1−1n−1nl1(n)−…−1nl1(n)l2(n)…lp−1(n)−αnl1(n)l2(n)…lp(n) \frac{u_{n+1}}{u_n} \leq 1 - \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{nl_1(n)} - \ldots - \frac{1}{nl_1(n)l_2(n)\ldots l_{p-1}(n)} - \frac{\alpha}{nl_1(n)l_2(n)\ldots l_p(n)}

for some α>1\alpha > 1, then the series (un)(u_n) converges; if, from some point on, one has

un+1un≥1−1n−1nl1(n)−…−1nl1(n)l2(n)…lp(n) \frac{u_{n+1}}{u_n} \geq 1 - \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{nl_1(n)} - \ldots - \frac{1}{nl_1(n)l_2(n)\ldots l_p(n)}

then the series (un)(u_n) has an infinite sum.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
