Grandi's series is the divergent series
Its partial sums alternate between 1 and 0, so the series does not converge in the ordinary sense. The
arithmetic means of the partial
sums converge to 
, and the associated power series
satisfies
whose limit as 
is also 
. Thus Grandi's series is both Cesàro
summable and Abel summable to 
.
