''for uniform convergence of series of functions''

If a sequence of real-valued functions  $  a _ {n} ( x) $, 
$  n = 1, 2 \dots $
is monotone for every  $  x \in E $, 
where  $  E $
is a certain set, and converges uniformly to zero on  $  E $, 
and if the sequence of partial sums of a series  $  \sum _ {n = 1 }   ^  \infty  b _ {n} ( x) $
is bounded on  $  E $(
the functions  $  b _ {n} ( x) $
may take complex values), then the series  $  \sum _ {n = 1 }   ^  \infty  a _ {n} ( x) b _ {n} ( x) $
converges uniformly on  $  E $.

This criterion was established by G.H. Hardy [[#References|[1]]].

This criterion can be proved using the [[Euler–MacLaurin formula|Euler–MacLaurin formula]] (cf. the proof of Thm. 3.42 in [[#References|[a1]]]).
