Convergence Criteria

Convergence criteria are rules that help determine whether a series, sequence, or process is approaching a specific value or outcome as it progresses. In mathematics, for example, when looking at an infinite series, convergence criteria assess if the sum of the series settles to a finite limit. In broader contexts, such as economics or science, they can also refer to standards used to measure if different systems or groups are aligning towards a common goal or condition. Essentially, they help gauge consistency and reliability in various fields.
