   Subject: Generalized series in a normed space

   Hello,

   Before asking my question I'll give the definition of a
   convergence of a generalized series in a normed space.

   The generalized series Sum_i(x_i), i in some index set I, is
   said to converge to x in a normed space X, notation x = Sum_i(x_i),
   if for every e > 0 there exist finite subset I_0 of I such that
   for every finite superset J of I_0

   || x - Sum_(i in J)(x_i) || < e

   Where can I find a proof that this definition is equivalent to:

   x = Sum_i(x_i) if and only if
   for every e > 0 there exist finite I_0 such that for all finite J
   with I_0 /\ J = empty, || Sum_(i in J)(x_i) || < e

   First definition is suggestive and intuitively very natural.
   I'm trying unsuccessfully to show its equivalence to the second.
   Thank you for your help.

   Alex
