text‹The following document presents a proof of the Divergence of
Series theorem formalised in the Isabelle/Isar theorem
system.
\em Theorem:} The series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n}$ does not
to any number.
\em Informal Proof:}
The informal proof is based on the following auxillary lemmas: \begin{itemize} \item{aux: $\sum_{n=2^m-1}^{2^m} \frac{1}{n} \geq\frac{1}{2}$} \item{aux2: $\sum_{n=1}^{2^M} \frac{1}{n} = 1 + \sum_{m=1}^{M} \sum_{n=2^m-1}^{2^m} \frac{1}{n}$} \end{itemize}
From {\em aux} and {\em aux2} we can deduce that $\sum_{n=1}^{2^M} \frac{1}{n} \geq 1 + \frac{M}{2}$ for all $M$.
Now for contradiction, assume that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n}
= s$ for some $s$. Because $\forall n. \frac{1}{n} > 0$ all the
partial sums in the series must be less than $s$. However with our
deduction above we can choose $N > 2*s - 2$ and thus
$\sum_{n=1}^{2^N} \frac{1}{n} > s$. This leads to a contradiction
and hence $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n}$ is not summable.

lemma two_pow_sub: "0 < m ==> (2::nat)^m - 2^(m - 1) = 2^(m - 1)" by (induct m) auto
text‹We first prove the following auxillary lemma. This lemma
states that the finite sums: $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{1}{3} +
frac{1}{4}$, $\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{8}$
. are all greater than or equal to $\frac{1}{2}$. We do this by
that each term in the sum is greater than or equal to the
term, e.g. $\frac{1}{3} > \frac{1}{4}$ and thus $\frac{1}{3} +
frac{1}{4} > \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$.›
