Given a double-indexed real sequence $\{ x_{n,m}\}$, do we have

$ \limsup_{n} \sum_m x_{n,m} \leq \sum_m \limsup_{n} \, x_{n,m}$

$ \liminf_{n} \sum_m x_{n,m} \geq \sum_m \liminf_{n} \,x_{n,m}?$

I am not sure about these, and just have some guess based on how sup and sum commute.

Thanks in advance!

    What do we do if the series $\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}x_{n,m}$ is not convergent? (if the $x_{n,m}$ are not necessary nonnegative, the sequence $\{\sum_{m=0}^Nx_{n,m}\}$ may have no limit at all, even in $\overline{\mathbb R}$).2011-08-25

In the case where the sequences are nonegative, this is a consequence of the more general Fatou's Lemma.

    Eric, right, then x(n,m)=(-2^(m-n)) if m2011-08-25
