If, on the other hand, the series is infinite, then its convergence cannot be conditional, due to the assumption that min ( E ⁡ [ X + ] , E ⁡ [ X − ] ) < ∞ . {\displaystyle \min(\operatorname {E} [X_{+}],\operatorname {E} [X_{-}])<\infty .} The series converges absolutely if both E ⁡ [ X + ] {\displaystyle \operatorname {E} [X_{+}]} and E ⁡ [ X − ] {\displaystyle \operatorname {E} [X_{-}]} are finite, and diverges to an infinity when either E ⁡ [ X + ] {\displaystyle \operatorname {E} [X_{+}]} or E ⁡ [ X − ] {\displaystyle \operatorname {E} [X_{-}]} is infinite. In both scenarios, the above summations may be exchanged without affecting the sum.
