For any positive decreasing to zero sequence $a_n$ such that $\sum a_n$ diverges we consider the related series $\sum k_na_n$ and $\sum j_na_n.$ Here, $k_n$ and $j_n$ are real sequences such that $k_n∈\{0,1\}$ and $j_n∈\{-1,1\}.$ We study their convergence and characterize it in terms of the density of 1's in the sequences $k_n$ and $j_n.$ We extend our results to series $\sum m_na_n,$ with $m_n∈\{-1,0,1\}$ and apply them to study some associated random series.

Keywords: Harmonic series, divergent series, subsums, signed sums, random series.
