Let A be a PI‐algebra over a field of characteristic zero. Here, we prove that if A is an associative algebra, then the sequence of codimensionsc n ( A ) , n = 1 , 2 , … of A is eventually non‐decreasing. As a consequence, we get thatlim n → ∞log n ( c n ( A ) / exp ( A ) n )exists and is an integer or a half‐integer, where exp ( A ) is the PI‐exponent of A . For the non‐associative case, we construct a non‐associative PI‐algebra B whose sequence of codimensions is not eventually non‐decreasing.
