Question Number 134060 by benjo_mathlover last updated on 27/Feb/21

If p>1 and q>1 what can be  said about the convergence   of Σ_(n=2) ^∞  (1/(n^p .(ln n)^q )) ?  (a) always converges  (b) always diverges  (c) may converges or diverges

cauchy density test.     Σ_(k=1) ^∞ 2^k (1/(2^(kp) (ln2)^q k^q ))=(1/((ln2)^q ))Σ_(k=1) ^∞ (1/(2^(k(p−1)) k^q ))  Σ_(k=1) ((1/2^(p−1) ))^k ((1/k))^q   ...for (p>1,  q>1) is convergent

$${cauchy}\:{density}\:{test}. \\ $$ $$\:\:\:\underset{{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\mathrm{2}^{{k}} \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}^{{kp}} \left({ln}\mathrm{2}\right)^{{q}} {k}^{{q}} }=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\left({ln}\mathrm{2}\right)^{{q}} }\underset{{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}^{{k}\left({p}−\mathrm{1}\right)} {k}^{{q}} } \\ $$ $$\underset{{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\sum}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}^{{p}−\mathrm{1}} }\right)^{{k}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{k}}\right)^{{q}} \:\:...{for}\:\left({p}>\mathrm{1},\:\:{q}>\mathrm{1}\right)\:{is}\:{convergent} \\ $$

the sequence u_n =(1/(n^p (logn)^q )) decreaze to0  the serie have nature[of  ∫_e ^∞  (dt/(t^p (logt)^q ))  =_(logt =u)    ∫_1 ^∞  ((e^u  du)/(e^(pu) u^q )) =∫_1 ^∞  e^((1−p)u)  (du/u^q )  we have lim_(u→+∞) u^2  (e^(−(p−1)u) /u^q ) =lim_(u→+∞)   u^(2−q)  e^(−(p−1)u)  =0 ⇒  the integral is convergent ⇒the serie is cv.

$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{sequence}\:\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{n}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{p}} \left(\mathrm{logn}\right)^{\mathrm{q}} }\:\mathrm{decreaze}\:\mathrm{to0}\:\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{serie}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{nature}\left[\mathrm{of}\right. \\ $$ $$\int_{\mathrm{e}} ^{\infty} \:\frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{t}^{\mathrm{p}} \left(\mathrm{logt}\right)^{\mathrm{q}} }\:\:=_{\mathrm{logt}\:=\mathrm{u}} \:\:\:\int_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\infty} \:\frac{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{u}} \:\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{pu}} \mathrm{u}^{\mathrm{q}} }\:=\int_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\infty} \:\mathrm{e}^{\left(\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{p}\right)\mathrm{u}} \:\frac{\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{u}^{\mathrm{q}} } \\ $$ $$\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{lim}_{\mathrm{u}\rightarrow+\infty} \mathrm{u}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\frac{\mathrm{e}^{−\left(\mathrm{p}−\mathrm{1}\right)\mathrm{u}} }{\mathrm{u}^{\mathrm{q}} }\:=\mathrm{lim}_{\mathrm{u}\rightarrow+\infty} \:\:\mathrm{u}^{\mathrm{2}−\mathrm{q}} \:\mathrm{e}^{−\left(\mathrm{p}−\mathrm{1}\right)\mathrm{u}} \:=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$ $$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{integral}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{convergent}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{serie}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{cv}. \\ $$
