let put S_n = Σ_(k=n+1) ^(2n) (1/k^α ) S_n = (1/((n+1)^α )) +(1/((n+2)^α )) + ...+(1/((2n)^α )) =ξ_(2n) (α) −ξ_n (α) with ξ_n (x)=Σ_(k=1) ^n (1/k^x ) but lim_(n→∞) ξ_(2n) (α)=ξ(α) and lim_(n→∞) ξ_n (α)=ξ(α) ⇒ lim_(n→∞) S_n =0 anther method we have n+1 ≤ k≤ 2n ⇒ (1/(2n))≤ (1/k) ≤ (1/(n+1))≤ (1/n) ⇒ (1/((2n)^α )) ≤ (1/k^α ) ≤ (1/n^α ) ⇒ (n/((2n)^α )) ≤ Σ_(k=n+1) ^(2n) (1/k^α ) ≤ (n/n^α ) ⇒ (1/(2^α n^(α−1) )) ≤ S_n ≤ (1/n^(α−1) ) but α>1 ⇒ lim_(n→∞) (1/(2^α n^(α−1) )) =0 and lim_(n→∞) (1/n^(α−1) ) = 0 ⇒ lim_(n→∞) S_n =0
