I would like to show that:
∞∑n=01(3n+1)(3n+2)=π3√3
We have:
∞∑n=01(3n+1)(3n+2)=∞∑n=013n+1−13n+2
I wanted to use the fact that arctan(√3)=π3 but arctan(x) can only be written as a power series when −1≤x≤1...
Answer
Regularized the series:
m∑n=01(3n+1)(3n+2)=m∑n=0(13n+1−13n+2)=m∑n=0∫10(x3n−x3n+1)dx=∫10((1−x3m+3)(1−x)1−x3)dx=∫101−x3m+31+x+x2dx
Now we can take the limit by dominating convergence theorem:
∞∑n=01(3n+1)(3n+2)=∫10dx1+x+x2=2√33arctan(2x+1√3)|10=π3√3
