sequences and series - Convergence of sumkinmathbbNleft(fraclambdakk!right)n



We know that kNλkk!=eλ. I'm interested in the convergence of S(n)=kN(λkk!)n


for some value of n.
The series general term ak=(λkk!)n converges for k1. Applying the comparison test of this series with exponential series
limk+(λkk!)nλkk!=0

, we may conclude that the sequence converges; i.e. the series converges.
Numerically i tested the behavior for n+ of S(n) and the series converges to 2.


Now, if there is no mistake in what I wrote before, I wan't to know if there is any way to calculate the value of convergence S? Is there any relation between S and e or eλ?


Answer



Let
S(n)(λ)=k=0λnk(k!)n.


Then
limnS(n)(λ)={0if 0λ<1,2if 0λ=1,if λ>1.

Let's prove it. If 0λ<1 then
1S(n)(λ)=1+k=1λnk(k!)n1+k=1λnk=1+λn1λn.

If λ>1 then
S(n)(λ)1+λn.

Finally, since k!2k if k4, we have
2S(n)(1)2+12n+16n+k=412nk=2+12n+16n+24n12n.
