I am trying to test the convergence of this series from exercise 8.15(j) in Mathematical Analysis by Apostol:
∞∑n=31(loglogn)loglogn
I tried every kind of test. I know it should be possible to use the comparison test but I have no idea on how to proceed. Could you just give me a hint?
Answer
Note that, for every n large enough, (loglogn)loglogn⩽(logn)loglogn=exp((loglogn)2)⩽exp(logn)=n, provided, for every k large enough, logk⩽√k, an inequality you can probably show, used for k=logn. Hence, for every n large enough, 1(loglogn)loglogn⩾1n, and the series...
...diverges.
