Convergence of the series sumlimitsin=3nfty(loglogn)loglogn



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, logkk, an inequality you can probably show, used for k=logn. Hence, for every n large enough, 1(loglogn)loglogn1n, and the series...





...diverges.
