real analysis - Does the series sumin=2nftyfracsin(n+frac1n)(lnn)2 converge?



Could you give me some hint how to deal with this series ?




I could not conclude about absolute convergence because
|sin(n+1n)|(lnn)21(lnn)2
does not get me anywhere.



I tried to use the Dirichlet's test to prove convergence of this series:
n=2sin(n+1n)(lnn)2
but I could not prove that n=2sin(n+1n) are bounded.



Thanks.


Answer




sin(n+1n)=sinncos1n+sin1ncosn



Firstly n=2sin1ncosnln2n is absolutely convergent from comparison test, because



n=2|sin1ncosnln2n|n=21n1ln2n<



Convergence of last series follows for example from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%27s_condensation_test



Secondly observe, that function f(x)=cos1xln2x is decraising for big x because f(x)=lnxsin(1x)2xcos(1x)ln3x,




Easy to see that limxf(x)= therefore there is M>0 such that for Nn>M sequence (f(n))n>M is decraising and tends to 0. If we could show that |nk=1sink| is bounded, we would just apply Dirichlet test to show that n=2sinncos1nln2n diverges.



It's well known that nk=1sinka=sin(na2)sin((n+1)a2)sin(a2) (you can prove it f.e by complex numbers), so



|nk=1sink|1|sin12|.



To sum up: n=2sin(n+1n)ln2n converges as sum of two convergent series.
