Could you give me some hint how to deal with this series ?
I could not conclude about absolute convergence because
|sin(n+1n)|(lnn)2≤1(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=21n⋅1ln2n<∞
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 limx→∞f′(x)=−∞ therefore there is M>0 such that for N∋n>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=2sinn⋅cos1nln2n 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.
