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, (\log\log n)^{\log\log n}\leqslant(\log n)^{\log\log n}=\exp((\log\log n)^2)\leqslant\exp(\log n)=n, provided, for every k large enough, \log k\leqslant\sqrt{k}, an inequality you can probably show, used for k=\log n. Hence, for every n large enough, \frac1{(\log\log n)^{\log\log n}}\geqslant\frac1n, and the series...




...diverges.
