Does the following series converges ? ∞∑n=1m√n!k√(2n)! for k,m∈N
I tried the ratio test:
limn→∞m√(n+1)!k√(2n+2)!⋅k√(2n)!m√n!=...=limn→∞(n+1)k−mmk(2(2n+1))1k
Now I should check for cases with m,k where the numerator is larger than the denominator and vice versa and when they're equal but it doesn't seem right...
Note: I can't use integration or Stirling approximation, nor Taylor.
Answer
If you look at the ratio you have and rewrite it slightly, you get
n1m−2k(1+1n)(k−m)/(mk)22/k(1+12n)1/k.
The fraction converges to
122/k<1,
so it depends on the behaviour of n1/m−2/k. If 1m>2k, the quotient tends to +∞, if 1m<2k, it tends to 0, and in the case of equality, it tends to 2−2/k∈(0,1).
So by the ratio test, the series converges if and only if k⩽2m.
