calculus - Convergence of suminftyn=1fracsqrt[m]n!sqrt[k](2n)!




Does the following series converges ? n=1mn!k(2n)! for  k,mN




I tried the ratio test:




limnm(n+1)!k(2n+2)!k(2n)!mn!=...=limn(n+1)kmmk(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



n1m2k(1+1n)(km)/(mk)22/k(1+12n)1/k.




The fraction converges to



122/k<1,



so it depends on the behaviour of n1/m2/k. If 1m>2k, the quotient tends to +, if 1m<2k, it tends to 0, and in the case of equality, it tends to 22/k(0,1).



So by the ratio test, the series converges if and only if k2m.
