a series related to harmonic series


The series

n=11nnn=n=11n1+1n (1)

is divergent.  In fact, since for every positive integer n, one has  2n>n,  i.e.  nn<2, any of the series satisfies

1nnn>12n.

Because the harmonic series and therefore also 112n diverges, the comparison testMathworldPlanetmath implies that the series (1) diverges.
