Show that $\left | \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\left(e^{ik} + \sin(\sqrt 2 k) + \cos(\sqrt 3 k)\right)^3}{k} \right| < 6$

I am trying to show the following sum is bounded: $$ \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\left(e^{ik} + \sin(\sqrt 2 k) + \cos(\sqrt 3 k)\right)^3}{k}$$ and to show that the magnitude $$\left | \sum_{k=1}^\infty \...

Tighter upper bound of $\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\frac{\tanh'(\cosh k)}{\cosh(\sin k)}$

How do I find tight upper bounds of $$S=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{\tanh'(\cosh k)}{\cosh(\sin k)}$$ ? The derivative of $\tanh$ is $\text{sech}^2$, so using $$S=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{1}{\cosh^2(\cosh ...

Infinite Sum of an Inverse Trig Expression

I am attempting to find either a closed form for the following infinite sum, or failing that, the value $p$ for which the sum converges to $2\pi$ (somewhere around $0.82$?). $$\sum_{i=1}^\infty \...

Divergence of $\lim_{N\to +\infty}[ \int_{1}^{N+1} f(x) dx -\sum_{n=1}^{N}f(n)] $

Divergence of $\lim_{N\to +\infty}[ \int_{1}^{N+1} f(x) dx -\sum_{n=1}^{N}f(n)] $ where $f(x)= sin(log_e x)(\frac{1}{x^{a}}-\frac{1}{x^{1-a}})$,$ 0<a<1/2$ My try - $\lim_{N\to +\infty}[ \int_{1}...

How to determine whether the sum ${\sum}_{k=1}^{\infty} {\sin(2^k)\over k}$ converges?

I saw a question on quora asking whether or not the sum ${\sum}_{k=0}^{\infty}{sin(2^k)\over n}$ is convergent. My opinion, and that of the other answers, is that Dirichlet's test could be used with {...

how do I show this :$\sum_{k=0}^{2n }\binom{2n}{k} \sin ((n-k)x)=0$ , for every real $x$ and for every integer $n$?

My attempt fails to show this formula $\sum_{k=0}^{2n }\binom{2n}{k} \sin ((n-k)x)=0$ which I have accrossed in my textbook, using induction proof, but I think by induction seems very hard, I want to ...

Determine convergence / divergence of $\sum \sin \frac{\pi}{n^2}$

Determine convergence / divergence of $$\sum \sin \frac{\pi}{n^2}$$ let $a_n= \sin \frac{\pi}{n^2}$ I attempted the integral test but on the interval $[1, \sqrt{2})$ it is increasing and ...

sum of exponential of cosine functions

I need to simplify this summation: $$\sum_{i=1}^N\sum_{j=1}^N \exp(A^2 \cos(\omega t+\theta_i)\cos(\omega t+\theta_j))$$ where $\theta_i=\frac{2\pi}{N}i$. Without the exponential function the terms ...

Error term in an infinite series

Well, I've the following series: $$\frac{1}{\left(1+\epsilon\cos\left(x\right)\right)^2}=\sum_{\text{k}=0}^\infty\epsilon^\text{k}\left(1+\text{k}\right)\cos^\text{k}\left(x\right)\tag1$$ This ...
