Homework Statement
Given the infinite series, [tex]\sum[/tex] n=1 to [tex]\infty[/tex] of sin(nx)/n^(s) is convergent for 0 < s <= 1.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Let f_n(x) = sin(nx) and g_n(x) = 1/n^(s)
i.) lim n-> [tex]\infty[/tex] f_n = 0
I'm not sure how to show this formally. Specifically, for a sequence instead of a function.
ii.) [tex]\sum[/tex] |g_(n+1) - g_n| converges.
Or this either.
iii.) [tex]\sum[/tex] g_n, its partial sums are uniformly bounded.
[tex]\sum[/tex] |g_(n+1) - g_n| = (g_1 - g_2) + (g_2 - g_3) + ... + (g_n - g_(n+1) = g_1 - g_(n+1). Lim n->infinity [tex]\sum[/tex] |g_(n+1) - g_n|= lim n->infinity (g_1 - g_(n+1)) = g_1. Therefore the partial sums are bounded, so [tex]\sum[/tex] n=1 to [tex]\infty[/tex] of sin(nx)/n^(s) is convergent for 0 < s <= 1.
