SUMMARY
The series $\sum\limits_{n = 2}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(\ln n)^{\ln n}}$ converges. The transformation $\frac{1}{(\ln n)^{\ln n}} = \frac{1}{e^{\ln n \ln(\ln n)}}$ reveals that as \( n \) increases, \( \ln(\ln n) \) exceeds 2, leading to a rapid growth in the denominator. This growth ensures that the terms of the series approach zero sufficiently quickly, confirming convergence through the comparison test with a known convergent series.
