Given $sum _{n=1}^{infty} left(frac{n^{2} + 1}{n^{2} +n +1}right)^{n^2}$, prove that it converges.



I tried to use the Ratio test.
I got a terrible algebraic expression: $$lim_{n to infty} frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = lim_{n to infty} left(frac{n^4 +2n^3 +3n^2 + 2n +2}{n^4 + 4n^3 + 7n^2 + 6n +3}right)cdot left(frac{n^2 + 2n + 2}{n^2 + 3n + 3}right)^{2n +1}$$



Now problem is I'm not allowed to use L'Hoptial and I don't really know what to do with this disaster.

Try the root criterion.



Prove that
$$sqrt[n]{left(frac{n^2+1}{n^2+n+1}right)^{n^2}}=left(1-frac{n}{n^2+n+1}right)^n$$
and that this tends to $L<1$ as $nto infty$. Then, the criterion implies that the sum converges.



To find the limit, remember that if $a_nto 0$ then
$$(1+a_n)^{frac1{a_n}}to e.$$



So
$$left(1-frac{n}{n^2+n+1}right)^n=left(1-frac{n}{n^2+n+1}right)^{left(-frac{n^2+n+1}{n}right)cdot left(-frac{n}{n^2+n+1}right)cdot n}=$$
$$=left[left(1-frac{n}{n^2+n+1}right)^{-frac{n^2+n+1}{n}}right]^{ left(-frac{n}{n^2+n+1}right)cdot n}.$$



But the bracketed expression is exactly of the form
$$(1+a_n)^{frac1{a_n}},quad a_nto 0,$$
so it tends to $e$. And the expression in the exponent clearly goes to $-1$, so the limit is $e^{-1}<1$.

Another approach using the Root test.



Let $L = lim_{ntoinfty} sqrt[n]{left(frac{n^2+1}{n^2+n+1}right)^{n^2}} $



$$ begin{align}
L &= lim_{ntoinfty} exp log sqrt[n]{left(frac{n^2+1}{n^2+n+1}right)^{n^2}} \
&= exp lim_{ntoinfty} frac{log left(left( frac{n^2+1}{n^2+n+1} right)^{n^2}right)}{n} \
&= exp lim_{ntoinfty} frac{n^2 log frac{n^2+1}{n^2+n+1}}{n} \
&= exp lim_{ntoinfty} n log frac{n^2+1}{n^2+n+1} tag{1} \
&= exp(-1) \
end{align}$$



and since $L = exp(-1) < 1$ the series is absolutely convergent by the root test.



* (1) can be shown by the fact that the Laurent expansion for $nlogfrac{n^2+1}{n^2+n+1}$ at $n=infty$ is $-1 + textrm{O}(frac{1}{n})$.

By Taylor's expansion we have



$$left(frac{n^{2} + 1}{n^{2} +n +1}right)^{n^2}=left(1-frac{n}{n^{2} +n +1}right)^{n^2}=e^{n^2 logleft(1-frac{n}{n^{2} +n +1}right)}=e^{n^2 left(frac{-n}{n^{2} +n +1}+O(1/n^2)right)}sim frac c{e^n}$$



and then refer to limit comparison test.

how did you come up to the the term exp(-1) from $n log {frac{n^2 +1}{n^2 + n +1}}$? that's exactly the problem

Laurent expansion is much higher level of mathematics then what i'm famiilair with, at this moment. this is of course a solid solution - but as I don't get it, I can't solve my problem using it...

By Taylor's expansion we have



$$left(frac{n^{2} + 1}{n^{2} +n +1}right)^{n^2}=left(1-frac{n}{n^{2} +n +1}right)^{n^2}=e^{n^2 logleft(1-frac{n}{n^{2} +n +1}right)}=e^{n^2 left(frac{-n}{n^{2} +n +1}+O(1/n^2)right)}sim frac c{e^n}$$



and then refer to limit comparison test.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Image
0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"
