This question already has an answer here:



  • Is $sum_n=1^inftyfrac(-1)^nnlog^2(n+1)$ absolutely convergent?

    3 answers



Problem



Let $S = sum_n=1^inftyfrac(-1)^nnlog^2(n+1)$.



Determine the series converges absolutely or conditionally.



Attempt



$S=sum_n=1^infty( -1)^n a_n$



$a_n$ is monotonically decreasing and it approaches zero when $n$ approaches infinity. So series is convergent .



Doubt



How to check for absolute convergence?



Ratio test fails here. Root test is of no use.
I have attempted comparison tests using the fact that $n>log(n)$, but no success there also.

One option is the condensation test, which says $sum_ngeq 1frac1n(log(n+1))^2$ converges if and only if $sum_ngeq 0frac2^n2^n(log (2^n+1))^2$ does.
