Let $a_n =frac (-1)^n(1+n)^0.5$ and let $c_n = ∑a_k a_n-k$



Then will $sum^infty _n=0 c_n$ be converge?



If $sum^infty _n=0 a_n$ converged absolutely I could say that the sequence $sum^infty _n=0 c_n$ .



But in this case I have no idea how to solve it.

  • i think in case of $c_n = ∑a_k a_n-k$, $ n ge k$. and as $a_k$ some constant it doesn make any change to nature of series.

We have that



$$c_n = sum_k=0^n a_k a_n-k=c_n = sum_k=0^n frac (-1)^k(-1)^n-k(1+k)^0.5(1+n-k)^0.5= sum_k=0^n frac (-1)^n(1+n+nk-k^2)^0.5not to 0$$



indeed for $n$ even



$$sum_j=-frac n2^frac n2 frac 1(1+n+n(j+n/2)-(j+n/2)^2)^0.5=sum_j=-frac n2^frac n2 frac 1(1+n+nj+n^2/2-j^2-nj-n^2/4)^0.5=sum_j=-frac n2^frac n2 frac 1(1+n+n^2/4-j^2)^0.5=2sum_j=0^frac n2 frac 1(1+n+n^2/4-j^2)^0.5neq 0$$



and therefore $sum^infty _n=0 c_n$ does not converge.
