α>1. Choose α′∈(1,α). Whatever the sign of β, (lnn)−β≤nα−α′ for large n (a power of lnn is negligible against a positive power of n). So un≤nα′1, and the series converges.
α<1. Choose α′∈(α,1). Whatever the sign of β, (lnn)β≤nα′−α for large n. So un≥nα′1, and the series diverges.
α=1. For β>0 the function x(lnx)β1 is positive and decreasing. With u=lnx,
∫2∞x(lnx)βdx=∫ln2∞uβdu,
finite iff β>1. Fix an integer n≥2. On [n:n+1], we have
(n+1)α(ln(n+1))β1≤f≤nα(lnn)β1.
Integrating on [N:N+1] gives
(n+1)α(ln(n+1))β1≤∫nn+1f(x)dx≤nα(lnn)β1.
Taking the sum from n=2 to yields
n≥2∑(n+1)α(ln(n+1))β1≤∫2=∞f(x)dx≤n=2∑+∞nα(lnn)β1.
Thus the serie ∑n≥2(n+1)α(ln(n+1))β1 and the integral ∫2+∞f(x)dx have the same nature.
For β≤0, n(lnn)β1≥n1 for n≥3: divergence.
Conclusion. The series converges iff α>1, or α=1 and β>1.
