The radius of convergence of the power series
Given number:
$$\left(-1\right)^{n} \log{\left(\frac{n}{n + 1} \right)}$$
It is a series of species
$$a_{n} \left(c x - x_{0}\right)^{d n}$$
- power series.
The radius of convergence of a power series can be calculated by the formula:
$$R^{d} = \frac{x_{0} + \lim_{n \to \infty} \left|{\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n + 1}}}\right|}{c}$$
In this case
$$a_{n} = \log{\left(\frac{n}{n + 1} \right)}$$
and
$$x_{0} = 1$$
,
$$d = 1$$
,
$$c = 0$$
then
$$R = \tilde{\infty} \left(1 + \lim_{n \to \infty}\left(\frac{\log{\left(\frac{n}{n + 1} \right)}}{\log{\left(\frac{n + 1}{n + 2} \right)}}\right)\right)$$
Let's take the limit
we find
