Sign distribution and absolutely divergent series (Q1329216)

The character of some series of the type \(\sum_{n=1}^ \infty s_ n f(n)\) is studied, where \(f: [1,\infty[\to \mathbb{R}^ +\) is a decreasing convex function, such that \(\lim_{x\to\infty} f(x)=0\), \(\sum_{n=1}^ \infty f(n)= \infty\). The sign \(s_ n\in \{-1,1\}\) is chosen according some given laws. The result is applied to series generated by the function \(f(x; a,b,p)= [h(x; p)]^ b x^{-a}\), where \(h(x;p)= \log^ p (x+q)\).
