Convergence of $int_1^2 frac{1}{sqrt ln x} mathrm { d}x$ by Asymptotic Comparison Test.












1












$begingroup$


According to the material I have,

If $f:[a,b)to mathbb{R} ,bin mathbb{R},fgeq0 $

Then:
i) If $f$ is an infinite function of real order $alphalt1$ with respect to $frac {1}{x-b}$ $implies$ $int_a^bf(x)mathrm { d}xltinfty$
ii) If $f$ is an infinite function of real order $alphageq1$ with respect to $frac {1}{x-b}$ $implies$ $int_a^bf(x)mathrm { d}x=infty$

Based on this information I am trying to evaluate the convergence of $int_1^2 frac{1}{sqrt ln x} mathrm { d}x$

In order to determine the order of my function I consider $$lim_{xto1+}{frac{1}{sqrtln x overfrac{1}{(x-2)^alpha}}}=lim_{xto1+}frac {(x-2)^alpha}{sqrtln x}$$

Despite trying various methods I haven't been able to obtain a real number as a limit value for some $alphainmathbb{R}$

          $begingroup$

          An issue is that you look at $b=2$. You should consider the fact that the "problem" is at $1$, and adapt your theorem (it's easy) for $fcolon (a,b]tomathbb{R}$ and look at the $a=1$ end.



          Rewrite, for $x>1$,
          $$
          sqrt{ln x} = sqrt{ln(1+(x-1))},.
          $$

          This seems silly, but now, recall that
          $$
          lim_{uto 0} frac{ln(1+u)}{u} = 1
          $$

          so that
          $$
          lim_{xto 1} frac{sqrt{ln x}}{(x-1)^{1/2}} = lim_{xto 1} sqrt{frac{ln x}{x-1}}= lim_{xto 1} sqrt{frac{ln(1+(x-1))}{x-1}} = sqrt{lim_{xto 1} frac{ln(1+(x-1))}{x-1}} = sqrt{1}=1
          $$



          Can you conclude?

          Well,yes, problem is indeed at $a=1$,so it seemed weird to me trying to determine the order of function with respect to ${1over x-2}$.So, to conclude, if c is a point where my function is problematic, I should try to determine the order with respect to ${1over x-c}$.Moreover, if I am determining the order of $f(x)={1over sqrt ln x}$ ,shouldn't I write $$lim_{xto1+}{(x-1)^{1over2}over sqrt{ln (1+(x-1))}}=sqrt{lim_{xto1+}frac{x-1}{ln(1+(x-1))}}=sqrt{lim_{xto1+}(frac {ln(1+(x-1))}{x-1})^-1}=sqrt1=1$$ ?

          You seem to have a problem with the superscript, but yes. But that's the same... if $f/gto 1$ and $g>0$, then $g/fto 1$ and $f>0$. @TuranNəsibli
