Other problems

Problem 1

Given a positive integer r>1r>1 , prove that there exists an infinite number of infinite geometrical series, with positive terms, having the sum 1 and satisfying the following condition: for any positive real numbers S1,S2,…,SrS_{1},S_{2},\dots,S_{r} such that S1+S2+⋯+Sr=1S_{1}+S_{2}+\dots+S_{r}=1 , any of these infinite geometrical series can be divided into rr infinite series(not necessarily geometrical) having the sums S1,S2,…,SrS_{1},S_{2},\dots,S_{r} , respectively. (S. 6)

Problem 2

Show that the series

∑n=1∞1nsin(asin(2nπN))ebcos(2nπN)\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n}sin(asin(\frac{2n\pi}{N}))e^{bcos(\frac{2n\pi}{N})} is convergent for every positive integer N and any real numbers a and b. (S. 25)
