This is Hewitt and Stromberg's Real and Abstract Analysis Problem 21.22. My approach was to compare with this question



How to derive $int_0^1 int_0^1 frac{1}{1-xy} ,dy,dx = sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{1}{n^{2}}$



and use the series expansion of $frac{1}{(1-xy)^ p}$ to calculate this integral. I found this expansion to be



$$frac{1}{(1-xy)^ p}=sum_{n=0}^ infty frac{p cdots (p+n-1)}{n!} (xy)^ n.$$



However, I got this integral is



$$lim_{r to 1} int_0^ r int_0^ r (sum_{n=0}^ infty frac{p cdots (p+n-1)}{n!} (xy)^ n) dxdy = sum_{n=0}^ infty frac{pcdots (p+n-1)}{n!(n+1)^ 2}.$$



But, I don't seem to find if this series converges or diverges, much less what is the value of the integral. Also it says to calculate the following integrals,



$$int_{0}^ 1 int_{0}^ 1 frac{1}{(1-xy)^ p} dydx, int_{0}^ 1 int_{0}^ 1 Bigg|frac{1}{(1-xy)^ p}Bigg| dxdy, int_{0}^ 1 int_{0}^ 1 Bigg|frac{1}{(1-xy)^ p}Bigg| dydx$$



and to compare with Fubini's Theorem.



Have I done something wrong?



Thanks a lot!

  • @Batominovski I had it with the $p+n-1$ but I didn't seem to conclude anything so I thought I could just use $p+n$. I've edited now, how can I know if it converges?

This is a well-known integral for $0<p<1$ and involves the Harmonic number:



$$frac{H_{1-p}}{1-p}$$
