Check whether this series is convergent or divergent I am trying to find out whether the following series is convergent or divergent. I already tried the Root test and the Ratio test and all of them are inconclusive.
$$\sum_{n\geq1} \frac{n^n}{e^n * n!}$$
I also have a hint from my teacher that says
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}n(e - (1 + \frac{1}{n})^n) = \frac{e}{2} $$
Thank you!
 A: I managed to solve it myself. it's quite easy.
We just have to use the Raabe's Test.
By this, let $$R_n=n(\frac{x_{n}}{x_{n + 1}} - 1)$$
Where $$x_n = \frac{n^n}{e^n+n!}$$
$$\frac{x_{n + 1}}{x_{n}} = \frac{1}{e}(1 + \frac{1}{n})^n$$
$$\frac{x_{n}}{x_{n + 1}} = \frac{e}{(1 + \frac{1}{n})^n}$$
$$R_n = n(\frac{e}{(1 + \frac{1}{n})^n} - 1) = \frac{n(e - (1 + \frac{1}{n}^n)^n}{(1 + \frac{1}{n})^n}$$
We know by the hint that the numerator of $R_n$ tends to $\frac{e}{2}$ and the denominator tends to $e$.
Thank gives us that $$\lim_{n\to\infty}R_n = \frac{1}{2}$$
Because $\lim_{n\to\infty}R_n \lt 0$, we conclude that the series $\sum_{x_n}$ is $divergent$.
The Kelenner's answer is too complex for me and this approach seems easier.
A: You have as hint that
$$(1+\frac{1}{n})^n=e-\frac{e}{2n}+o(1/n)$$
Let $\alpha\in ]1/2,1[$. Recall that $(1+\frac{1}{n})^{\alpha}=1+\frac{\alpha}{n}+o(1/n)$, and now put $v_n=n^{\alpha}u_n$ with $u_n$ your series. We have then
$$\frac{v_{n+1}}{v_n}=(1-\frac{1}{2n}+o(1/n))(1+\frac{\alpha}{n}+o(1/n))=1+(\alpha-\frac{1}{2})\frac{1}{n}+o(1/n)$$
This gives that there exists $N$ such that if $n\geq N$, we have $v_{n+1}\geq v_n$. Now as $v_n>0$ for all $n$, we get a $c>0$ such that $v_n\geq c$ for all $n$. This show that $\displaystyle u_n\geq \frac{c}{n^{\alpha}}$, and as $\alpha<1$, that $\displaystyle \sum u_n=+\infty$.
