Does the sum converge or diverge in Wolfram Alpha?

Posted 2 years ago

Standard WolframAlpha doesn't conclude whether below sum converges or diverges

sum(prime(n)/prime(n+1)/n^2,n=1...infinity)

Using Maple notation for the input to Inverse Symbolic Calculator

evalf[16](sum(nextprime(p)/nextprime(nextprime(p))/p^2, p = 1 .. 1000000));

gives 1.116727203339173

With Mathematica we can use:

 FullSimplify[Prime[n] > n Log[n], n \[Element] Integers && n > 0]
 (*True*)

Then:

  SumConvergence[(n Log[n])/(n^2 n Log[n + 1]), n]
  (*True*)
