Below we switch n^(1/n) with (1/n)^n.
While
Sum[(-1)^n (n^(1/n)), {n, 1, Infinity}] is divergent and Sum[(-1)^n (n^(1/n)-1), {n, 1, Infinity}] converges,
Sum[(-1)^n ((1/n)^n), {n, 1, Infinity}] converges and Sum[(-1)^n ((1/n)^n-1), {n, 1, Infinity}] is divergent.
I just noticed the additive inverse of Sum[(-1)^n ((1/n)^n), {n, 1, Infinity}] is in Steven R Finch's book Mathematical Constants P.449, one of two striking integrals just before the series for the MRB.constant.
Using Sum[(-1)^n ((1/n)^n), {n, 1, Infinity}] :
The following was of interest to me, where I use Mathematica's NSum for divergent series involving x:
If
mm0=NSum[(-1)^n ((1/n)^n), {n, 1, Infinity}, WorkingPrecision -> 30,
Method -> "AlternatingSigns"]
then
NSum[(-1)^n ((1/n)^n - x), {n, 1, Infinity}, WorkingPrecision -> 30,
Method -> "AlternatingSigns"] gives mm0+1/2*(x).
That is similar to what I earlier noted:
If
m0 = NSum[(-1)^n (n^(1/n) ), {n, 1, Infinity},
WorkingPrecision -> 30, Method -> "AlternatingSigns"]
then
NSum[(-1)^n (n^(1/n) - x), {n, 1, Infinity}, WorkingPrecision -> 30,
Method -> "AlternatingSigns"] gives m0+1/2*(x).
