If $sum a_n^{3/2}$ is convergent then $sum frac{a_n}n$ is convergent

If $sum a_n^{3/2}$ is convergent then $sum frac{a_n}n$ is convergent.




To prove this result: How to approach ?



Actually, when I first encountered this problem, I searched for an example that would counter this claim.



But I only have the usual example of harmonic series.



Hint only, please.

Use Holder's inequality to deduce that
$$
sum_{n} frac{a_n}{n}leq left(sum_n a_n^{3/2}right)^{2/3}left(sum_n frac{1}{n^3}right)^{1/3}
$$

    One does not need to use Holder, Young, or anything else that advanced. The part of the series in the RHS corresponding to those $n$ with $a_n<frac1{n^2}$ converges since $a_n<frac1{n^2}$ yields $frac{a_n}n<frac1{n^3}$, the part corresponding to those $n$ with $a_ngefrac1{n^2}$ converges since in this case $frac{a_n}nle a_n^{3/2}$.

      Your thought of the harmonic series is a good one. If $a_n$ is nice enough, you can say $a_n^{3/2} lt frac 1n$, so $frac {a_n}n lt n^{-5/3}$. Of course, you were not given that $a_n$ is nice, so there is still work to do.

      Note first that, for $a_1,ldots,a_nge 0$, according to Hölder's inequality
      $$
      frac{a_1}{1}+frac{a_2}{2}+cdots+frac{a_n}{n}le (a_1^p+cdots+a_n^p)^{1/p}
      left(frac{1}{1^q}+cdots+frac{1}{n^q}right)^{1/q}
      $$
      whenever $displaystyle frac{1}{p}+frac{1}{q}=1$. In particular, for $p=3/2$ and $q=3$, we have
      $$
      frac{a_1}{1}+frac{a_2}{2}+cdots+frac{a_n}{n}le (a_1^{3/2}+cdots+a_n^{3/2})^{2/3}
      left(frac{1}{1^3}+cdots+frac{1}{n^3}right)^{1/3}le left(sum_{n=1}^infty a_n^{3/2}right)^{2/3}left(sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{1}{n^3}right)^{1/3}=M<infty.
      $$
      Hence, $sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{a_n}{n}$ converges.
