Remark2. Any family of nonnegative series {Enfp(n): p > 0) for which the convergence or the divergence is known, should, by a similar analysis, lead to another test
for convergence.
Remark 3. From the test above it follows that the Dirichlet series
an > 0 for all n
converges if
e
T
and diverges if
En;->alnS
with
log an

log n~
s <-ilo
s > - h log an
