I would like to prove that the following sequence converges to zero, given that $U_n$ converges to zero
$$v_n = \sum_{k= 1}^n \frac{kU_k}{n^2}$$
I have tried to use the epsilon definition and I got here :
$$- \epsilon \sum k <\sum_{k= N}^n \frac{kU_k}{n^2}< \epsilon \sum k $$
However I don't know what to do next, since this only work for $k \ge N $ where $N$ is the range that I got from the convergence epsilon definition for $u_n$
I there a better way using some theorem to prove this ? I was thinking about cesaro theorem .
Answer
Using the definition of limit, given an $\epsilon\gt0$, there is an $N$ so that
$$
n\gt N\implies|u_n|\lt\epsilon\tag1
$$
Furthermore, find
$$
M=\max_{n\le N}|u_n|\tag2
$$
Then, for $n\gt N$,
$$
\begin{align}
\left|\,\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{ku_k}{n^2}\,\right|
&\le\left|\,\sum_{k=1}^N\frac{ku_k}{n^2}\,\right|+\left|\,\sum_{k=N+1}^n\frac{ku_k}{n^2}\,\right|\\
&\le\underbrace{M\frac{N^2+N}{2n^2}}_{\to0}+\underbrace{\epsilon\frac{n^2+n}{2n^2}}_{\to\frac\epsilon2}\tag3
\end{align}
$$
Thus,
$$
\limsup_{n\to\infty}\left|\,\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{ku_k}{n^2}\,\right|\le\frac\epsilon2\tag4
$$
Since this is true for all $\epsilon\gt0$, we have
$$
\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\,\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{ku_k}{n^2}\,\right|=0\tag5
$$
