Determine the largest real number in [0,2] $beta$ a double series converges.
$begingroup$
I wish to determine the largest real number $beta in [0,2]$ for which the following converges:
begin{align}
sum_{j=1}^{infty}sum_{i=1}^{infty} frac{(i^2+j^2)^{beta-1}}{(ij)^3}
end{align}
now, my first attempt is either to try to say, ok, $beta=2$ and then see that $beta$ is to large... but I need to either show that it really is $beta-epsilon$ for where $epsilon$ is arbitrarly small or determine the exact value. So, my second attempt is to use bionomial expansions, where $()_k$ is the falling factorial:
begin{align}
sum_{j=1}^{infty}sum_{i=1}^{infty} frac{1}{i^3j^3} sum_{k=0}^{infty} frac{(beta-1)_k}{k!}(i^2)^{beta-1-k}(j^2)^k
end{align}
and then try to move stuff in...but there i get stuck. The third attempt is to see use Cauchy's condensation criterion, but no dice. any suggestions?

To assure the sum is finite, we need to know that we sum finite numbers. And this can be only when $beta<2$.

@Jakobian: No, when $beta=1$ the exponent in the numerator is $0$, so the numerator is $1$ and we get a finite sum. I missed the $-1$ initially, too.

Hints:
- Use $$(i^2+j^2)^{beta-1} geq i^{2(beta-1)}$$ to show that $$sum_{i=1}^{infty} frac{(i^2+j^2)^{beta-1}}{(ij)^3} = infty quad text{for $beta=2$}.$$ Hence, $$sum_{j=1}^{infty} sum_{i=1}^{infty} frac{(i^2+j^2)^{beta-1}}{(ij)^3} = infty quad text{for $beta=2$}.$$
- Prove (or recall) that $(x+y)^p leq x^p + y^p$ for any $x,y>0$ and $p in (0,1)$.
- Show that $$(i^2+j^2)^{beta-1} leq begin{cases} i^{2(beta-1)} + j^{2(beta-1)}, & beta in (1,2) \ 1, & beta in [0,1] end{cases}$$ for any $i,j geq 1$.
- Use Step 3 to prove that $$sum_{j=1}^{infty} sum_{i=1}^{infty} frac{(i^2+j^2)^{beta-1}}{(ij)^3} < infty quad text{for $beta in (0,2)$}.$$
$endgroup$

@edo Well, you didn't mention that you already know all of that. It's hard to say what your advisor wants to hear from you; certainly $$sup{beta; text{the series converges for $beta$}}=2$$ but the series fails to converge for $beta=2$. There is really not more to say about this.
