Is it possible to apply the Dirichlet’s uniform convergence test

real-analysissequences-and-seriesuniform-convergence

For a series of functions given by $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{k}\sin\left(\frac{x}{k+1}\right)$$ on some bounded nonempty set $A$ in $\mathbb{R}$, is it possible to apply the Dirichlet's uniform convergence test?

I know that it converges uniformly on $A$ by Weierstrass $M$-test.

So, i have tried to focus in a partial sum of $\sin\left(\frac{x}{k+1}\right)$, thinking the idea of bounding the partial sum $\sum_{k=1}^{n}\sin{kx}$.

Unlike what i expected, nothing was gained.

Give me some advice or any help. Thank you!

We have $|\sin x| \le |x|$ for all $x$.

There is $c>0$ such that $|x| \le c$ for all $x \in A.$ Hence for $x \in A$ we get

$|\frac{1}{k}\sin (\frac{x}{k+1})| \le \frac{1}{k}\frac{|x|}{k+1} \le c \frac{1}{k(k+1)}.$

Can you proceed ?
