To find the value of $$\sum_{m=1}^{∞}{\sum_{n=1}^{∞}{\frac{m^2\cdot n}{3^m \cdot (n\cdot 3^m+m\cdot3^n)} } }$$ I dont know how to proceed to these kind of problems. Can anybody provide a sol to this problem which may give me an insight to solve more like these :)

Are you confortable with solving ${\sum_{n=1}^{∞}{\frac{An}{Bn+C\cdot3^n} } } $? – Martigan Sep 18 '14 at 15:17

Actually, no, But if u can provide some link or some kind off, I will try to understand – Dinesh Sep 18 '14 at 15:19

@Martigan: I think no one is comfortable with solving that :D – Jack D'Aurizio Sep 18 '14 at 15:25

We have, with a classical symmetry trick: $$2\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\sum_{m=1}^{+\infty}\frac{m^2 n}{3^m(m 3^n + n 3^m)}=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{\frac{m^2n}{3^m}+\frac{mn^2}{3^n}}{m3^n+n3^m}=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\sum_{m=1}^{+\infty}\frac{mn}{3^{m+n}}=\left(\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{n}{3^n}\right)^2$$ hence the original series just equals $\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \color{red}{\frac{9}{32}}.$

what's the trick, please explain and how did you transformed second into third form (where n and m are interchanged) – RE60K Sep 18 '14 at 16:14

1Just switch the role of $m$ and $n$. We have:$$\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\sum_{m=1}^{+\infty}\frac{m^2n}{3^m(m3^n+n3^m)} = \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\sum_{m=1}^{+\infty}\frac{mn^2}{3^n(m3^n+n3^m)}.$$ Then sum and simplify. – Jack D'Aurizio Sep 18 '14 at 17:13
