Sum of $sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{ln(n) -ln(n+1)}{n+1}$
$begingroup$
The sum series exercise started as: $$sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{lnleft(frac{n^n}{left(n+1right)^n}right)}{n(n+1)} = sum_{n=1}^infty frac{nlnfrac{n}{n+1}}{n(n+1)} = sum_{n=1}^infty frac{ln(n) - ln(n+1)}{n+1}$$
Looking into calculating it.
A quick hint will help me out!

Convergence of the series is direct; the value of its sum, though, is not obvious. What makes you think it can be computed?

As $n to infty$, the general term of the series satisfies
$$
frac{lnleft(frac{n^n}{(n+1)^n}right)}{n(n+1)}=-frac{1}{n+1}ln{small{left(1+frac1nright)}}sim -frac1{n^2}
$$
giving the convergence of the series.
From
$$
sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{lnleft(frac{n^n}{(n+1)^n}right)}{n(n+1)}=sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{ln n-ln(n+1)}{n+1}
$$ one may use Theorem 2 (16) to get a closed form in terms of poly-Stieltjes constants:
$$
sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{lnleft(frac{n^n}{(n+1)^n}right)}{n(n+1)}=gamma_1(0,1)-gamma_1 tag1
$$
where
$$
gamma_1(a,b) = lim_{Nto+infty}left(sum_{n=1}^N frac{log (n+a)}{n+b}-frac{log^2 !N}2right)
$$
and $gamma_1=gamma_1(1,1)$ is an ordinary Stieltjes constant.
By using Mathematica, one gets
$$
sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{lnleft(frac{n^n}{(n+1)^n}right)}{n(n+1)}=-0.7885205660cdots. tag2
$$
