For fixed real , define and . This makes exactly the summand containing nested sines. The elementary inequality gives inductivelyThe fact that an iterated contraction gives a summable orbit applies here. Comparison with a geometric series therefore givesThus the nested-sine series converges absolutely for every real ; there are no divergent or merely conditionally convergent cases.
