Series converge?
Suppose the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n^3$ converges, whether or not the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n/n$ converge?

I think it does not necessarily converge, but I could not find a counterexample. Would you help me? Thank you.

Use Abel transform.

Re: Series converge?
Sorry, it was a misleading hint. You can use Hölder's inequality to see it works if $\sum_{k\geq 0}|a_k|^3<\infty$.

Re: Series converge?
Yes, so a counterexample would have to have to converge conditionally.

I think you might be able to prove that it converges, though. If the first series converges, then $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}a_n=0$. Can you use this to show that the second series converges?
