Does the attached series converge or diverge?

The image displays a mathematical formula representing an infinite series. The series is expressed as follows:

\[
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2 + i^n}
\]

### Explanation:

- **Summation Symbol (\(\sum\))**: This symbol denotes the sum of a sequence of terms.
- **Index of Summation (\(n=1\))**: It indicates that the summation starts from \(n=1\).
- **Upper Limit of Summation (\(\infty\))**: The summation continues indefinitely towards infinity.
- **Expression Within the Sum**: The term \(\frac{1}{n^2 + i^n}\) represents each term in the series. Here:
  - \(n^2\) is the square of the index \(n\).
  - \(i^n\) is \(i\) raised to the power of \(n\), where \(i\) is the imaginary unit (\(i = \sqrt{-1}\)).
  
This series is a complex infinite series due to the presence of the imaginary unit \(i\), and it may converge to a specific value or diverge. The behavior of such a series would typically be analyzed in complex analysis or advanced calculus.
