Question: Find the value of ∑ni=1(1n−i)c for large n.
n∑i=1(1n−i)c=n∑i=1(1n)c(11−in)c=nn×n∑i=1(1n)c(11−in)c=n(1n)cn∑i=11n(11−in)c(1)
Let f(x)=(11−x)c, by using Riemann-sum theorem, we have
limn→∞n∑i=11n(11−in)c=∫10(11−x)c=A(2)
By using (1) and (2), for sufficently large n, we have
n∑i=1(1n−i)c=A×n(1n)c
The presented proof has a problem, f(x) is not defined in the closed interval [0,1]. How can I solve this problem?
Definition (Riemann-sum theorem) Let f(x) be a function dened on a closed interval [a,b]. Then, we have
limn→∞n∑i=1f(a+(b−an)i)1n=∫baf(x)dx
Answer
2√n−i+√n−i+1≤1√n−i≤2√n−i+√n−i−1⇒2(√n−i+1−√n−i)≤1√n−i≤2(√n−i−√n−i−1)⇒2n−1∑i=1(√n−i+1−√n−i)≤n−1∑i=11√n−i≤2n−1∑i=1(√n−i−√n−i−1)⇒2(√n−1)≤n−1∑i=11√n−i≤2√n−1
