real analysis - Evaluate suminftyk=2left(suminftyn=21overknright)



I am trying to evaluate



k=2(n=21kn)


First observation: 1kn<1. So, in the limit, the sum of p first terms of the inner sum is
limp(1k211kp11k)=1k2111k=1k(k1)

The outer sum now looks like this
k=21k(k1)=12+16+112+120+


We know that 1k2 converges, so the rewritten sum will converge as well. Do you have any ideas how to find the sum?


Answer



Hint:



12+16+112+120+...=12+1213+1314+1415+...



which is an example for a telescoping series



Btw: You have proven that n1(ζ(n)1)=1, congratulations :)
