The value of lim(n→∞) ([r] + [2r] + ... + [nr]) / n², where r is a non-zero real number and [r] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to r, is equal to:
The value of lim(n→∞) ([r] + [2r] + ... + [nr]) / n², where r is a non-zero real number and [r] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to r, is equal to:
Limit (n→∞) [[r] + [2r] + ... + [nr]] / n²
We know that x - 1 < [x] ≤ x.
Summing from k=1 to n for [kr]:
Σ(kr - 1) < Σ[kr] ≤ Σ(kr)
rΣk - Σ1 < Σ[kr] ≤ rΣk
r(n(n+1)/2) - n < Σ[kr] ≤ r(n(n+1)/2)
Divide by n²:
(r/2)(1 + 1/n) - 1/n < (Σ[kr])/n² ≤ (r/2)(1 + 1/n)
As n → ∞, both the left and right sides approach r/2.
By the Squeeze Theorem, the limit is r/2.
