| Jun 3, 2010 at 20:54 | comment | added | Dror Speiser | The problem reduces to computing and proving the main terms of sums of the form $\sum_{k=1}^{n} \{\frac{ka}{n+1}\}$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{n} k\{\frac{ka}{n+1}\}$, the former being easy. I have not cracked the second sum. | |
| Jun 3, 2010 at 5:30 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | You say you're new, and no-one else has posted here, so just let me re-assure you: people are reading. You're getting views and upvotes. The reason I have made no post here is that I tried your problem and simply can't get anywhere; perhaps others are in the same boat. | |
| Jun 3, 2010 at 1:44 | comment | added | James Propp | It appears that the managers of the site kindly put 50 bounty points on this question on my behalf, which I appreciate. Meanwhile, when I reloaded this page, I finally noticed the "add bounty" button (which I could swear wasn't there before!), so I put 50 bounty points on the problem on my own behalf, not realizing that the site managers had already put 50 bounty points on the problem. So now there's 100 bounty points on the problem, which is fine with me, if it'll get this problem more attention. But am I the only one who's having trouble using MathOverflow? | |

| Jun 2, 2010 at 3:50 | comment | added | James Propp | Okay, I'm offering a bounty of 50 reputation points for the first person to give a detailed solution to this problem. (Not just a proof-sketch, but the details too; the sort of thing you'd submit as a solution to a problem published in the American Mathematical Monthly). I'm kind of new to MathOverflow, so I'm unclear whether posting a bounty is something I can just decree informally in a comment like this, or whether there's an official procedure I need to follow. (The FAQ says "You can post a bounty" but it doesn't say how!) | |
