An inequality involving binomial coefficients and the powers of two
I came across the following inequality, which should hold for any integer $k\geq 1$:
$$\sum_{j=0}^{k-1}\frac{(-1)^{j}2^{k-1-j}\binom{k}{j}(k-j)}{2k+1-j}\leq
\frac{1}{3}.$$
I have been struggling with …

Limit of a sum with binomial coefficients
Let $$A_k = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^ki{2k-i-1 \choose i-1}{i-1 \choose k-i}}{k{2k-1\choose k}}$$
$$B_k = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^ki{2k-i-2 \choose i-1}{i \choose k-i}}{k{2k-1\choose k}}$$
$$C_k = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^k …

Lower bound and limit of a sum with binomial coefficients
Let
$$A_k = \sum_{i=1}^k i {3k-2i-1 \choose i-1} {2i-2 \choose k-i}$$
$$B_k = \sum_{i=1}^k i {3k-2i-2 \choose i-1} {2i-1 \choose k-i}$$
$$C_k = \sum_{i=1}^k (3k-2i-2) {3k-2i-3 \choose i-1} {2i\choo …
