n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n − 1 n H n = A + ln B
The above equation holds true for positive integers A and B . Find A + B .
Notation : H n denotes the n th harmonic number , H n = 1 + 2 1 + 3 1 + ⋯ + n 1 .
Inspired by my own problem .

Sorry I mistakenly added a minus sign.
S ⟹ 2 1 S ⟹ S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n − 1 n H n = 1 + n = 2 ∑ ∞ 2 n − 1 n H n = 1 + n = 2 ∑ ∞ 2 n − 1 n ( H n − 1 + n 1 ) = 1 + n = 2 ∑ ∞ 2 n − 1 n H n − 1 + 1 = 1 + n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n ( n + 1 ) H n + 1 = 1 + 2 1 n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n − 1 n H n + n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n H n + n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n 1 = n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n H n + n = 0 ∑ ∞ 2 n 1 = 1 − 2 1 − ln ( 1 − 2 1 ) + 1 − 2 1 1 = 2 ln 2 + 2 = 4 ln 2 + 4 = 4 + ln 1 6
⟹ A + B = 4 + 1 6 = 2 0 .
@Aditya Kumar change the negative sign to positive. The problem will be okay.

Let J ( x ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ H n x n = − 1 − x ln ( 1 − x ) for ∣ x ∣ < 1
We have J ′ ( 2 1 ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n − 1 n H n = ( 1 − 2 1 ) 2 1 − ( 1 − 2 1 ) 2 ln ( 1 − 2 1 )
Thus , n = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 n − 1 n H n = 4 + ln 1 6 making the answer 4 + 1 6 = 2 0
Note : There's a typo , It should be A + ln B
