Note:
d x n d n ( x lo g x ) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \substack x = 1 = d x n d n ( 1 + x lo g ( 1 + x ) ) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \substack x = 0
1 + x lo g ( 1 + x ) = ( x − 2 x 2 + 3 x 3 − … ) ( 1 − x + x 2 − x 3 − … ) … ( 2 )
Co-efficient of x n in above equation = ( − 1 ) n + 1 ( 1 + 2 1 + 3 1 + … n 1 )
For evaluating the n-th derivative of a polynomial (or more appropriately, power series here) at x=0, only information of the co-efficient of x n is required as all the lower powers will disappear due to repeated differentiation and higher powers will vanish on putting x=0. (This is why the transformation in first equation was done.)
Formally:
If f ( x ) = a 0 + a 1 x + a 2 x 2 + …
= n = 0 ∑ ∞ a n x n
Then,
d x n d n f ( x ) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ x = 0 = n ! ⋅ a n
Thus, we have:
g ( n ) = ( − 1 ) n + 1 ( 1 + 2 1 + 3 1 + … n 1 )
Now, note that for k ∈ N , the following holds:
g ( 2 k ) + g ( 2 k + 1 ) = − ( 1 + 2 1 + … 2 k 1 ) + ( 1 + 2 1 + … 2 k + 1 1 ) = 2 k + 1 1
Finally,
k = 2 m ∑ 4 m + 1 g ( k ) = g ( 2 m ) + g ( 2 m + 1 ) + g ( 2 m + 2 ) + g ( 2 m + 3 ) + … g ( 4 m ) + g ( 4 m + 1 )
= 2 m + 1 1 + 2 m + 3 1 + … 4 m + 1 1
= ∑ r = 0 m 2 ( m + r ) + 1 1
∴ m → ∞ lim k = 2 m ∑ 4 m + 1 g ( k ) = m → ∞ lim r = 0 ∑ m 2 ( m + r ) + 1 1
= m → ∞ lim m 1 r = 0 ∑ m 2 + m 2 r + 1 1
If m r + 2 1 = x , then m 1 = d x
∴ m → ∞ lim k = 2 m ∑ 4 m + 1 g ( k ) = 0 ∫ 1 2 + 2 x 1 d x
= 2 1 lo g 2
