The summation can be rewritten as H ( 2 n ) − H ( n ) , where H ( n ) = i = 1 ∑ n i 1 . Thus, we wish to find
L = n → ∞ lim H ( 2 n ) − H ( n )
Note that the Euler-Mascheroni constant is defined as
γ = n → ∞ lim H ( n ) − ln ( n )
Thus,
L = n → ∞ lim ln ( 2 n ) − ln ( n ) = ln ( 2 ) = 0 . 6 9

alternatively,
n → ∞ lim i = 1 ∑ n n + i 1 = n 1 i = 1 ∑ n 1 + n i 1 = ∫ 1 2 t d t = ln 2
