sequences and series - Estimating sumn1/2



Could someone please explain me how does one obtain the following estimate:
nXn1/2=12X1/2+c+O(X1/2),
where c is some constant.




Thank you very much!



PS As pointed out in the comments, 1/2 in front of X1/2 is a typo... I would like an answer with the correct coefficient here.


Answer



You can use the Euler McLaurin formula which gives us the estimate



2n+K+12n+O(n3/2)



It can be shown by other means that K=ζ(12).
