Could someone please explain me how does one obtain the following estimate:
∑n≤Xn−1/2=12X1/2+c+O(X−1/2),
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
2√n+K+12√n+O(n−3/2)
It can be shown by other means that K=ζ(12).
