Problem



Evaluate
$$lim_{n to infty}frac{1^{lambda n}+2^{lambda n}+cdots+n^{lambda n}}{n^{lambda n}}$$
where $lambda>0.$



Solution



Denote
$$S_n:=sum_{k=1}^{n}left(frac{k}{n}right)^{lambda n}=sum_{k=0}^{n-1}left(1-frac{k}{n}right)^{lambda n}.tag1$$



On one hand, we choose some $pin mathbb{N+}$, fix it, and let $n>p+1$. Then
$$S_n geq sum_{k=0}^{p}left(1-frac{k}{n}right)^{lambda n}.tag2$$
Let $n to infty$ within $(2)$. We obtain
$$liminf_{n to infty}S_ngeq liminf_{n to infty} sum_{k=0}^{p}left(1-frac{k}{n}right)^{lambda n}=sum_{k=0}^{p}liminf_{n to infty}left(1-frac{k}{n}right)^{lambda n}=sum_{k=0}^{p}e^{-lambda k}.tag3$$
Notice that $(3)$ holds for all $p$. We may let $p to infty$ and obtain
$$liminf_{n to infty}S_ngeq sum_{k=0}^{infty}e^{-lambda k}=frac{e^{lambda}}{e^{lambda}-1}.tag4$$



On the other hand, from $1+xleq e^x$ we may derive
$left(1-dfrac{k}{n}right)^{lambda n}leq e^{-lambda k}.$
Thus
$$S_n leq sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{-lambda k}.tag5$$
Let $n to infty$ within $(5)$. We obtain
$$limsup_{n to infty}S_n leq limsup_{n to infty}sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{-lambda k}=frac{e^{lambda}}{e^{lambda}-1}.tag6$$
See $(4)$ and $(6)$. We may conclude
$$frac{e^{lambda}}{e^{lambda}-1}leq liminf_{n to infty}S_nleq limsup_{n to infty}S_nleq frac{e^{lambda}}{e^{lambda}-1},tag7$$
which implies
$$lim_{n to infty}S_n=frac{e^{lambda}}{e^{lambda}-1}.tag8$$



Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
