What do you get when you sum over the smaller half of the harmonic series?

More specifically, how would you evaluate the below formula? $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{k=n/2}^{n}\frac{1}{k}$$ I know that the harmonic series starting at any point diverges, but when we limit it in this way, does the series diverge or converge?

If it diverges:

  • How might you determine that?

  • Is there some $d$ that we can replace with $2$ to make the sequence converge?

If it converges:

  • What does it converge to, and how might you determine that?

  • The sequence must converge for any $d>2$. Is there a formula for the series generalized for any $d$?
