SCHWEITZER 2021 Problem 9

    For a given natural number nn , two players randomly (uniformly distributed) select a common number 0≤j≤n0 \le j \le n , and then each of them independently randomly selects a subset of {1,2,⋯ ,n}\{1,2, \cdots, n \} with jj elements. Let pnp_n be the probability that the same set was chosen. Prove that ∑k=1npk=2log⁡n+2γ−1+o(1),(n→∞),\sum_{k=1}^{n} p_k = 2 \log{n} + 2 \gamma - 1 + o(1), (n \to \infty), where γ\gamma is the Euler constant.
