I have to calculate the limit of this formula as $nto infty$.
$$a_n = frac1sqrtnbigl(frac1sqrtn+1+cdots+frac1sqrt2nbigl)$$
I tried the Squeeze Theorem, but I get something like this:
$$frac1sqrt2leftarrowfracnsqrt2n^2lefrac1sqrtnbigl(frac1sqrtn+1+cdots+frac1sqrt2nbigl) le fracnsqrtn^2+nto1$$
As you can see, the limits of two other sequences aren't the same. Can you give me some hints? Thank you in advance.

Rearrange it as
$$ frac1nleft(sqrtfracnn+1+sqrtfracnn+2+ldots+sqrtfracnn+1right) = frac1nsum_k=1^nfrac1sqrt1+frackn$$
which is a Riemann sum for
$$ int_0^1fracdxsqrt1+x=2sqrt2-2.$$
Since $frac1sqrt1+x$ is a convex function on $[0,1]$, the Hermite-Hadamard and Karamata's inequalities give us that $a_n_ngeq 1$ is an increasing sequence convergent to $2sqrt2-2$. Additionally it is not difficult to check that $a_n= 2sqrt2-2-Thetaleft(frac1nright)$ as $nto +infty$.

for a decreasing function such as $1/sqrt x$ with $x$ positive, a simple picture shows
$$ int_a^b+1 ; f(x) ; dx < sum_k=a^b f(k) < int_a-1^b ; f(x) ; dx $$
$$ int_n+1^2n+1 ; frac1sqrt x ; dx < sum_k=n+1^2n frac1sqrt k < int_n^2n ; frac1sqrt x ; dx $$
getting there
$$ 2 sqrt 2n+1 - 2 sqrt n+1 < sum_k=n+1^2n frac1sqrt k < 2 sqrt 2n - 2 sqrt n $$
$$ 2 sqrt 2+frac1n - 2 sqrt 1+frac1n < frac1sqrt n sum_k=n+1^2n frac1sqrt k < 2 sqrt 2 - 2 sqrt 1 $$

for a decreasing function such as $1/sqrt x$ with $x$ positive, a simple picture shows
$$ int_a^b+1 ; f(x) ; dx < sum_k=a^b f(k) < int_a-1^b ; f(x) ; dx $$
$$ int_n+1^2n+1 ; frac1sqrt x ; dx < sum_k=n+1^2n frac1sqrt k < int_n^2n ; frac1sqrt x ; dx $$
getting there
$$ 2 sqrt 2n+1 - 2 sqrt n+1 < sum_k=n+1^2n frac1sqrt k < 2 sqrt 2n - 2 sqrt n $$
$$ 2 sqrt 2+frac1n - 2 sqrt 1+frac1n < frac1sqrt n sum_k=n+1^2n frac1sqrt k < 2 sqrt 2 - 2 sqrt 1 $$
