problem

Determine the maximum value of the sum S=∑n=1∞n2n(a1a2⋯an)1/nS = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n}{2^n} (a_1 a_2 \cdots a_n)^{1/n} over all sequences a1,a2,a3,⋯a_1, a_2, a_3, \cdots of nonnegative real numbers satisfying ∑k=1∞ak=1.\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k = 1.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Determine the maximum value of the sum
S=∑_(n=1)^(∞)(n)/(2^(n))(a₁a₂⋯a_(n))^(1/n)
over all sequences a₁,a₂,a₃,⋯ of nonnegative real numbers satisfying
∑_(k=1)^(∞)a_(k)=1.
Original LaTeX notation
Determine the maximum value of the sum
\[S = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n}{2^n} (a_1 a_2 \cdots a_n)^{1/n}\]
over all sequences $a_1, a_2, a_3, \cdots$ of nonnegative real numbers satisfying
\[\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k = 1.\]
