Where $f$ is a function defined in $mathbbR$ with countinuos derivative in all
$mathbbR$, for each $nin mathbbN$ and the function $lfloor x rfloor$ is the floor function.
I tried using integration by parts:
I have
$$int_1^n f'(x)lfloor x rfloor dx + int_1^n lfloor x rfloor ' f(x) dx = lfloor n rfloor f(n)-lfloor 1 rfloor f(1)$$
Then $$int_1^nf(x)lfloor x rfloor ' dx + lfloor 1 rfloor f(1) = lfloor x rfloor f(n)- int_1^n lfloor x rfloor f'(x) dx$$
But I have(Is this correct?):
$$int_1^nf'(x) lfloor x rfloor dx= sum_i=1^n lfloor x rfloor int_i^i+1f'(x) dx= sum_i = 1^n f(i)$$
So now I end with:
$$sum_i = 1^n f(i)= lfloor x rfloor f(n) -int_1^nf(x)lfloor x rfloor ' dx - lfloor 1 rfloor f(1) $$
But I don't know how to proceed from here.

HINT: note that $lfloor xrfloorle x$, and that $lfloor xrfloor$ is a constant function in $[n,n+1)$ for any chosen $ninBbb N$, so
$$int_1^n f'(x)lfloor xrfloor, dx\=int_1^2 f'(x)cdot 1, dx+int_2^3 f'(x)cdot 2, dx+ldots+int_n-1^n f'(x)(n-1), dx\
=sum_k=1^n-1kint_k^k+1f'(x), dxtag1$$
Now applying the fundamental theorem of calculus we find that
$$sum_k=1^n-1kint_k^k+1f'(x), dx=sum_k=1^n-1k(f(k+1)-f(k))=sum_k=1^n-1 kf(k+1)-sum_k=1^n-1kf(k)\
=sum_k=2^n (k-1)f(k)-sum_k=1^n-1kf(k)=(n-1)f(n)-f(1)-sum_k=2^n-1f(k)$$
Can you conclude from here, right?
