Abstract:
We consider the distribution defined by the reciprocals of binomial
coefficients and compute the corresponding moments. We find recurrence
relations and the relative ordinary generating functions, which we give
explicitly for the first six moments (m = 0, 1, ..., 5).
Finally we give asymptotic approximations of the moments and of related
quantities.
