In my information theory course, we have been asked to find the entropy of a particular distribution in $mathbb{N}$. In order to do so, I have come to the following integral
$$sumlimits_{n=1}^{infty}frac{lfloor log_2n rfloor }{2^{2lfloor log_2n rfloor}}$$
I would be content approximating it by $sumlimits_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{log_2(n)}{ n^2}$, but I don't know how to compute it neither (or if this is even possible).
I know that the series $sumlimits_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{log(n)}{ n^2}$ (with the natural logarithm for example), converges (Bertrand series), but I would like to know if its value is known.
I apologize if this has already been answered, or if it is easy to find somewhere else.

With the integer part still in there
$$
sumlimits_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{lfloor log_2n rfloor }{2^{2lfloor log_2n rfloor}}
$$
proceed like this.
For $n=1$ we have $lfloor log_2n rfloor = 0$.
For $2 le n < 4$ we have $lfloor log_2n rfloor = 1.qquad$ (two terms)
For $4 le n < 8$ we have $lfloor log_2n rfloor = 2.qquad$ (four terms)
And so on,
For $2^k le n < 2^{k+1}$ we have $lfloor log_2n rfloor = k.qquad$ ($2^k$ terms)
So
$$
sumlimits_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{lfloor log_2n rfloor }{2^{2lfloor log_2n rfloor}} =
sum_{k=0}^infty 2^k;frac{k}{2^{2k}} = 2
$$
