   lim_(n→∞)  ((⌊a⌋+⌊2a⌋+...+⌊na⌋)/n^2 ) where a∈R     and ⌊x⌋ is the floor of x ∈ R
$$\:\:\:\underset{{n}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{\lfloor{a}\rfloor+\lfloor\mathrm{2}{a}\rfloor+…+\lfloor{na}\rfloor}{{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:\mathrm{where}\:{a}\in\mathbb{R} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\mathrm{and}\:\lfloor{x}\rfloor\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{floor}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{x}\:\in\:\mathbb{R} \\ $$

Just guessing:  −∞ for a<0  (a/2) for a≥0
$$\mathrm{Just}\:\mathrm{guessing}: \\ $$$$−\infty\:\mathrm{for}\:{a}<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\frac{{a}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{for}\:{a}\geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$
