let n - 2i = 2m    ie  2i  = n-2m
hence
  SUM { lg (n-2i) }   =   SUM { lg (2m) }

no the limits....

upper limit =>   i = n/2-1  ie  2i = n-2  ie  n-2m = n-2  ie m=1
lower limit =>   i = 0        ie  2i = 0     ie  n-2m = 0    ie  m=n/2

therefore the summation is

                 SUM { lg((2m) } where  m = 1 to n/2

now the variable is not important in the summation hence substituting i for
m we get :

                 SUM { lg(2i) }   where i = 1 to n/2   which is your
expression on the left side.

what say ?
