Minimize the Sum of Reciprocal of Probabilities I need a probability distribution over $ n $ events such that the sum of expected values is minimized. That is, minimize 
The problem is given by:
$$\begin{aligned}
\arg \min_{ {p}_{i} } & \; && \sum_{i = 1}^{n} \frac{1}{ {p}_{i} } \\ 
\text{subject to} & \; && \sum_{i = 1}^{n} {p}_{i} = 1
\end{aligned}$$
I guess it's a basic easy question. I would appreciate any hint.

Let's use the method of Lagrange multipliers:
$$ L=\sum_i\frac{1}{p_i}+\lambda\left(\sum_ip_i-1\right)\implies0=\frac{\partial L}{\partial p_i}=\lambda-\frac{1}{p_i^2}\implies\frac{\partial^2L}{\partial p_i^2}=\frac{2}{p_i^3}>0, $$
So it is guaranteed that the extreme point is a Minimum Point.
Moreover:
$$ 0 = \lambda - \frac{1}{ {p}_{i}^{2} } \Rightarrow {p}_{i} = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{\lambda} } $$
And from the constraint:
$$ \sum_{i = 1}^{n} \frac{1}{ \sqrt{\lambda} } = 1 \Rightarrow \lambda = {n}^{2} $$
Which suggests that $ {p}_{i} = \frac{1}{n} $.
