Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (HLS) Inequality fails in the ``critical'' case: $μ=n$. However, for discrete HLS, we can derive a finite form of HLS inequality with logarithm correction for a critical case: $μ=n$ and $p=q$, by limiting the inequality on a finite domain. The best constant in the inequality and its corresponding solution, the optimizer, are studied. First, we obtain a sharp estimate for the best constant. Then for the optimizer, we prove the uniqueness and a symmetry property. This is achieved by proving that the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation has a unique nontrivial nonnegative critical point. Also, by using a discrete version of maximum principle, we prove certain monotonicity of this optimizer.

Keywords: HLS inequality, Euler-Lagrange equation., maximum principle.
