A nested double sum(to do with e?)

I’ve come across this nested double sum while doing an investigation but cannot seem to find a closed form for it. $$1+\sum_{i=1}^\infty{\frac{1}{i!} \sum_{j=0}^i}{\frac{1}{j!}}$$ This is about the ...

What is this operation?

Let $F[n]$ and $G[n]$ be arrays of length $N$. At first, $G=F$. After initialisation, $G$ is calculated by the relation ...

Alternating sign Vandermonde convolution like quantity

I am interested in proving that the numbers $A_{n,m}$ are non-negative: $$A_{n,m}:= \sum_{n_1=0}^{2n-1} \sum_{m_1=0}^{2m-1} (-1)^{m_1+n_1} \binom{2n-1-n_1}{2m-1-m_1} \binom{n_1}{m_1}$$ where $m,n$ are ...

What is the closed form sum of the convolution of non-zero squares?

I am trying to do the runtime analysis for a coding problem, and I've found that the total number of operations is equal to: \begin{equation} \sum_{i=1}^{n} i^2 (n-i)^2 \end{equation} Where n is the ...

Minimum of a finite Fourier sum

I would like to find the minimum $$m_N = \min_{0\leq x\leq 2\pi} \{ f_N(x) \} \quad \hbox{ with } \quad f_N(x)=\frac{N}{2}+\sum_{k=1}^{N-1} (N-k) \cos(k x)$$ for all integers $N\geq 2$. It looks like ...

How to prove that the convolution product is commutative?

$ x\in \mathbb Z $ $$(f*g)(x)= \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} f(k) g(x-k).$$ How can I prove the commutativity of the convolution product with this expression and without integrals? I tried with the substitution $j=...

Understanding the mathematical relation in the convolution sums

I am looking at an example on convolution sums. In the example it states the following: $$ y[n] = \sum_{k=-\infty }^{n }2^{k} = \sum_{m=0}^{\infty } \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{m-n}$$ The sum for $2^...

$d\lambda$ in the convolution integral vs its counterpart the convolution sum

So for a bit of background, in my courses I have been presented to convolution integral and then convolution sum with the following formulas : Continuous case : $$x(t)*h(t) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x(...

Behavior of self convolution of 1/n

I wish to find a closed form, or a good upper bound for $\sum_{i=1}^{i=n-1} \frac{1}{i \times (n-i)}$. I can specify a lower bound of $(n-1)/n^2$, which looks like $1/n$ because we have $n-1$ terms ...

How to prove that convolution of sequences is associative?

Let {$a_n$} and {$b_n$} be finite real sequences with $n\ge0$. Convolution ($\ast$) of two sequences defined as $$ \{a_n\}\ast\{b_n\}=\{\sum_{i=0}^{n} a_ib_{n-i}\}. $$ The convolution of three ...

Finite convolution sum of power function

I am interested in understanding the behavior of the convolution sum $$\sum_{k = 1}^{n} k^r (n - k)^s$$ for integer $n$, $r$, and $s$. I imagine that there must be some larger theory surrounding sums ...

The mean of exponential distributions

I would like to ask the following question. Let's say we have two independent variables of x and y, and both are exponentially distributed with mean $\mu_1, \mu_2$. And let $S=x+y$. May I know whether ...

Periodic functions summation order

It can be shown, if I am not mistaken, that for $g(n) \geq n,\; n \in \mathbb{N}$ holds: \begin{equation} F(n,g(n)) = \sum_{d=1}^{n}\sum_{k=1}^{g(n)} f(k,d) \sim \sum_{d=1}^{n} \frac{g(n)}{d}\sum_{...
