Closed form of sum of n^n series? [closed]

Hi readers, may i know how this formula is derived? I thought of using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%E2%80%93Maclaurin_formula which is Euler-Maclaurian to find the formula but its not.

What is an approximate closed form for sum of $n^n$ series?

I read about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%E2%80%93Maclaurin_formula which is Euler-Maclaurain and I did my calculation to find the constants. However, the answer differ greatly from ...

Sum of 1.5-powers of natural numbers using Euler-Maclaurin Formula?

Hi, I have read this Sum of 1.5-powers of natural numbers and answers posted by Mark Viola. However, I am not too sure on how he got to this. Can anyone show me as I am quite new to series?

Computing:$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{3^n}{n!(n+3)}$

I'm learning the subject Power Series and I can't figure out how to find the sum of the series $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{3^n}{n!(n+3)}$$. I know that the power series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{3^n}{n!(n+...

Nested Sum of nested series

I came across this series while doing a problem today, $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty\left(\sum_{n=0}^ka_n\right)x^k-\left(\sum_{n=0}^k x^{n}\right)a_k$$ And I wasnt able to get any further with it, but thought ...

Is this summation equality true

A double factorial is such that $(2n)!!=(2n)(2n-2)...(2),$ and $(2n-1)!!=(2n-1)(2n-3)...3$. So $8!!=(8)(6)(4)(2)$. More information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_factorial With this in ...

Frobenius Method solution and radius of convergence

I was given the equation $$y''-2xy'+\mu y = 0 $$ where $\mu$ is a parameter $\geq{0}$. I got the relation of sums: $$ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n+2}(n+1)(n+2)x^{n} - 2\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n}nx^{n} + \...

What is the Radius of Convergene of $f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac1{4^n}z^{2n+1}$

Here's what I have: $f(z) = z + \frac14z^3+\frac1{4^2}z^5+...$ So, my coefficients are either $0$ or $\frac1{4^n}$ with $\frac1{4^n}$ being the supremum. So, $\limsup \limits_{n \to \infty} |c_n|^{\...

Evaluate infinite s, series, similar to $\cos(z)$

Evaluate the sum $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^kz^{ak}}{\Gamma(1+ak)}$$ where $a\in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ and $z\in\mathbb{C}$. I know if $a=2$ then this is the series expansion for $\cos(z)$. But for ...

Find the radius of convergence of $\sum_{i=0}^\infty a_n$ where $\sum_{i=0}^\infty 2^n a_n$ converges, but $\sum_{i=0}^\infty (-1)^n2_na_n$ diverges [closed]

From this example: $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ converges and $\sum_{n=1}^\infty|a_n|$ diverges. Then Radius of convergence? I believe I'm supposed to leverage these two statements to show that $R \leq |z|$...

Show $\liminf_n |\sum^n a_kb_{n-k}|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = \liminf_n |a_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}}$?

Suppose for some complex $a_n$ and $b_n$ such that $\liminf_n |a_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = \liminf_n |b_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}}= R$. Show that $\liminf_n |\sum^n a_kb_{n-k}|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = R$? I'm somehow ...

The autocovariance function of ARMA(1,1)

So I am reading Brockwell and Davis introduction to Time Series analysis on page 89 where he derives the ACVF of an $ARMA(1,1)$ given by: $X_t - \phi X_{t-1}=Z_t+\theta Z_{t-1}$ with ${Z_t}$ is $WN(0,...
