Is
\begin{equation}
\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{(2i-1)^2}{\left(4(2i-1)^2 x+1\right)^{\sigma}}>\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{4(i-1)^2}{\left(16(i-1)^2 x+1\right)^{\sigma}},\tag{1}
\end{equation}
for all $x,...

Showing $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\left ( \sum_{j=1}^{\infty }\frac{x^{(n-j)^2}-x^{(n+j-1)^2}}{(2n-1)(2j-1)} \right ) = \frac{\pi^2}{8}$
Show that
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\left ( \sum_{j=1}^{\infty }\frac{x^{(n-j)^2}-x^{(n+j-1)^2}}{(2n-1)(2j-1)} \right) = \frac{\pi^2}{8}$$
I liked this problem because the result is a final answer, and ...

Convergence of summation of complex exponentials with alternating exponent
Related to my previous question, consider $$f(s)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \exp(-s(-2)^k)$$where $s\in\mathbb{C}$ is a complex number. According to the Willie Wong's comment, $f(s)$ diverges when $\Re\{s\} \...

Can we compare the arithmetic mean of the ratios given the comparison between individual arithmetic means?
I have positive real random numbers $u_1,\ldots,u_n$ and $v_1,\ldots,v_n$ and $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ and $y_1,\ldots,y_n$.
I know that the arithmetic mean of $u_i$'s is greater than the arithmetic mean of $...

How to rigorously prove that $e^x = \sum\limits_{n=0}^ \infty \frac{x^n}{n!}$ without defining derivatives? [duplicate]
In my problem book, there was a question: By defining $e= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\left( 1+\frac{1}{n} \right) ^n$ prove that $e^x = \sum\limits_{n=0}^ \infty \frac{x^n}{n!}$. this is a strange ...

Useful Partial Sums
The following formula: $$\sum_{k=m}^nf(k)=c(n-m)+\sum_{k=m}^\infty(f(k)-f(k+n))$$(Where $f\rightarrow c$) can be proven by telescoping the infinite sum in the RHS. The use of this formula is to expand ...

$\dfrac{\mathrm{d}^n}{\mathrm{d}x^n}\dfrac{e^{ax}}{\ln(cx)}$ and summation with Stirling number of the first kind
I would like to calculate the $n$-th derivative of $\dfrac{e^{ax}}{\ln(cx)}$
I tried to calculate it in this way:
$$(fg)^{(n)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}f^{(k)}(x)g^{(n-k)}(x)$$
