Showing $\sum_{y \in Y} f(x_0, y) = \sum_{(x,y) \in \{x_0\} \times Y} f(x, y)$.

Let $X, Y$ be finite sets, and let $f: X \times Y \to \mathbb{R}$ be a function. I am trying to show that $$ \sum_{y \in Y} f(x_0, y) = \sum_{(x,y) \in \{x_0\} \times Y} f(x, y) $$ by using the ...

Fractional part of a sum

Define for $n\in\mathbb{N}$ $$S_n=\sum_{r=0}^{n}\binom{n}{r}^2\left(\sum_{k=1}^{n+r}\frac{1}{k^5}\right)$$ I need to find $\{S_n\}$ for $n$ large where $\{x\}$ denotes the fractional part of $x$. $$...

How do we know $x$ is fixed in $\sum_{y \in Y}f(x,y)$?

The following result comes from Analysis I by Terence Tao. Let $X, Y$ be finite sets, and let $f : X \times Y \to \mathbf{R}$ be a function. Then $$ \sum_{x \in X}\left(\sum_{y \in Y}f(x,y)\right) = \...

How to prove the sum of limits theorem for a finite N number of limits? [duplicate]

I was reading a book with sequences and it proved that given two sequences $A$ and $B$ which both converge, then $\lim(A+B) =\lim(A)+\lim(B)$. However, the sum of $N$ limits $$\lim(A_1+A_2+A_3+\dots)=\...

How to solve $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \prod\limits_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{\alpha+k}{\beta+k}$? [duplicate]

This problem: $S:=\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \prod\limits_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{\alpha+k}{\beta+k}$ where $\beta > a+1, \ \ \alpha, \beta >0$ is in my problem book and I couldn't solve it I tried to ...

Is this a sufficient condition to interchange infinite sums?

I came across this wikipedia article, which has the following result: Theorem 5: If $a_{m,n}$ is a sequence and $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_{m,n}$ exists uniformly in $m$, and $\lim_{m \to \infty} a_{m,n}$...

Why $\infty=\sum_{i=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n+i}\neq\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{n+i}=\log2$?

I was wondering why $\sum_{i=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n+i}$ diverges but $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{n+i}=\log2$. While assuming integral as limit of series, we find out that: $$ \int_1^...

Please help me with the partial differentiation of a matrix elementwise

Background Help me calculate the triple summation Problem We want to show that $$ \frac{\partial}{\partial\xi_i}\left[\sum_{i=1}^k\sum_{j=1}^k a_{ij}(\bar{x}_i-\xi_i)(\bar{x}_j-\xi_j)\right] = -2\sum_{...

Help me calculate the triple summation

Problem We consider $$ \sum_{\nu=1}^n \sum_{i=1}^k \sum_{j=1}^k a_{ij}(x_{i\nu}-\xi_i)(x_{j\nu}-\xi_j) = \sum_{\nu=1}^n \sum_{i=1}^k \sum_{j=1}^k a_{ij}(x_{i\nu}-\bar{x}_i)(x_{j\nu}-\bar{x}_j) - 2n \...

When I was looking at the proof of Fejer's theorem, I encountered a problem in the derivation of a formula. [closed]

How did we get the last equation? Why can the summation be converted into a square term? $$ \begin{align}K_m(x)&:=1+\frac{2}{m}\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}(m-j)\cos(jx) \\&= \frac1m\sum_{j=-(m-1)}^{m-1} (...

what can I deduce from $\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i + y_i) = 0$?

If $x_i$ and $y_i$ are integers. And if I know that $\sum_{i}^{n} x_i = \sum_{i}^{n} y_i = 0$ and that $\sum_{i}^{n}(x_i + y_i) = 0$ what is the best I can deduce about $x_i$ and $y_i$? Does this ...

What are these infinite sums of powers of integers, $n^p$, multiplying a quadratic in the Bessel function $J_n(nx)$ and its derivative $J'_n(nx)$?

What are explicit elementary functions of real $x$, for $0 < x < 1$, if they exist, for $p=1$ and $p=3$ of $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^p [J_n(nx)]^2$$ $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{p+1}J_n(nx)J'_n(nx)$$ $$\...

A problem on finding the limit of the sum

$$u_{n} = \frac{1}{1\cdot n} + \frac{1}{2\cdot(n-1)} + \frac{1}{3\cdot(n-2)} + \dots + \frac{1}{n\cdot1}.$$ Show that, $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} u_n = 0$. The only approach I can see is either ...

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 ...

Why does this proof work: $\sum\limits_{n=1}^ \infty \left(\frac{1}{4n-1} - \frac{1}{4n}\right)= \frac{\ln(64)- \pi}{8}$?

$$f(x):= \sum_{n=1}^ \infty \left(\frac{x^{4n-1}}{4n-1} - \frac{x^{4n}}{4n}\right)$$ $$f'(x) = \sum_{n=1}^ \infty ( x^{4n-2}- x^{4n-1})= \frac{x^2}{(1+x)(1+x^2)}$$ $$\int_0 ^1 \frac{x^2}{(1+x)(1+x^2)}=...
