The sum of the reciprocals of the numbers in any sum-free sequence is less than 2.8570 . The sum of the reciprocals of the heptagonal numbers converges to a known value that is not only irrational but also transcendental , and for which there exists a complicated formula .
In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.
This list of mathematical series contains formulae for finite and infinite sums. It can be used in conjunction with other tools for evaluating sums. It can be used in conjunction with other tools for evaluating sums.
The most naïve algorithm would be to cycle through all subsets of n numbers and, for every one of them, check if the subset sums to the right number. The running time is of order O ( 2 n ⋅ n ) {\displaystyle O(2^{n}\cdot n)} , since there are 2 n {\displaystyle 2^{n}} subsets and, to check each subset, we need to sum at most n elements.
If the array contains all non-negative numbers, then the problem is trivial; a maximum subarray is the entire array. If the array contains all non-positive numbers, then a solution is any subarray of size 1 containing the maximal value of the array (or the empty subarray, if it is permitted).

Computation of the sum 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + 14. When the sequence is reversed and added to itself term by term, the resulting sequence has a single repeated value in it, equal to the sum of the first and last numbers (2 + 14 = 16). Thus 16 × 5 = 80 is twice the sum.
