  2. Abel's summation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel's_summation_formula

    Fix a complex number .If = for and () =, then () = ⌊ ⌋ and the formula becomes = ⌊ ⌋ = ⌊ ⌋ + ⌊ ⌋ +. If () >, then the limit as exists and yields the ...

  3. Prefix sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum

    Prefix sums are trivial to compute in sequential models of computation, by using the formula y i = y i − 1 + x i to compute each output value in sequence order. However, despite their ease of computation, prefix sums are a useful primitive in certain algorithms such as counting sort, [1] [2] and they form the basis of the scan higher-order function in functional programming languages.

  4. Summation by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation_by_parts

    In mathematics, summation by parts transforms the summation of products of sequences into other summations, often simplifying the computation or (especially) estimation of certain types of sums. It is also called Abel's lemma or Abel transformation , named after Niels Henrik Abel who introduced it in 1826.

  5. Telescoping series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescoping_series

    In mathematics, a telescoping series is a series whose general term is of the form = +, i.e. the difference of two consecutive terms of a sequence ().As a consequence the partial sums of the series only consists of two terms of () after cancellation.

  6. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    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.

  7. Convergent series - Wikipedia

    The n th partial sum S n is the sum of the first n terms of the sequence; ... but as a practical matter the limit is often difficult to compute for commonly seen ...

  8. Series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_(mathematics)

    Using the symbols , for the partial sums of the original series and , for the partial sums of the series after multiplication by , this definition implies that , =, for all , and therefore also , =,, when the limits exist. Therefore if a series is summable, any nonzero scalar multiple of the series is also summable and vice versa: if a series ...
