Some solutions of a differential equation having a regular singular point with indicial roots = and .. In mathematics, the method of Frobenius, named after Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, is a way to find an infinite series solution for a linear second-order ordinary differential equation of the form ″ + ′ + = with ′ and ″.
Ramanujan summation is a technique invented by the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan for assigning a value to divergent infinite series.Although the Ramanujan summation of a divergent series is not a sum in the traditional sense, it has properties that make it mathematically useful in the study of divergent infinite series, for which conventional summation is undefined.
An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.
A series or, redundantly, an infinite series, is an infinite sum. It is often represented as [ 8 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] a 0 + a 1 + a 2 + ⋯ or a 1 + a 2 + a 3 + ⋯ , {\displaystyle a_{0}+a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots \quad {\text{or}}\quad a_{1}+a_{2}+a_{3}+\cdots ,} where the terms a k {\displaystyle a_{k}} are the members of a sequence of numbers ...
The first four partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯.The parabola is their smoothed asymptote; its y-intercept is −1/12. [1]The infinite series whose terms ...
This formula can be very useful in determining the residues for low-order poles. For higher-order poles, the calculations can become unmanageable, and series expansion is usually easier. For essential singularities , no such simple formula exists, and residues must usually be taken directly from series expansions.
In mathematics, the root test is a criterion for the convergence (a convergence test) of an infinite series.It depends on the quantity | |, where are the terms of the series, and states that the series converges absolutely if this quantity is less than one, but diverges if it is greater than one.
In mathematics, a generating function is a representation of an infinite sequence of numbers as the coefficients of a formal power series.Generating functions are often expressed in closed form (rather than as a series), by some expression involving operations on the formal series.
