If

f(x)=f_0+f_1x+f_2x^2+...+f_nx^n+...,
(1)

then

S(n,j)=f_jx^j+f_(j+n)x^(j+n)+f_(j+2n)x^(j+2n)+...
(2)

is given by

S(n,j)=1/nsum_(t=0)^(n-1)w^(-jt)f(w^tx),
(3)

where w=e^(2pii/n).

When applied to the generating function

(1+x)^n=sum_(k=0)^n(n; k)x^k
(4)

it gives the identity

sum_(m=0)^infty(n; t+sm)=1/ssum_(j=0)^(s-1)cos[(pi(n-2t)j)/s]2^ncos^n((pij)/s)
(5)

with integers 0<=t<s (and where the sum can be taken only up to t+sm<=n).

Other multisection examples are given by Somos (2006).
