The great success mathematicians had studying hypergeometric functions _pF_q(a_1,...,a_p;b_1,...,b_q;z) for the convergent cases (p<=q+1) prompted attempts to provide ...

A sum is the result of an addition. For example, adding 1, 2, 3, and 4 gives the sum 10, written 1+2+3+4=10. (1) The numbers being summed are called addends, or sometimes ...

Given a positive nondecreasing sequence 0<lambda_1<=lambda_2<=..., the zeta-regularized product is defined by product_(n=1)^^^inftylambda_n=exp(-zeta_lambda^'(0)), where ...

Given a sequence {a_k}_(k=1)^n, a partial sum of the first N terms is given by S_N=sum_(k=1)^Na_k.

The sum of sets A and B in a vector space, equal to {a+b:a in A,b in B}.

A sum in which subsequent terms cancel each other, leaving only initial and final terms. For example, S = sum_(i=1)^(n-1)(a_i-a_(i+1)) (1) = ...

Given two bicentric points P=p:q:r and U=u:v:w, their bicentric sum is defined by p+u:q+v:r:w.

For a given function f(x) over a partition of a given interval, the lower sum is the sum of box areas m^*Deltax_k using the infimum m of the function f(x) in each subinterval ...

An exponential sum of the form sum_(n=1)^Ne^(2piiP(n)), (1) where P(n) is a real polynomial (Weyl 1914, 1916; Montgomery 2001). Writing e(theta)=e^(2piitheta), (2) a notation ...

Two oriented knots (or links) can be summed by placing them side by side and joining them by straight bars so that orientation is preserved in the sum. The knot sum is also ...
