gamma function - Sum of series $frac{ 4}{10}+frac{4cdot 7}{10cdot 20}+frac{4cdot 7 cdot 10}{10cdot 20 cdot 30}+cdots cdots$





Sum of the series



$$\frac {4}{10}+\frac {4\cdot7}{10\cdot20}+ \frac {4\cdot7\cdot10}{10\cdot20\cdot30}+\cdots $$




Sum of series $\frac {4}{10}+\frac {4\cdot7}{10\cdot20}+ \frac {4\cdot7\cdot10}{10\cdot20\cdot30}+\cdots$



But i want to solve it using Beta ganmma function.




My Process follows



Let $$S = \frac{1}{10}\bigg[\frac{ 4}{1}+\frac{4\cdot 7}{1\cdot 2}+\frac{4\cdot 7 \cdot 10}{1\cdot 2 \cdot 3}+\cdots \cdots \bigg]$$



Let $\displaystyle a_{n} = \prod^{n}_{k=1}(3k+1)=3^n \prod^{n}_{k=1}\bigg(k+\frac{1}{3}\bigg)$



$\displaystyle =3^n\Gamma\bigg(n+\frac{4}{3}\bigg)\cdot \frac{1}{\Gamma \bigg(\frac{4}{3}\bigg)}$



And Let $\displaystyle b_{n} = \prod^{n}_{k=1}k = \Gamma (n+1)$




So $\displaystyle S =\frac{1}{10} \sum^{\infty}_{n=1}3^n \frac{\Gamma \bigg(n+\frac{4}{3}\bigg)\cdot \Gamma \bigg(\frac{2}{3}\bigg)}{\Gamma \bigg(\frac{2}{3}\bigg)\Gamma \bigg(\frac{4}{3}\bigg)\cdot \Gamma(n+1)}$



using $\displaystyle \Gamma(x)\cdot \Gamma(1-x) = \frac{\pi}{\sin (\pi x)}$ and



$\displaystyle \frac{\Gamma (a) \Gamma(b)}{\Gamma(a+b)} =B(a,b)= \int^{1}_{0}x^{a-1}(1-x)^{b-1}dx$



So $\displaystyle S = \frac{1}{10}\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}3^n\int^{1}_{0}x^{n+\frac{1}{3}}(1-x)^{-\frac{1}{3}}dx$



$\displaystyle =\frac{1}{10}\int^{1}_{0}\frac{3x}{1-3x}\cdot \bigg(\frac{x}{1-x}\bigg)^{\frac{1}{3}}dx$




Now put $\displaystyle \frac{x}{1-x} = t\Rightarrow x = \frac{t}{1+t} = 1-\frac{1}{1+t}$



So $\displaystyle S = \frac{3}{10}\int^{\infty}_{0}\frac{t^{\frac{4}{3}}}{(2t-1)(1+t)^2}dt$



Could some Help me to solve it, Thanks



although it has solved Here


Answer



For a complex number $z$ such that $|z|<1$, let
$$f(z):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\,\prod_{k=1}^n\,\left(\frac{k+\frac{1}{3}}{k}\right)\,z^n\,.$$

Then, the required sum $S:=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\,\prod_{k=1}^n\,\left(\frac{3k+1}{10k}\right)$ satisfies
$$S=f\left(\frac{3}{10}\right)-1\,.$$
We claim that $f(z)=(1-z)^{-\frac43}$ for all complex numbers $z$ such that $|z|<1$. As a consequence,
$$S=\left(\frac{7}{10}\right)^{-\frac43}-1=\left(\frac{10}{7}\right)^{\frac43}-1\approx0.608926\,.$$



Note that, for $n=0,1,2,3,\ldots$,
$$\begin{align}t_n&:=\prod_{k=1}^n\,\left(\frac{k+\frac{1}{3}}{k}\right)\\&=\frac{\Gamma\left(n+\frac43\right)}{\Gamma\left(\frac43\right)\,\Gamma(n+1)}\\&=\frac{(n+1)\,\Gamma\left(n+\frac43\right)}{\Gamma\left(\frac43\right)\,\Gamma(n+2)}\,,\end{align}$$
where $\Gamma$ is the usual gamma function.
That is,
$$t_n=\frac{n+1}{\Gamma\left(\frac43\right)\,\Gamma\left(\frac23\right)}\,\text{B}\left(n+\frac43,\frac23\right)\,,$$

where $\text{B}$ is the usual beta function.
From the identity
$$\Gamma(x)\,\Gamma(1-x)=\frac{\pi}{\sin(\pi\,x)}\,,$$
we conclude that
$$\Gamma\left(\frac43\right)\,\Gamma\left(-\frac13\right)=\frac{\pi}{\sin\left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\right)}=-\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{3}}\,.$$
Ergo,
$$\Gamma\left(\frac43\right)\,\Gamma\left(\frac23\right)=\left(-\frac13\right)\,\left(-\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{2\pi}{3\sqrt{3}}\,.$$
In other words,
$$t_n=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\pi}\,(n+1)\,\int_0^1\,u^{n+\frac13}\,(1-u)^{-\frac13}\,\text{d}u\,.$$




We now obtain
$$f(z)=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\pi}\,\int_0^1\,\left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty\,(n+1)\,u^{n+\frac13}\,z^n\right)\,(1-u)^{-\frac13}\,\text{d}u\,.$$
This gives
$$f(z)=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\pi}\,\int_0^1\,\frac{u^{\frac13}\,(1-u)^{-\frac13}}{(1-zu)^2}\,\text{d}u\,.$$
Let $v:=\dfrac{u}{1-u}$. Then,
$$f(z)=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\pi}\,\int_0^\infty\,\frac{v^{\frac13}}{\big(1+(1-z)v\big)^2}\,\text{d}v\,.$$



The integral
$$J:=\int_0^\infty\,\frac{v^{\frac13}}{\big(1+(1-z)v\big)^2}\,\text{d}v$$
can be evaluated using the same keyhole contour as in this thread. It is not difficult to see that

$$\begin{align}J&=\left(\frac{2\pi\text{i}}{1-\exp\left(\frac{2\pi\text{i}}{3}\right)}\right)\,\text{Res}_{v=-\frac{1}{1-z}}\left(\frac{v^{\frac13}}{\big(1+(1-z)v\big)^2}\right)
\\&=-\frac{\pi\,\exp\left(-\frac{\pi\text{i}}{3}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)}\,\Biggl(-\frac{\exp\left(\frac{\pi\text{i}}{3}\right)}{3}\,(1-z)^{-\frac43}\Biggr)
\\&=\frac{2\pi}{3\sqrt{3}}\,(1-z)^{-\frac{4}{3}}\,.\end{align}$$
That is,
$$f(z)=(1-z)^{-\frac43}\text{ for all }z\in\mathbb{C}\text{ such that }|z|<1\,.$$



Well, the OP requested a long and combersome solution. The result can be easily proven via the binomial theorem:
$$(1-z)^{-\frac43}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\,\binom{-\frac43}{n}\,(-1)^n\,z^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\,\prod_{k=1}^n\,\left(\frac{k+\frac13}{k}\right)\,z^n$$
for every complex number $z$ with $|z|<1$.
