I would like to know what the equation is for as series of infinite terms which are multiplied by the order of the terms:
∞∑i=0∞∑j=0(ij)aibj
a and b are both fractions.
Thanks to the answers provided on the question " Simple approximation to a series of infinite terms ", I assume that the this simplifies to:
∞∑i=0iai⋅∞∑j=0jbj
A simple formula similar to the answers provided in the previous question would be much appreciated.
Answer
Assuming that a and b are constants with an absolute value less than 1.
Looking at each summation individually we know that from the Neumann series
∞∑i=0ai=11−a
Assuming that the derivative of the above series can be portrayed as
f′(a)=∞∑i=0iai−1=1(1−a)2
After multiplying by a on each side we get
af′(a)=∞∑i=0iai=a(1−a)2
We can do the same with
bf′(b)=∞∑j=0jbj=b(1−b)2
Thus
∞∑i=0∞∑j=0(ij)aibj=ab(1−a)2(1−b)2
