This "innocent-looking" identity came out of some calculation with determinants, and I like to inquire if one can provide a proof. Actually, different methods of proofs would be of valuable merit and ...

Assume $s, j \in\mathbb{N}$. Define the set $$\mathcal{A}_{j,s}:=\{(n_1,n_2,\dots,n_j)\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq0}^j\vert \, n_1+2n_2+\cdots+jn_j=j, \, n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_j=s\}.$$ Question. Is there a ...

As many people here, I know of a few identities involving expressions of the type $\sum_{i}\ f(i)$, with "arbitrarily complicated $f(\cdot)$", as well as closed formulas in some cases. I also know ...
