One way to try to give a value $S$ to a divergent series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ is with a smooth cutoff function: $$ S = \lim_{N\to\infty}\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n \eta\left(\frac{n}{N}\right) $$ where $\...

If one looks at the "summation proofs" of divergent series such as Grandi's series, one might see a pattern that most of the computation rely on linearity and comparability with the shift ...

UPDATE. I am now making this a CW in the hope someone can improve the content of this question and/or correct the text. This is a concise version of this math.SE question of mine. I've got an answer ...
