The divergent sum $\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n (n^2)! x^n$

Question I'm interested in assigning a value to the divergent series $F(x)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n (n^2)! x^n$. I'm hoping that (1) the definition for $F(x)$ has (one-sided) derivatives of $(-1)^n (n^...

Is there an asymptotic bound between converging and diverging series? [closed]

Let us define for every $k\in\mathbb{N}$ and every large enough $x\in \mathbb{R}$, $$ \log^{[k]}(x) = \begin{cases} \log^{[k-1]}(\log(x)) & k>0 \\ x & k=0 \end{cases}. $$ It is well known, ...

What is the growth rate of the sum of powers of distinct primes closest to a given a integer?

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and $$2 = p_1 < p_2 < \dots < p_m \le n$$ be the sequence of all primes less than or equal to $n$. For each index $j$ let $p_j^{e_j}$ be the largest power of $...
