I have the following recurrent relation and I want to find a close form of it if it exists at all. $$ P_n = (1-p)^{n-1}P_{n-1} + \sum\limits_{k=2}^{n} \binom{n-1}{k-1} p^{\binom{k}{2}} (1-p)^{k(n-k)} ...

In a lecture I once attended, I remember the speaker using a result of the following nature: $``$Let $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty \subset \mathbb R$ be a sequence satisfying a recursion of the form $$P(n) ...

I was reading the book of Johann Boos "Classical and modern method in summability theory" and I came across an exercise from the Chapter 2 (page 50, exercise 2.3.15). Here is the statement ...

Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth (continuously differentiable), convex function with a non-empty set of minimizers and $\{x^k\}$ be a sequence such that (a) $\{x^k\}$ has an ...

Let $(x_i)_{i=0}^\infty$ be a sequence such that $0<x_i<1\ \forall i \in \mathbb{N} \cup {0}$.Consider the following series: $$\sum_{i=1}^\infty \frac{x_i}{\left(\sum_{k=0}^{i-1} x_k \right)^2}.$...
