This is inspired by the recent question How many solutions $\pm1\pm2\pm3…\pm n=0$. The oeis entries A063865 linked to this question and A292476/A156700 for the related one "How many solutions $\pm1\...

Let $\binom x y$ be the binomial coefficient. I am trying to get a better understanding of the sum $$ f(N,\lambda)=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}\binom{N-1}n\frac{(-1)^n}{n+1} e^{-\frac{n}{2(n+1)}\lambda} $$ as a ...

Good evening, I'm trying to find an asymptotic of this sum: $$\sum_{j=0}^n (-1)^j {n \choose j} (n - j)^n = n^n - {n \choose 1} (n - 1)^n + {n \choose 2} (n - 2)^n + ... + (-1)^n {n \choose n} (n - ...
