What is the indefinite sum of tan(x)?

Well I found the answer to your question, it is $$\sum_x \tan(x)=ix-\psi _{e^{2 i}}^{(0)}\left(x+\frac{\pi }{2}\right)+C$$ I have verified it with difference operator and it gives tan(x). The functi …

What summations of elementary trig functions are known to have (elementary) closed forms?

From this answer of mine The antidifference of tangent is: $$\sum_z\tan z=\sum _{k=1}^{\infty } \left(\psi \left(k \pi -\frac{\pi }{2}+1\right)+\psi \left(k \pi -\frac{\pi }{2}\right)-\psi \left(k \p …

kth finite difference always positive when kth derivative is?

No, this is not true. For instance, for function $(10(1-e^{-1/x^2})-9)+\exp(x)$ and $f(0)=2$ all the consecutive derivatives are positive at $x=0$, while the first difference is not. For function $f …
