Closed form of $ \sum_{k_{j-1}=0}^{k_j}....\sum_{k_1=0}^{k_2} \sum_{k=0}^{k_1} k^m $ as a po...

Consider how the iterated sum $ \sum_{k_{j-1}=0}^{k_j}....\sum_{k_1=0}^{k_2} \sum_{k=0}^{k_1} 1 $ produces the diagonals on pascal's triangle, so it has a nice closed form. Does the iterated sum $ \su …

Is there a closed form of $\sum_{i=1}^{n-k} {n-1-i\choose k-1}x^i$ in $x$?

I'm looking for the generating function of the sum $\sum_{i=1}^{n-k} {n-1-i\choose k-1}x^i$. One can compute this using the Euler-MacLauren formula but the remainder term is a little messy. Is there …
