Is there any numerical technique to sum x^(n^alpha), n=0,1,...?

I've come across this infinite series: $\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^{n^\alpha}$, with $0<x<1$ and $\alpha > 0$. Does this series have a name and/or is there a method for computing it (besides brute force, o …

Can we find an l-2 sequence if we know all l-p norms?

I'm wondering if there is a way to approximate the first $M$ terms of a non-increasing $\ell^2$ sequence $\{c_n\}$ if we know $|c|_p^p = \sum c_n^p$ for $p=2,3,4,\dots$? I've tried truncating the …

Can we find an l-2 sequence if we know all l-p norms?

Sorry to answer my own question, but having thought about it more, I realize this is impossible unless you have arbitrarily high precision for all the $|c|_p$'s. The reason is, as $p$ grows, the lead …
