for questions about sequences and series, e.g. convergence, closed form expressions, etc. Note that there is a different tag for spectral sequences, and also note that MathOverflow is not for homework. Please consider consulting the online encyclopedia for integer sequences, if you are trying to identify a given sequence that you have found in your research.

Has anyone characterized the zeroes of the Bell numbers?
I was reading this post about the Bell Numbers where users Lucian and Vladimir Reshetnikov give us Dobiński's formula for the Bell numbers
$$ B(x) = \frac{1}{e} \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{k^x}{k!}. $$

Is anything known about the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^{\sqrt{n}} $?
It's well known that there are a shocking number of identities for the usual Jacobi theta function $$ \theta_3(x) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} x^{n^2}. $$
So I wanted to turn my attention to slowly dec …

Generating a series representation for the inverse of the operator $f(f)$
I am considering the following problem:
Suppose you are given a function $u: C \rightarrow C$, find a function $g$ such that $g(g) = u$ (Let's assume that such a function exists). And by "find", I …

Simplifying closed form for Meta Operator
I was consider the set of linear operators:
$$O_{a,k} = \frac{f(ax^k) - f(x)}{ax^k - x} $$'
Particularly I am looking for the closed forms of the eigenfunctions of this operator, that is the functi …

Any known relations to this doubly exponential constant?
Two years back I was working with lacunary series. In my explorations I had derived that the following series is periodic with period 1:
$$ f(x)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left[ e^{2^{x+n}} \right] + x - \ …

How to determine the asymptotics of $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} e^{-\frac{2^n}{x}}$
I'm generally interested in being able to find an asymptotic expansion of
$$ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left[ e^{- \frac{f(n)}{x}} \right] $$
As $x \rightarrow \infty$ and $f(n)$ is a smooth monotonically i …

Can we just use the linear term of exponential sums to sum divergent series
Suppose you want to compute the sum $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n $
You could consider the expression $f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} e^{a_n x}$ and try to compute the coefficient of an $x^1$ term in the asymp …

Evaluating the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} n! x^n$ and inverse variable-fractional-derivatives
So I was interested in formally assigning values to the completely divergent series $G(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} n!x^n $. I guess the question COULD end here if you already have an idea of how to tackl …

Is there a recurrence for the coefficients of the Laurent series expansion of $\frac{1}{1-e^...
So there's an elementary (but in my opinion quite interesting!) result which is that the Laurent series expansion of
$$\frac{1}{1-e^x} = -\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{12}x - \frac{1}{720}x^3 \ …

A limit arising from Mellin Inversion: How to compute a specific term of an asymptotic series?
So I am wondering if there exists a general procedure for the following problem:
given a monotonically increasing function $f(n)$ which is nonegative on the interval $[0,\infty)$ and grows faster than …

So a while back I was on the internet and had encountered a website containing an experimental search for identities for $\pi$. My memory was that the page belonged to either Jonathan Sondow or Micha …
