A Symbolic Operator Approach to Several Summation Formulas for Power Series
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics
(2005)
Abstract
This paper deals with the summation problem of power series of the form Sba (f; x) = ∑a ≤ k ≤ b f(k) xk, where 0≤ a < b ≤ ∞, and {f(k)} is a given sequence of numbers with k Є [a, b) or f(t) is a differentiable function defined on [a, b). We present a symbolic summation operator with its various expansions, and construct several summation formulas with estimable remainders for Sba (f; x), by the aid of some classical interpolation series due to Newton, Gauss and Everett, respectively.
