Category: Lisp Core - Solving equations Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Cesar Agustin Garcia-Vazquez (cesarnda) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Error computing a sum Initial Comment: If I compute: (%i6) load(simplify_sum); (%o6) /opt/sage/local/share/maxima/5.16.3/share/contrib/solve_rec/simplify_sum.ma c (%i7) simplify_sum(sum(1/(x*(x+1)),x,1,inf)); (%o7) 1 it works perfectly fine, but it turns out that if I do: (%i8) simplify_sum(sum(1/x - 1/(x+1),x,1,inf)); I get an error that the sum is divergent, even though 1/x - 1/(x+1) = 1/(x*(x+1)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=104933&aid=2272679&group_id=4933 |
