Re: [Maxima-discuss] Asymptotic Analysis

[Aritram D. <ari...@gm...>]

Sorry, I stated the problem in a different way. As of now, I have the
coefficients of the power series as a sequence of integers and we are
trying to compute the closed form of the nth coefficient say a(n). On the
other hand, I have the nth term of the infinite series which is n*(2^(n-3))
(=b(n)). I have to prove a(n) ~ b(n). I am sorry I cannot state the exact
problem since I am working on it as part of an undergraduate
research project. Can this be done using Maxima?

Thanks!
Aritram
