Product of a sequence identities

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding resources for product of a sequence identities, specifically seeking comprehensive lists rather than specific examples like trigonometric identities. Users shared links to Wikipedia pages, including the Wallis product and other formulas involving π, but these did not meet the original request for a full list. The conversation also touches on the complexity of defining "non-trivial" product identities and their relationship to additive identities. A user eventually shared a link to a site that appears to contain useful information on infinite product identities. Overall, the thread highlights the challenge of locating extensive resources on this specific mathematical topic.

HI, does anyone know a decent site where I can find a few product identities? I googled it, but all that came up were trig identities. I am not looking for those; I am specifically looking for product of a sequence identities: ∏

Those are quite interesting, but not what I am looking for. I mean if there are any sites that post a full list of identities, not just specific ones. That would be very helpful.

It's an interesting question what would constitute a "non-trivial" product identity. An additive identity \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} X_i = Y implies a product identity \prod_{i=1}^{\infty} e^{x_i} = e^Y. A product identity that had negative factors could not be converted back into an additive identity by taking logarithms, but there might be some other methods of transformation that would revert it to an additive identity.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
