Borel "resummation"...

Let be a divergent series:

\sum _{n=0}^{\infty} a(n) (1)

then if you "had" that f(x)= \sum _{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{a(n)}{n!}x^{n}

You could obtain the "sum" of the series (1) as S= \int_{0}^{\infty}dte^{-t}f(t) in case the integral converges...

- Yes that's "beatiful" the problem is ..what happens if the coefficients a(n) are complicate?..then how can you obtain the sum of the series?...

- By the way i think that Borel resummation can be applied if f(t)=O(e^{Mt}) M>0, but what happens if f(t) grows faster than any positive exponential?.. :cry:

If ##f(x)## is "complicated", then there will be only a numerical integration possible. And if ##f(x)## grows faster than exponential, then the integral likely does not converge.
