Homework Statement


I want to change the order of triple summation. it follows:
$$\sum^N_{k=0} f(k) \sum^k_{n=0}\sum^{N-k}_{m=0} g(k,n)h(k,m)A(n+m)$$

=>
I need to set the variable x(=n+m) go from 0 to N firstly, and then further go on...
$$\sum^N_{x=0} A(x) \cdots \cdots$$

But, I don't know how... please answer this question.
Thank you very much

let's write it in ordinary english …

k can be anything (up to N), but n must be less than k, and m+k can be anything (up to N)

ok, so how would we write it if we started with m? :wink:

(hmm … are you sure that last N, above the ∑, shouldn't be an n ? :redface:)
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
