AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating the sum of odd powers, specifically the series 1^m + 3^m + 5^m + ... + (2n+1)^m. It highlights the relationship between this sum and the normal sum of integers raised to the power m, noting the involvement of Bernoulli Polynomials. Participants suggest starting the evaluation by expressing (2k+1)^m as a binomial expansion. The conversation emphasizes the importance of breaking down the series into manageable components for calculation. Overall, the evaluation of this sum involves advanced mathematical concepts and techniques.

how can i evaluate the sum $$
1^m+3^m+5^m+ ....................(2n+1)^{m} $$



for the case of the normal sum $$ 1^m +2^m +........................+n^, $$ for positive 'm' i know they are related to the Bernoulli Polynomials

You want to calculate ##\sum_{k=0}^m(2k+1)^m.## Next, ##(2k+1)^m=\sum_{j=0}^m \binom{m}{j}(2k)^j.## I would start with that.
 
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...
