What is the Kinetic Energy Formula and its Theorem?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Kinetic Energy Formula and its associated theorem, which is derived from specific mathematical functions. The functions defined include f(n) = (2^(n-1)a) Mod (a+b), g(n) = 4f(n) - 2(a+b) + 1, and h(n) = Sign(f(n))(Sign(g(n)) + 1). The theorem states that as n approaches infinity, the sum of h(k)(1/2)^(k+1) converges to a/(a+b), where n, a, and b are positive integers.

This theorem (if it is proven) comes also from a formula of kinetic energy.
Has anyone some suggestions about this one.

Definition of f(n):

<br /> \ f(n)=(2^{n-1}a)Mod(a+b) <br />

Definition of g(n):

\<br /> \ g(n)= 4f(n)-2(a+b)+1<br />

Definition of h(n):

<br /> \ h(n)= Sign(f(n))(Sign(g(n))+1) <br />

Theorem:

<br /> \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{n}{h(k)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{k+1}} = \frac{a}{(a+b)} <br />

Thank you for trying.
