Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around rewriting a mathematical expression involving a double summation in terms of the Riemann zeta function, ##\zeta(x)##. Participants are seeking clarity on how to express the second summation and its relation to ##\zeta(x)##, while addressing issues with LaTeX formatting.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation, Mathematical reasoning, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant asks how to rewrite the expression $$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^x} *(\displaystyle\sum_{k \in S, \mathbb{Z}\S =n})$$ in terms of ##\zeta(x)## to avoid repetition.
- Another participant points out the need to clarify what is being summed in the second term before simplification can occur.
- A later reply corrects the notation in the expression, indicating that ##\mathbb{Z} \S =n## should be treated as ##\mathbb{Z}##\S = n, while also providing a corrected version of the summation that includes an additional term involving ##\frac{1}{k^{yi}}##.
- Multiple participants express issues with LaTeX formatting, suggesting improvements for clarity.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree that clarification is needed regarding the second summation before any simplification can be made. However, there is no consensus on how to proceed with rewriting the expression in terms of ##\zeta(x)##.
Contextual Notes
Limitations include unclear definitions of the set S and the specific nature of the summation involved in the second term, which affects the ability to simplify the expression fully.
