Hi,

I would like to express the following formula in terms of a straightforward multinomial expansion:

(Σ^{m}_{i=0}x(i)*Σ^{i}_{j=0}x(i,j))^n

Any help would be useful.

Would you explain the notation? What is $x(i)$, are you multiplying the two sums?
 
Ok, I redifine the expression:

(Σ^{m}_{i=0}x^i*Σ^{i}_{j=0}y^j)^n, where x,y are nonnegative real numbers and m,n are nonnegative integers
 
(Σ^{m}_{i=0}x^i*Σ^{i}_{j=0}y^j)^n

It is easier to read as latex. I don't understand what you are looking for. My guess:

y sum is \frac{1-y^{i+1}}{1-y}

You can now get i sum to get (\frac{f(x)-yf(xy)}{1-y})^n\ where\ f(u)=\frac{1-u^{m+1}}{1-u}
