HI, does anyone know a decent site where I can find a few product identities? I googled it, but all that came up were trig identities. I am not looking for those; I am specifically looking for product of a sequence identities: ∏

Those are quite interesting, but not what I am looking for. I mean if there are any sites that post a full list of identities, not just specific ones. That would be very helpful.

It's an interesting question what would constitute a "non-trivial" product identity. An additive identity \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} X_i = Y implies a product identity \prod_{i=1}^{\infty} e^{x_i} = e^Y. A product identity that had negative factors could not be converted back into an additive identity by taking logarithms, but there might be some other methods of transformation that would revert it to an additive identity.
 
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...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
