Re: Sum of infinite series - 1/n^2

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on computing the sum of the infinite series SUM(X / (Y^X)), where Y is a constant and X is an increasing sequence. Participants clarify that without specific details about the sequence X, it is impossible to determine the sum of the series. The importance of defining both X and Y is emphasized for accurate computation. The conversation highlights the necessity of understanding the nature of the increasing sequence to proceed with the calculation. Overall, the sum cannot be computed without more information about the variables involved.

Please I have a similar problem, how can I compute the sum of this infinite series:

SUM(X / (Y^X) ); where X(i)>0

Is this your series?

\sum\frac{X}{Y^X} X(i)>0, what is X, what is Y?
 
Y is a constant, while the X's are increasing from zero to infinity
 
Knowing only that Xn is "some" increasing sequence there is no way to find the sum.
