Infinite series

The outset 4 partial sums of i + 2 + 4 + 8 + ⋯.

In mathematics, 1 + ii + 4 + 8 + ⋯ is the infinite series whose terms are the successive powers of two. Equally a geometric serial, it is characterized past its get-go term, i, and its common ratio, 2. Every bit a series of real numbers it diverges to infinity, so in the usual sense it has no sum. In a much broader sense, the series is associated with another value besides ∞, namely −ane, which is the limit of the serial using the ii-adic metric.

Summation [edit]

The partial sums of ${\displaystyle 1+2+4+8+\cdots }$ are ${\displaystyle 1,three,7,15,\ldots ;}$ since these diverge to infinity, and so does the series.

$${\displaystyle 2^{0}+two^{1}+\cdots +2^{yard}=2^{k+ane}-1}$$

Therefore, whatever totally regular summation method gives a sum of infinity, including the Cesàro sum and Abel sum.^[one] On the other manus, there is at least i generally useful method that sums ${\displaystyle 1+2+four+8+\cdots }$ to the finite value of −1. The associated ability serial

$${\displaystyle f(x)=1+2x+4x^{two}+8x^{3}+\cdots +2^{n}{}x^{n}+\cdots ={\frac {1}{1-2x}}}$$

has a radius of convergence around 0 of merely ${\displaystyle {\frac {i}{2}}}$ so it does not converge at ${\displaystyle x=i.}$ However, the so-divers function ${\displaystyle f}$ has a unique analytic continuation to the circuitous aeroplane with the bespeak ${\displaystyle 10={\frac {1}{2}}}$ deleted, and it is given past the same dominion ${\displaystyle f(x)={\frac {one}{1-2x}}.}$ Since ${\displaystyle f(1)=-i,}$ the original series ${\displaystyle 1+two+4+8+\cdots }$ is said to exist summable (E) to −1, and −i is the (E) sum of the series. (The note is due to G. H. Hardy in reference to Leonhard Euler's arroyo to divergent series).^[ii]

An well-nigh identical approach (the one taken by Euler himself) is to consider the power series whose coefficients are all 1, that is,

$${\displaystyle 1+y+y^{2}+y^{3}+\cdots ={\frac {1}{one-y}}}$$

and plugging in ${\displaystyle y=ii.}$ These two series are related past the exchange ${\displaystyle y=2x.}$

The fact that (E) summation assigns a finite value to ${\displaystyle 1+2+4+viii+\cdots }$ shows that the general method is non totally regular. On the other manus, it possesses some other desirable qualities for a summation method, including stability and linearity. These latter two axioms actually force the sum to be −1, since they make the following manipulation valid:

${\displaystyle {\begin{assortment}{rcl}s&=&\displaystyle 1+two+iv+viii+16+\cdots \\&=&\displaystyle 1+two(1+2+iv+8+\cdots )\\&=&\displaystyle 1+2s\end{assortment}}}$

In a useful sense, ${\displaystyle s=\infty }$ is a root of the equation ${\displaystyle s=1+2s.}$ (For example, ${\displaystyle \infty }$ is one of the two fixed points of the Möbius transformation ${\displaystyle z\mapsto one+2z}$ on the Riemann sphere). If some summation method is known to return an ordinary number for ${\displaystyle s}$ ; that is, not ${\displaystyle \infty ,}$ then it is hands determined. In this case ${\displaystyle due south}$ may be subtracted from both sides of the equation, yielding ${\displaystyle 0=1+s,}$ and then ${\displaystyle due south=-one.}$ ^[3]

The above manipulation might be called on to produce −one outside the context of a sufficiently powerful summation procedure. For the most well-known and straightforward sum concepts, including the fundamental convergent one, it is absurd that a series of positive terms could take a negative value. A similar miracle occurs with the divergent geometric series ${\displaystyle 1-one+one-ane+\cdots }$ (Grandi's series), where a series of integers appears to have the non-integer sum ${\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2}}.}$ These examples illustrate the potential danger in applying like arguments to the series unsaid by such recurring decimals as ${\displaystyle 0.111\ldots }$ and most notably ${\displaystyle 0.999\ldots }$ . The arguments are ultimately justified for these convergent series, implying that ${\displaystyle 0.111\ldots ={\frac {1}{9}}}$ and ${\displaystyle 0.999\ldots =1,}$ but the underlying proofs demand conscientious thinking about the interpretation of endless sums.^[4]

It is also possible to view this series equally convergent in a number system different from the existent numbers, namely, the 2-adic numbers. Equally a series of ii-adic numbers this series converges to the aforementioned sum, −1, every bit was derived above by analytic continuation.^[v]
