We define a special triangular array of numbers from which we can obtain the formula for nested summation of natural numbers at any particular power. Binomial coefficients play a key role in nesting. Our framework is very simple to understand.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-27T06:15:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "40B05", "40B99" ], "keywords": [ "natural numbers", "generalized nested summation", "special triangular array", "binomial coefficients play", "general framework" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
