I'm extending a note, which I posted to sci.math.research today. I hope to find a solution of the problem by a reconsideration of the structure of the matrix of stirlingnumbers 1'st kind, which may contain "Infinitesimals" which become significant if infinite summing of its powers are assumed. ------------------------------- (text is a bit edited) ----------------- Due to a counterexample by Prof. Edgar (see sci.math) I have to withdraw this conjecture. The error may essentially be due to a misconception about the matrix of Stirling-numbers 1'st kind and the infinite series of its powers. ---- It is perhaps similar to the problem of the infinite series of powers of the pascal-matrix P, which could be cured by assuming a non-neglectable infinitesimal in the first upper subdiagonal Assuming for an entry $p_{r,r+1}$ of the first upper subdiagonal in row r (r beginning at zero) in the pascal matrix P $\hspace{24} p_{r,r+1} = binomial(r,r+1)$ which is an infinitesimal quantity and appears as zero in all usual applications of P. But if applied in a operation including infinite series of consecutive powers, then in the matrix Z, containing this sum of all consecutive powers of P we get the entries $\hspace{24} z_{r,r+1} = binomial(r,r+1)* \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac1k$ By defining $\hspace{24} binomial(r,r+1) = \frac{r!}{(r+1)!(-1)!} = \frac1{(r+1)*(-1)!}$ assuming $\frac{\zeta(1)}{(-1)!} = - 1$ this leads to the non-neglectable rational quantities in that subdiagonal of the sum-matrix $\hspace{24} \begin{eqnarray} z_{r,r+1}& = &\frac1{(r+1)* (-1)!} * \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac1k \\ & = &\frac1{(r+1)} * \frac{\zeta(1)}{(-1)!} \\ & = & - \frac1{(r+1)} \end{eqnarray}$ With that correction the infinite series of powers of the pascal-matrix leads then to a correct matrix, $\hspace{24} z_{r,c} = binomial(r,c)* \zeta(c-r)$ including the above definitions for the first upper subdiagonal, which provides the coefficients of the (integrals of) the bernoulli-polynomials, and can be used to express sums of like powers as expected and described by H.Faulhaber and J.Bernoulli. (for more details see powerseries of P, page 13 ff ) --- This suggests then to reconsider the matrix of Stirling-numbers of 1'st kind with the focus of existence of a similar structure in there. ------------------------------------------------------- Does this sound reasonable? It would require a description of the matrix of Stirling-numbers 1'st kind, which allows such an infinitesimal quantity. But there is one important remark: this matrix contains the coefficients of the series for logarithm and powers of logarithms. A modification of this matrix would then introduce an additional term in the definition of these series. Something hazardeous... Gottfried Helms, Kassel « Next Oldest | Next Newest »
