Partial sums of geometric series #
This file determines the values of the geometric series $\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} x^i$ and
$\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} x^i y^{n-1-i}$ and variants thereof. We also provide some bounds on the
"geometric" sum of a/b^i where a b : ℕ.
Main statements #
geom_sum_Icoproves that $\sum_{i=m}^{n-1} x^i=\frac{x^n-x^m}{x-1}$ in a division ring.geom_sum₂_Icoproves that $\sum_{i=m}^{n-1} x^iy^{n - 1 - i}=\frac{x^n-y^{n-m}x^m}{x-y}$ in a field.
Several variants are recorded, generalising in particular to the case of a noncommutative ring in
which x and y commute. Even versions not using division or subtraction, valid in each semiring,
are recorded.
