  • Abstract
    A particularly simple procedure for evaluating the power series Sum\\min{n=0}\\max {\\infty } n^{k}x^{n} , where k is a nonnegative integer, is presented. A general formula for the sum of the above series is given in which the required coefficients are obtained from a matrix which is constructed by inspection. One area of application is shown to be the evaluation of Z -transfer functions.
