an empty sum, or nullary sum, is a summation where the number of terms is zero. The natural way to extend non-empty sums is to let the empty sum be the...

one is inevitably led to the convention that the sum of the elements of the empty set (the empty sum) is zero. The reason for this is that zero is the...

just as the empty sum—the result of adding no numbers—is by convention zero, or the additive identity. When numbers are implied, the empty product becomes...

that the sum ∑ x = i j A [ x ] {\displaystyle \sum _{x=i}^{j}A[x]} is as large as possible. (Some formulations of the problem also allow the empty subarray...

addends or summands; the result is their sum or total. Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials...

method, such as l'Hôpital's rule. The sum of 0 numbers (the empty sum) is 0, and the product of 0 numbers (the empty product) is 1. The factorial 0! evaluates...

T'} must be empty. Now assume (again without loss of generality) that S ′ {\displaystyle S'} is empty. Then S ′ {\displaystyle S'} has sum 0, and so must...

The empty product on numbers and most algebraic structures has the value of 1 (the identity element of multiplication), just like the empty sum has the...

(origin) belongs to all conical hulls (since the summation becomes an empty sum). The conical hull of a set S is a convex set. In fact, it is the intersection...

index set I is finite. If I is empty, then the left sum is the empty sum and therefore 0, while the right product is the empty product and therefore 1.) Kőnig's...

For n = 0 this is just the assumed integral inequality, because the empty sum is defined as zero. Induction step from n to n + 1: Inserting the assumed...
