Kempner Series
The Kempner series is a modification of the harmonic series, formed by omitting all terms whose denominator expressed in base 10 contains the digit 9. That is, it is the sum : \frac where the prime indicates that ''n'' takes only values whose decimal expansion has no nines. The series was first studied by A. J. Kempner in 1914. The series is counterintuitive because, unlike the harmonic series, it converges. Kempner showed the sum of this series is less than 90. Baillie showed that, rounded to 20 decimals, the actual sum is . Heuristically, this series converges because most large integers contain every digit. For example, a random 100-digit integer is very likely to contain at least one '9', causing it to be excluded from the above sum. Schmelzer and Baillie found an efficient algorithm for the more general problem of any omitted string of digits. For example, the sum of where ''n'' has no instances of "42" is about . Another example: the sum of where ''n'' has no occurren ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
