      <title>Conjecture MRBK9.91</title>
      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/89030-MRB-Constant-K-Part-2?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:MRB constant K part 2:Comments#comment89168</link>
      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 7.5pt;"&gt;A reminder: If a function is differentiable at some point c of its domain, then it is also continuous at c. However here we extend the notion of differentiability to be valid for individual points on the real number line, specifically positive integers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;f(n)=(-1)^n*n^(1/n)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;According to Theorem MRBK 4.0,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When n is a positve integer, the derivative of f(n) is I*Pi*f+(1-ln(n))*f/n^2 = f*(I*Pi+(1-ln(n))/n^2)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;or f'(x) = f(x)*(I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But by following Example MRBK 9.2,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;we understand that sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x)-sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x-1)&amp;nbsp; = (1)^x*x^(1/x) =f(x)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At x&amp;isin;{1,2,3,...}, the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) is f(x)*(I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2) and the chnge in the summing of all the positive integers from x-1 to x is f(x).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thus by&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;Corollary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; MRBK 9.05 for &lt;/span&gt;f(n)=(-1)^n*n^(1/n)&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; I have&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hypothesis&lt;strong&gt; 9.90:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The instantaneous rate of change of f(x) equals the chnge in the summing of all the positive integers, from x-1 to x, all times (I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At n=x:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;f'(n)=(I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2)*&lt;span&gt;(sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x)-sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x-1))&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;f'(n)/(I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2) = &lt;span&gt;(sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x)-sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x-1))&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conjecture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; 9.91:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x) =&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x-1) + &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;f'(n)/(I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2)&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Theorem MRBK 10.0</title>
      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/89030-MRB-Constant-K-Part-2?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:MRB constant K part 2:Comments#comment89323</link>
      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="mainBody document"&gt;&amp;nbsp;f(n)=(-1)^n* n^(1/n)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Theorem MRBK 10.0:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For f over the set of positive intgers:&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n),   n = 1 .. x) =&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n), n =  1 .. x-1)     + &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;f'(x)/(I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proof:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By &lt;span class="mainBody document"&gt;THEOREM MRBK 8.0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;f'(x)=&lt;span class="mainBody document"&gt;I*Pi*f+(1-ln(x))*f/x^2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x) = sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x-1) + f'(x) / (I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2),&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;﻿&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;concluding that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n),     n = 1 .. x) =&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n), n =  1   .. x-1)  +f.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While COROLLARY  9.05 says&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sum(f(n), n = 1 ..  x)-(sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x-1)) = f(x)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which is the same as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n),      n = 1 .. x) =&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n), n =  1   .. x-1)  +f.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Example MRBK10.5</title>
      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/89030-MRB-Constant-K-Part-2?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:MRB constant K part 2:Comments#comment89567</link>
      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example MRBK10.5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n),  n =  1 .. 999)=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;-.815607688 and f'(1000)=-0.5948705883e-5+3.163369134*I&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using theorem 10.0, find &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n),   n =  1 .. 1000)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By theorem 10.0,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n),    n = 1 .. x) =&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n), n =  1 .. x-1)     + &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;f'(x)/(I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;So&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n),     n = 1 .. 1000) =&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.815607688 &lt;/span&gt;+(-0.5948705883e-5+3.163369134*I)/(I*Pi+(1-ln(1000))/1000^2)=.191323979+2.051982038*10^(-16)*I&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Verify:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;sum(f(n),    n =  1 .. 1000)=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;0.191323979&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;which is the same as shown above, to machine precision in the complex plane.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before I move on to using Theorem MRBk10.0 in MRB constant L, I wonder if there are any questions about or objections to how I wrote MRBk10.0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I should have clarified</title>
      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/89030-MRB-Constant-K-Part-2?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:MRB constant K part 2:Comments#comment89596</link>
      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="mainBody document"&gt;In &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="89030-MRB-Constant-K-Part-2#comment89323"&gt;Theorem  MRBK 10.0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I proved that for f(n)=(-1)^n* n^(1/n)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x) = sum(f(n), n = 1 .. x-1) + f'(x)/(I*Pi+(1-ln(x))/x^2)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;﻿However, I should have clarified that f' is derivative of the function, (-1)^x*x^(1.x) defined over real numbers,x.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I really would like some feedback, (even if it is criticism,) before I move on to MRB constant L. I know a lot of people have read this blog but I have seen little opinion about it (only one thumbs down, which I don't mind). Let me know what you think, and thanks!&lt;/p&gt;
