| 21. | These latter names come from the study of the generating function for the sequence.
|
| 22. | This umbral exponential thus amounts to the exponential generating function of the Pochhammer symbols.
|
| 23. | The sum of this infinite series is the generating function.
|
| 24. | In your case, using generating functions seems a reasonable way for treating the sums.
|
| 25. | And is clearly very closely related to the cumulant generating function for the energy.
|
| 26. | Clearly the orbits do not intersect and we may add the respective generating functions.
|
| 27. | So, let's try to find the solution using generating functions.
|
| 28. | Since the generating function for a ^ n is
|
| 29. | Similar asymptotic analysis is possible for exponential generating functions.
|
| 30. | Expressions for the ordinary generating function of other sequences are easily derived from this one.
