Problem
(a) Use standard results from the list of formulae (MF19) to find r=1∑n(r3−r) in terms of n, fully factorising your answer.
(3)
(b) Express r3−rr+3 in the form r−1A+rB+r+1C, where A, B and C are constants to be determined, and hence use the method of differences to find r=2∑nr3−rr+3.
(5)
(c) Deduce the value of r=2∑∞r3−rr+3.

题目中文翻译
(a) 利用公式表(MF19)中的标准结果,求 r=1∑n(r3−r),用 n 表示,并将答案完全因式分解。
(3)
(b) 将 r3−rr+3 表示为 r−1A+rB+r+1C 的形式,其中 A、B 和 C 是待求的常数,并由此利用差分法求 r=2∑nr3−rr+3。
(5)
(c) 由此推得 r=2∑∞r3−rr+3 的值。

先按三个线性因子分式分解;求和后中间每项的系数合计为零,首尾留下四项。

Since r3−r=(r−1)r(r+1), the partial fractions require
r+3=Ar(r+1)+B(r−1)(r+1)+C(r−1)r.
Setting r=1,0,−1 gives A=2, B=−3, C=1. Thus
r3−rr+3=r−12−r3+r+11.
For n≥7, the first and last three terms display the cancellation below. For 2≤n≤6, directly cancelling the corresponding terms gives the same result. Hence, by the method of differences,
r=2∑nr3−rr+3=(2−23+31)+(22−33+41)+(32−43+51)+⋯+(n−32−n−23+n−11)+(n−22−n−13+n1)+(n−12−n3+n+11).
The interior coefficients cancel because 2−3+1=0. The remaining terms give
r=2∑nr3−rr+3==2+2−3+2+n1−3+n+1123−n2+n+11.
