calculate S_p =Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (((−1)^n )/(n(n+1)(n+2)...(n+p))) with p fromN
$${calculate}\:{S}_{{p}} =\sum_{{n}=\mathrm{1}} ^{\infty} \:\:\:\:\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} }{{n}\left({n}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)…\left({n}+{p}\right)}\:\:{with}\:{p}\:{fromN} \\ $$

(1/(n(n+1)(n+2)...(n+p)))=(a_0 /n)+(a_1 /(n+1))+...+(a_p /(n+p)) with a_i =lim_(n→−i) ((n+i)/(n(n+1)...(n+p))) (1/(n(n+1)(n+2)...(n+p)))=Σ_(i=0) ^p (a_i /(n+i)) so S_p =Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (((−1)^n )/(n(n+1)(n+2)...(n+p)))=Σ_(n=1) ^∞ Σ_(i=0) ^p (((−1)^n a_i )/(n+i)) =Σ_(i=0) ^p a_i Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (((−1)^n )/(n+i)) let m=n+i S_n =Σ_(i=0) ^p a_i Σ_(m=i+1) ^∞ (((−1)^(m−i) )/m) =Σ_(i=0) ^∞ a_i (−1)^(−i) (Σ_(m=i+1) ^∞ (((−1)^m )/m)+Σ_(m=1) ^i (((−1)^m )/m)−Σ_(m=1) ^i (((−1)^m )/m)) =Σ_(i=0) ^p (−1)^i a_i (Σ_(m=1) ^∞ (((−1)^m )/m)−Σ_(m=1) ^i (((−1)^m )/m)) note: Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (((−1)^n )/n)=−ln(2) Therefore: S_p =Σ_(i=0) ^p (−1)^i a_i (−ln(2)−Σ_(m=1) ^i (((−1)^m )/m))
