Hi all,

I made a short video on some nice observations about Power Sums of the form 1^n+2^n+3^n+.....+m^n and how to calculate formulae for them.

I hope this will be useful for some.

Let me know if you enjoyed the video and feedback / any questions in the comments below.

Hope you all have a good day! :)

Can you add practice problem for this topic? This topic is way beyond my rating but I have a keen love for math since years.

At 12:30 in the video, you claimed that,

$$$ \displaystyle \sum_{r=2}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{r} (-1)^r \sum_{k=1}^{m} k^{n+1-r} $$$

is a polynomial of degree n in m.

But shouldn't it be a polynomial of degree n+1 in m. Consider the following:

$$$ \displaystyle \sum_{r=0}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{r} m^r = (1+m)^{n+1} $$$

which is actually a polynomial of degree n+1.

Also, where is the final formula to get the required sum for $$$ \displaystyle m>=10^9 $$$ in $$$ \displaystyle O(n) $$$ ?

    ig for the final sum we gotta use faulhaber polynomials. that would require counting for bernoulli numbers first

    The final formula usually is just using the fact that it's a polynomial to do polynomial interpolation.

    Please note that the one you described is essentially different as the highest degree of m in your case will be n+1 (as r goes from 0 to n+1) but in the formulae described at 12:30 (the power of k is n+1-r) so the max power of k will be when r=2 i.e n+1-2 = n-1 and thus the sum over k will be a polynomial of degree n (1 more than the power) in m and not n+1 and C(n+1,r) (r goes from 2 to n+1) does not depend on m, hence this will not change the degree of the polynomial

    Using this method as it is described in the video I don't think so you can compute this in O(n), You can do something on the order of n^2 with this.

    There are other ways for example Lagrange interpolation using which you can calculate it faster, I will upload a video later on this.

      Ok understood.

      I was actually thinking that even if you considered the second summation to be equal to 1. Even then the final answer would be $$$2^{n+1} +$$$ some constant. I was just focusing on the maximum power of $$$n$$$ occurring there and forgot the fact that the polynomial was a function of m.

I realized that I used NTT to calculate Stiring numbers, then to get the answer. But Lagrange Interpolation doesn't need to deal with any of Stiring. It's faster and shorter.
