Is there a name for this series?












3












$begingroup$


I am doing a presentation on nonlinear optics and I ran into a paper that uses a series to describe a wave equation of a system. The paper will be linked below and the series is:



$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(-i)^{n-1}}{n!}k^n$



I mostly am looking for what i should call this other than "series." The equations are presented on pg. 1-2, eqns. 1a, 1b, and 1c (all are the same thing for 3 different waves).



http://www.few.vu.nl/~switte/papers/OPCPA_review_published_early_edition.pdf



EDIT: The full equation is



$frac{partial A}{partial z}+sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(-i)^{n-1}}{n!}k^n frac{partial^{n} A}{partial t^{n}}=-i frac{chi^{(2)}omega}{2nc}AA^{*}e^{-iDelta textbf{k}cdot textbf{z}}$



so it may just be simpler to discuss it in terms of what each portion does rather than by mathematical terminology..

$$sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{(-ik)^n}{(-i),n!}=i(e^{-ik}-1)=i(cos k-1-isin k).$$




This can be rewritten as



$$2icosfrac k2left(cosfrac k2-isinfrac k2right)=2icosfrac k2e^{-ik/2}$$ but there is little benefit.

    $$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty frac{(-i)^{n-1}}{n!}k^n=sumlimits_{n=1}^infty frac{(-i)(-i)^{n-1}}{(-i)n!}k^n=frac{1}{-i}sumlimits_{n=1}^inftyfrac{(-i)^n}{n!}k^n=i(e^{k}-1).$$ So I would say yes it is known and there is a name for it -- exponential function.

    $begingroup$

    Think the name of the function is "Exponential generating function (EGF)" see Wikipedia.



    $sumlimits_{n=1}^infty ik_n frac{(-i)^n}{n!}=EGF(ik_n,-i)-ik(0)$

      The formula in the question is with $k^n$, not $k_n$. And that in the paper is with $k^{(n)}$, which is quite different.

      No, this is like saying that the name of the function $cos$ is "trigonometric function". Exponential generating functions are just a type of generating function. These are a collection of methods for manipulating series by treating the terms of the series as coefficients in something like a Taylor series and then manipulating the function represented by that series, instead of the original series of numbers.

      $begingroup$
      @DavidRicherby I guess you are right, but don't be too hard on JV. Recognizing this as an EGF could be useful in the process of identifying the function, just like noticing that something is a trigonometric function can be useful in precisely determining which function it is.

              @celani99 I saw the OPCPA article, are you sure $k^n=k^{(n)}$? "The k(n) - terms are the nth order dispersion coefficients of the medium" I think k is depends on somehow from n.

              No, this is like saying that the name of the function $cos$ is "trigonometric function". Exponential generating functions are just a type of generating function. These are a collection of methods for manipulating series by treating the terms of the series as coefficients in something like a Taylor series and then manipulating the function represented by that series, instead of the original series of numbers.

            How to label and detect the document text images

            Image
            1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C

            Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet.
