How can I prove that:



$$sum_{mgeq n}^infty frac{(lambda (1-p)t)^m}{(m-n)!}=((1-p)lambda t)^n e^{(1-p)lambda t}$$

  • Is $n$ a free choice, or should you be considering $sum_n sum_{m geq n} ldots$?

I am interpreting $m-n!$ as $(m-n)!$. Just change the variable from $m$ to $j=m-n$. Let $x=lambda (1-p)t$. You will get $sum_{j=1}^{infty} frac {x^{j+n}} {j!}$. Pull out $x^{n}$ and use the series for $e^{x}$.

            When does type information flow backwards in C++?

            Image
            up vote 62 down vote favorite 19 I just watched Stephan T. Lavavej talk at CppCon 2018 on "Class Template Argument Deduction", where at some point he incidentally says: In C++ type information almost never flows backwards ... I had to say "almost" because there's one or two cases, possibly more but very few . Despite trying to figure out which cases he might be referring to, I couldn't come up with anything. Hence the question: In which cases the C++17 standard mandates that type information propagate backwards? c++ language-lawyer c++17 share | improve this question edited 7 hours ago scohe0
