3 AnswersMathematics7 years agoDoes this prove that the sum of the positive integers is -1/12?
S1 = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 .....
-1+S1=-1+1- 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 ....
(S1) + (-1 + S1) = 0+0+0+0... = 0
2S1 = 1 --> S1 = 1/2
S2 = 1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 .....
0+S2=0+1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 ....
0 + 2S2 = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 ... = S1 = 1/2
2S2 = 1/2 --> S2 = 1/4
S = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 ....
S2 = 1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 ....
S-S2 = 0+4 + 0 + 8 + - + 12... = 4S
S - 1/4 = 4S
3S = -1/4
S = -1/12, QED.
It seems that this is central to some theorems in string theory:

11 AnswersPolitics7 years agoWhat are the complex solutions to e^x = 2x?
I know that this is related to the Lambert W() function, which is only defined on the range x >= -1/e, and that x = -W(-1/2) here.

However it seems that there is a system of equations that provides a complex solution to this equation. Does this only have a couple of solutions, or infinitely many? What do they look like?
