im in the medal of coding and i reached the point where i have something like this, enter image description here

the problem is i have up to 35 terms and all should be index in order to preform summation to count all possibilities, is there any automatic way to generate as variable index as much as i want ? also is there any way to fill all the summations automatically ?

thanks

  • $\begingroup$ Are you looking for Table[Subscript[u, Unique["x"]], 35], or maybe Array[Subscript[u, x[#]] &, 35]? (Subscript could be replaced by Indexed.) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ actually i want 35 term of u[x] with variable index, so i can do summation. in the pic its only 3 terms i need 32 term extra each term will have summation with same index letters $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, I should have written it this way: Table[Subscript[u, Unique["x"]][t], 35], and Array[Subscript[u, x[#]][t] &, 35]. For instance for the latter, the sum iterators are the x[1], ..., x[35]. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ the table command did not work, what about the summation ? $\endgroup$

You could use $ii[1]$, $ii[2]$, $ii[3]$ etc instead of $ii$, $kk$, $ll$:

expr = Product[Indexed[u, ii[i]][t], {i, 3}];

Sum[expr, ##] & @@ Array[{ii[#], jj} &, 3]

  • $\begingroup$ what about making it start from 1? this will generate the terms what about making it start from 1? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @LoveEva, it implicitly starts from 1 but if you want it explicit use {ii[#], 1, jj} in the Array $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ final thing, im using mathematica 7 and this command is only available in advanced versions of the program is there any alternative way in 7? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @LoveEva, you can use Subscript instead of Indexed. Or just make the index an argument of u, as in u[ii[3], t] $\endgroup$

If you really have that simple structure, exploit it:

Clear[u]
jj = 4;
Times @@ (Total /@ Array[u, {3, jj}])
