Re: What do you think?

I do not know that. But, why would you need to?

Re: What do you think?

I would like a closed form if possible for that series.

Mind if I ask why you came to this page in the OEIS?

Re: What do you think?

I looked at his probabilities and compared them to mine, and I saw that they were always almost the same, except for a factor. So I calculated the first few factors and found that they matched that sequence on OEIS. Why?

Re: What do you think?

Okay, I was just wondering.

I can get a somewhat closed form for T[5,n] but it is ugly and too complicated you will have to go with the series or the gf.

I will test your 4 conjecture now by simulation.

Re: What do you think?

I think it will be easier to extract the coefficient from the GF.

Tell me when you finish the simulations.

Re: What do you think?

Hi;

I got 11.216568 for 1 million, this is very close to your answer. What do you get for 5?

Re: What do you think?

Hi,

I believe it is;


which matches for n=2,3,4,5

Perhaps we can extract a closed form for that..

3.774691358024691358024691358024691358025, which agrees with the dice pdf.

Re: What do you think?

I do not know? Can we send it to that guy?

I have found the formula for general number of wanted appearences (not just for 2, 3, 4 and 5):

f(k):=sum(i*(i-k)!/(6^(i-1))*binomial(i-1,k-1)*coeff(ratexpand((sum(x^j/j!,j,0,k-1))^5),x^(i-k)),i,k,6*k-5);

Hi gAr;

I did not see you up there, watch out becuase our latex is damaged and does not display plus signs.

Didn't see his post either. Looks like gAr and I got the same formula.

Re: What do you think?

Hi;

Yes, I can send it or you can send it. Of course it would be with your name on it. Your final form looks like gAr's.

Hi bobbym

You can send it, but before sending it, please send it to me (in a PM or right here).

Re: What do you think?

Hi anonimnystefy and bobbym,

Yes, the final form is the same. I was thinking about egfs and anonimnystefy had a form already. So I started working from there. Maybe we can try for a closed form for some time.
It's late here, see you after a few hours.

Re: What do you think?

Hi;

I think you should post it first right under where I talk about it in the other thread. That will establish the date.

How will we get latex to him in an email?

Hi gAr

Maybe you guys can get an asymptotic form if all else fails...

See you later!

Hi bobbym

Which thread?
