Generalized Nested Summation of Powers of Natural Numbers

Number Theory 2019-06-27 v4

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a general framework for obtaining the formula for nested summation of powers of natural numbers. We define a special triangular array of numbers from which we can obtain the formula for nested summation of natural numbers at any particular power. Binomial coefficients play a key role in nesting. Our framework is very simple to understand.
