Talk:Multiplicative sequence

Article must make clear what its symbols represent

In the Definition section, it is stated that p₁, p₂, p₃, ... are indeterminates. But it is left entirely unstated what p'₁, p'₂, p'₃, ... and p"₁, p"₂, p"₃, ... are.

If we assume that they are also indeterminates, then the first equation:

$\sum _{i}p_{i}z^{i}=\sum _{i}p'_{i}z^{i}\cdot \sum _{i}p''_{i}z^{i}$

and the second equation:

$\sum _{i}K_{i}(p_{1},\ldots ,p_{i})z^{i}=\sum _{j}K_{j}(p'_{1},\ldots ,p'_{j})z^{j}\cdot \sum _{k}K_{k}(p''_{1},\ldots ,p''_{k})z^{k}$

each make no sense at all.

So, it must be stated what p'₁, p'₂, p'₃, ... and p"₁, p"₂, p"₃, ... are.50.205.142.50 (talk) 16:34, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
