A: Generating Function. Sequence.

Brian M. ScottTo say that $g(x)$ is the (ordinary) generating function of a sequence $\langle a_n:n\in\Bbb N\rangle$ is to say that $$g(x)=\sum_{n\ge 0}a_nx^n\;.$$ Let’s look at an example using some of the ideas that you need for your problem. Suppose that we want the generating function of the sequence $...

 
Thanks, thanks, thanks!
 
@user180834: You’re very welcome!
 
You are great man! You explained me really good. :) Can I with my original proof determine function and show, that they are equal?
If you don't understand, tell me it. English isn't my native language so I may make a mistake.
 
@user180834: I’m glad that it helped. I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you speak of your original proof. It is possible to start with your sequence and actually derive the generating function $\frac{x^7}{1-x}+\frac{2x^7}{1-x^2}$ without knowing ahead of time, using the ideas in my answer, but you don’t have to do quite that much, since you already know what the function is.
 
Ok, but I would like: I assume that I don't know the generating function and I have a sequence: $0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,1,3,1.....$ And now I detemine function generating for it and check that it is equal given. Ok?

@user180834: Yes, you can do that.
 
Could you give me an advice to find generating function for 0,1,2^2, 3^2 ....?
 
So you want the sequence $a_n=n^2$, meaning that the power series is $\sum_{n\ge 0}n^2x^n$?
By the way, to read the math symbols you want to have Chatjax, which you can find here.
 
Always I prefer thinking a lot on my own, but this time I have a problem. I must do some tasks to University. It's a midnight. Normally, I don't overuse your help. Forgive me ;)
 
I’ll get you started, at least. Let $f(x)=\frac1{1-x}$; you know that $f(x)=\sum_{n\ge 0}x^n$. Now differentiate: $f\,'(x)=\sum_{n\ge 0}nx^{n-1}$. If you multiply by $x$, you find that $$xf\,'(x)=\sum_{n\ge 0}nx^n\;.$$ Now do it again to get what you want.

Guess, from what country I come ( Europe) :D
 
Europe, and it’s midnight?!
 
ok, It's near 3 o'clock
and I don't go to sleep today :)
 
That’s tough: that time zone covers most of central and eastern Europe.
 
so, there is a high probability that you guess :)
 
You have a little trouble using the articles (the, a) correctly, so my first guess would be a Slavic-speaking country.
 
1:39 AM
yes
 
Still too many possibilities; Poland?
 
thanks for an advice. It helped.
yes
 
You’re welcome; I’m glad that it was helpful.
 
2:09 AM
Can I have another question?
I promise, last :)
 
 
8 hours later…
9:56 AM
It's a bit early, but I haven't another occasion: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015!. And special for You in polish: Wesołych Świąt i szczęśliwego Nowego Roku :D
Greetings!
