Indefinite product


In mathematics, the indefinite product operator is the inverse operator of. It is a discrete version of the geometric integral of geometric calculus, one of the non-Newtonian calculi. Some authors use term discrete multiplicative integration.
Thus
More explicitly, if, then
If F is a solution of this functional equation for a given f, then so is CF for any constant C. Therefore, each indefinite product actually represents a family of functions, differing by a multiplicative constant.

Connection to indefinite sum

Indefinite product can be expressed in terms of indefinite sum:

Alternative usage

Some authors use the phrase "indefinite product" in a slightly different but related way to describe a product in which the numerical value of the upper limit is not given. e.g.
