Value of C of a bivariate discrete distribution












2












$begingroup$


I have the following math problem:



$ sum^{infty}_{j=1} sum^{infty}_{i=1} C/(i*j)^2 = 1 $



where C is the value of the constant that makes this function be equal to 1.



I am not being able to find how to prove this converge and prove how C goes to $ 36/pi^4 $

$sumlimits_{i=1}^{infty} frac 1 {i^{2}}=frac {pi^{2}} 6$. The given equation is $C sumlimits_{i=1}^{infty} sumlimits_{i=1}^{infty} frac 1 {i^{2}j^{2}}=1$. You can sum w.r.t. $i$ first and then w.r.t. $j$. When you sum w.r.t. $i$, $frac 1{j^{2}}$ comes out of the summation so you get $Cfrac {pi^{2}} 6 frac {pi^{2}} 6=1$.

    @Gustavomoty it is a well known fact that $sum frac 1 {i^{2}}=pi^{2}/6$. This fact is required to answer this question. The fact that the answer involves $pi$ suggests that you are suppose to know this fact. You can prove convergence of the series by integral test but getting the exact value of the sum requires a deeper analysis.

Use the identity $sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac{1}{k^2}=frac{pi^2}{6}$ two times. You will get the answer.
