Is it possible to reduce the summation/product?

32 Views Asked by At

Specifically, is it possible to combine the products? Both summation/products carry the same bounds.

$$\sum_{n=2}^{x}\prod_{j=1}^{n-1}f(x,n,j)+\sum_{n=2}^{x}\prod_{j=1}^{n-1}f(x+2,n,j)$$

This is as far as I got:

$$\sum_{n=2}^{x}\left(\prod_{j=1}^{n-1}f(x,n,j)+\prod_{k=1}^{n-1}f(x+2,n,j)\right)$$

As already stated in a comment, there's no further simplification beyond what you've already done without more knowledge about $f$.
