Is there a name for such series?

44 Views Asked by At

I know a series such as:

$$\sum_{i=1}^{n} 3i+1 \quad n\in\mathbb{N}$$

Is Arithmetic and has a difference value of $3$.

I also know a series such as:

$$\sum_{i=1}^{n} {1\over{2^i}} \quad n\in\mathbb{N}$$

Is Geometric and has a common ratio of $1\over 2$.

But what about a series like this? $$\sum_{i=1}^{n} {i\over{2^i}} \quad n\in\mathbb{N}$$

Is there any name for such type of series? If so, does it follow any type of pattern/law such as the difference value and the common ratio?
