I have $k$ pairs of elements, and I want to take a summation over a product of the $2^k$ different ways to choose one item from set. Can someone suggest a good notation for this?
So for example, if I had 3 sets of two elements $\{a_{11},a_{12}\}, \{a_{21},a_{22}\}, \{a_{31}, a_{32}\}$ I would want
$a_{11}a_{21}a_{31} + a_{11}a_{21}a_{32} + a_{11}a_{22}a_{31} + a_{11}a_{22}a_{32} + a_{12}a_{21}a_{31} + a_{12}a_{21}a_{32} + a_{12}a_{22}a_{31} + a_{12}a_{22}a_{32}$
Edit: while several people have pointed out that it is equal to $\prod_{i=1}^k(a_{i1}+a_{i2})$ I need to work on the expanded form. I was more looking for a way to notate the individual $2^k$ $k$-tuples that are all the combinations of $\{1,2\}^k$
Thanks, Craig
$$\sum_{j\in \{1,2\}^k}\;\prod_{i=1}^ka_{ij_i}$$
