Reason: Initial publication. A finite sum of vectors is unchanged when the summands beyond an index j all vanish, filling a gap in the published finite-sum properties needed for zero-padding arguments. · 736 chars · 8 deps · depth 7

Statement

Let KK be a field, let VV be a vector space over KK with zero vector 0V0_{V}, let nn be a natural number, let [n][n] be the initial segment it determines, and let << be the strict order on N\mathbb{N}.

Let uVnu\in V^{n} be an nn-tuple in VV and let j[n]j\in[n] be such that uk=0Vu_{k}=0_{V} for every k[n]k\in[n] with j<kj<k. Then, with finite sums in VV,

k=1nuk=k=1juk.\sum_{k=1}^{n}u_{k}=\sum_{k=1}^{j}u_{k}.
