Statement flagged by 0 users
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.

Statement

Let KK be a \reftext{def:field-c54-2026b}{field}, let VV be a \reftext{def:vector-space-2026a}{vector space over KK} with \reftext{lem:vector-space-basic-identities-2026a}{zero vector} 0V0_{V}, let nn be a \reftext{def:natural-numbers-2026a}{natural number}, let [n][n] be the \reftext{def:initial-segment-natural-numbers-2026a}{initial segment} it determines, and let << be the \reftext{def:order-natural-numbers-2026a}{strict order} on N\mathbb{N}.

Let u∈Vnu\in V^{n} be an \reftext{def:finite-tuple-power-2026a}{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 \reftext{def:finite-sum-vector-space-2026a}{finite sums in VV},

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