Using multiple summmation signs with condition 'i "not
equal" j', evaluation stops immediately as 'i' starts as
1 as does 'j'. My formula requires that the 'i's' and
'j's' together:
Sum[Sum[f,{j,1,n}],{i,1,n}] ignore cases where i = j.
Or as copied from my notebook:
\!\(\(\(\[Sum]\+\(i = 1\)\%n\[Sum]\+\(j = 1\)\%n\)\+\(i
!= j\)\) \(w\_i\)
w\_j\)
How do I solve this without some cumbersome loops.
Many Thanks
