hi,

i'm trying to solve the following equation with mathematica. why are there different results depending on whether or not i factor x out (see the two def. for f1)?

Sum[f1[n1, n2, x, m, i, j, k], {i, 0, n1}, {j, 0, n2}, {k, 0, n2 + i - j}]

f1[n1_, n2_, x_, m_, i_, j_, k_] := 
 Exp[I*2*Pi*(m/3*(n1 + n2 - i - 2 j - k) + x*(n2 + i - j - 2 k))]

f1[n1_, n2_, x_, m_, i_, j_, k_] := 
 Exp[I*2*Pi*(m/3*(n1 + n2 - i - 2 j - k) + x*n2 + x*i - x*j - 2 x*k)]

and still, both results do not match the sum if i enter specific values. so there must be something wrong, but what?

thx in advance.
