If a,b > 0 then W(-e^{-a} b) is negative, so the entire expression is positive. The only questionable equand in the sequence is, as you noticed, the fourth. But the trick there is that the k = -1 term in the sum outweighs the nonnegative terms. On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 3:14 PM, <rwg@sdf.lonestar.org> wrote:
