Rothe–Hagen identity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the Rothe–Hagen identity is a mathematical identity valid for all complex numbers () except where its denominators vanish:

It is a generalization of Vandermonde's identity, and is named after Heinrich August Rothe and Johann Georg Hagen.
