S(0) UdSU: Abizyaev, Bikov, Urbanovich 4 Oct 2007 16:17
Does S(0) always equal 1?
Re: S(0) svr 4 Oct 2007 18:13
S(0) contains one set (I0,...,Ik)of indexes and it is empty. Product over empty set of indexes is 1, because products have multiplicative property with respect to union
of disjoint index sets.
