In mathematics, a multisection of a power series is a new power series composed of equally spaced terms extracted unaltered from the original series. Formally, if one is given a power series
∑
n
=
−
∞
∞
a
n
⋅
z
n
{\displaystyle \sum _{n=-\infty }^{\infty }a_{n}\cdot z^{n}}
then its multisection is a power series of the form
∑
m
=

a
q
m
+
p
⋅
z
q
m
+
p
{\displaystyle \sum _{m=-\infty }^{\infty }a_{qm+p}\cdot z^{qm+p}}
where p , q are integers, with 0 ≤ p < q . Series multisection represents one of the common transformations of generating functions .

primitive q -th root of unity . This expression is often called a root of unity filter. This solution was first discovered by Thomas Simpson .[ 1] Gauss's digamma theorem , which gives a closed-form solution to the digamma function evaluated at rational values p /q .
In general, the bisections of a series are the even and odd parts of the series.
Consider the geometric series

{\displaystyle \sum _{n=0}^{\infty }z^{n}={\frac {1}{1-z}}\quad {\text{ for }}|z|<1.}
By setting

Remembering that the sum of the multisections must equal the original series, we recover the familiar identity

Higher order multisections are found by noting that all such series must be real-valued along the real line. By taking the real part and using standard trigonometric identities, the formulas may be written in explicitly real form as
