Commentary.
Equation (1.21), page 6, requires the sum of the profile entries to be k and their weighted sum to be n. Fin(L) means the integers 0 through L-1; val is the natural value of a finite index. natSub denotes truncated natural subtraction. Each entry is at most k because the entries sum to k.

Commentary.
Equation (1.20), page 6, is the multinomial profile sum for the partial ordinary Bell polynomial. The sequence s has complex values. Every natural coefficient and factorial in complex arithmetic is cast to C.

Commentary.
Equation (2.49), page 13, recursively applies the Euler derivative z times deriv(f,z), starting with z/(1-z). iterate applies the displayed operator j times. deriv is the complex derivative, including its totalized value outside differentiability.

Commentary.
Theorem 1.5, page 4: “where the sequence S₂ satisfies sₖ⁽²⁾ = −Bₖ/k, k ∈ N.” Here B denotes the pinned Bernoulli number with B₁ = −1/2. Only positive entries occur in the Bell sum; the unused zero entry is set to zero. The separately occurring Euler constant s₀⁽²⁾ is not an argument of that sum.

Commentary.
Definition 1.1, page 2: “Given a sequence of numbers, S, indexed over a set J ⊇ N, we define” the finite sum (1.5). This definition specializes that sum to S₂. The carrier for t and the polynomial value is C; j and k are natural numbers.

Commentary.
Equation (1.14), page 4, defines the primary array, including its separate Bernoulli value at a = pi/2. Here a encodes alpha. ite selects its second argument when its first argument holds and its third otherwise. The exponent ite(Even(j+1),1,0) is exactly (1+(-1)^(j+1))/2. The finite index q in Fin(j) replaces the paper’s index from 1 through j by val(q)+1. The real sine and the real ratio cos(2a)/sin(2a) are embedded into C; exp is the complex exponential after a is embedded into C.

Commentary.
Equation (1.14), page 4, defines d(j,0) as the Kronecker delta and gives the displayed finite sum when j >= k >= 1. The extension for k > j is zero and is never used by the residue sums. All quotients here are complex division; powers retain natural exponents. In the innermost factor ell-v is complex subtraction after both natural indices are cast, so it can be negative; natSub is used only for the natural binomial and exponent indices.

Commentary.
Equation (1.14), page 4, convolves d(k+j,k) with c(i-2j). natDiv(i,2) means floor(i/2), using natural integer division.

Commentary.
The weight in (1.13), page 4, is ((1/2)_k)^2/(k!)^2. The Pochhammer factor is the product over q from 0 through k-1; the empty product is one.

Commentary.
This notation abbreviates exactly the inner finite sum of (1.13), page 4. The upper bound natDiv(ell,2) is floor(ell/2).
Definition 1.11 (The bracket in (1.13)).
Formalization. D5/S3/ArithSums/LogLaplacianEvenResidueVanishing.paperBracket (✓ std3).

Commentary.
The two finite sums are the bracket in (1.13), page 4. The first interval includes 1 and m+1, and range(m+1) includes 0 through m. The external factor 2 exp(gamma_E m)/pi is nonzero and therefore has no effect on vanishing.

Commentary.
Open Problem 1.6, page 4: “Consider the notation of Theorem 1.5. Then the following are conjectured to be true:” Clause (iv): “For every α ∈ (0, π), (1.13) is equal to zero whenever m ≥ 0 is even.” The encoding uses m : N, so m >= 0 includes zero, and a : R for α. paperBracket is the bracket of (1.13), with its literal recursive c-array and partial ordinary Bell polynomial definitions.

Commentary.
Centering the primary coefficient series by exp(-s/2) makes it even: its square is the inverse of 2 cosh(s)-2 cos(2a). The b-array convolution multiplies that series by an even series. Bernoulli translation to 1/2 then makes the residue functional annihilate the odd derivative for every even m. These are identities of formal power-series coefficients; no analytic convergence hypothesis is needed.
