Abstract
We evaluate the nested sum $\sum_{a_{n - 1} = c}^{a_n } {\sum_{a_{n - 2} = c}^{a_{n - 1} } { \cdots \sum_{a_0 = c}^{a_1 } {x^{a_0 } } } }$ where $a_n$ and $c$ are any integers and $x$ is a real or complex variable. Consequently, we evaluate multiple sums involving the terms of a general second order sequence, the Horadam sequence (Wj (a, b; p, q)), defined for all non-negative integers j by the recurrence relation W0 = a, W1 = b; Wj = pWj−1 − qWj−2 (j≥2); where a, b, p and q are arbitrary complex numbers, with p ≠ 0, q ≠ 0.
