Given a postive integers x and n, we are asked to evaluate the following summation:

where: the symbol "" and "" are the floor and ceil functions, respectively.

For example, if and , we have:

>> S = @(x,n) sum(arrayfun(@(i) ceil(nthroot(i-1,n))+floor(nthroot(i+1,n)),1:x));

>> s = S(50,3)

>> s =
