I have to find the X value for which \sum_(i=1)^X (i * a_i ) >= B

or ( 1*a_1 + 2*a_2 + --- + X*a_x >= B ) where a_i & B are known.

For finding the X value; is there any explicit formula? If anyone knows, please answer.

Thank you very much, kalpana

Assume 'a' is a row vector.

x = 1:size(a,2);
X = x(cumsum(x.*a)>=B);

I've already told you. The first X that satisfies your inequality is the first element in my X. It is of course X(1).

Immediate Response would be, you can run a loop and sum it up and check if the sum is greater than or equal to B at every iteration and break out of loop when it is satisfied.

A more measured approach will be, to use summation by parts. For example if length of a_i is 100, you could first check if summation(a_i*X) for X=1:50. If B is smaller, then you can run the summation for X=1:75. If B is greater, then you can run for X=1:25 and proceed so on.. But for this to work, a_i should be monotonically increasing.

Analysis of a_i (if it is a series or so) could also be useful.
