          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 81267
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Repeat operator
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Formula Editor
           Product: LibreOffice

I request an enhancement of the formula editor to support the repeat operator
using the big R notation proposed by Yingxu Wang. The repeat operator is the
mathematical equivalent of a for-loop. It works similar to the summation
operator except that the operation can be any mathematical operation. For
example, the generalization of the summation operator could be expressed like
this:

sum from i = 1 to k x_i = repeat from i = 1 to k "sum"(x_i)

Here "repeat" would render the big R sign similar to the big summation sign.

See for instance:

"On Contemporary Denotational Mathematics for Computational Intelligence" by
Yingxu Wang

Any workaround for the current formula editor is welcome for now (how to render
a big R).
