Der Verfasser giebt einen elementaren Beweis der Formel: \[ \begin{multlined} e^{-x^2} + e^{-(x-a)^2} + e^{-(x+a)^2} + e^{-(x-2a)^2} + e^{-(x+2a)^2} + \dotsm \\ = \frac {2\sqrt{\pi }} {a} \left\{ \frac 1 2 + e^{-\frac {{\pi }^2} {a^2}} \cos \frac {2\pi x} a + e^{-\frac {4\pi ^2} {a^2}} \cos\frac {4\pi x} a + \dotsm \right\} .\end{multlined} \]
