At n=10..50 the two agree (small differences from the m-sum truncation tail ~ −n²/(8M): at M=2e5, n=50: −2500/1.6e6 = −1.6e-3 ✔ explains the gaps). So the algebra is right, and S_j is computed correctly at n ≤ 50. At n=100, S_j = 1.86e12 — let me recompute S_j at n=100 at dps 100 vs 300 vs 1000. If it changes → conditioning worse than I estimated (maybe the max term isn't the issue but mpmath zeta at large j loses digits? or...). Actually — think again about the TRUE cancellation: the sum value −272 vs terms up to C(100,50)·λ(50) = 1.0089e29 — but wait, are there really such large terms? λ(j) ≈ 1 for all j≥2. So terms are ~C(100,j): up to 1e29 ✔. The alternating binomial sum Σ(−1)^{j−1}C(100,j) = 1−n = −99 — cancellation of 27 digits IN THE MAIN PART. dps 100 gives 73 correct digits after cancellation — should be exact!! Unless mpmath's mp.zeta(j) for large j returns something like 1 + garbage at the 1e-30 level — then C(100,j)·garbage ~ 1e29·1e-30 = 0.1 — small. Hmm.
Actually — WAIT. mp.mpf(2)**(-j): for j=100, 2^-100 fine. mp.binomial exact. Let me just recompute n=100 S_j at multiple precisions.
Small n agrees — so the algebra is right. Testing n=100 across precisions.
