Increasing geometrically axn and axyzn #20

Hello,

Is there any way to calculate axn and azyzn with geometrically increasing?

Thanks

Hi, as known from classical financial and actuarial mathematics, a geometrically increasing annuity can be priced using the synthetic interest rate $j=i-g$, being $i$ the discount rate and $g$ the geometric growth rate. I have added this clarification in the vignette. HTH
