  • Topic 7 Notes 7 Taylor and Laurent Series
    Topic 7 Notes Jeremy Orloff 7 Taylor and Laurent series 7.1 Introduction We originally defined an analytic function as one where the derivative, defined as a limit of ratios, existed. We went on to prove Cauchy's theorem and Cauchy's integral formula. These revealed some deep properties of analytic functions, e.g. the existence of derivatives of all orders. Our goal in this topic is to express analytic functions as infinite power series. This will lead us to Taylor series. When a complex function has an isolated singularity at a point we will replace Taylor series by Laurent series. Not surprisingly we will derive these series from Cauchy's integral formula. Although we come to power series representations after exploring other properties of analytic functions, they will be one of our main tools in understanding and computing with analytic functions. 7.2 Geometric series Having a detailed understanding of geometric series will enable us to use Cauchy's integral formula to understand power series representations of analytic functions. We start with the definition: Definition. A finite geometric series has one of the following (all equivalent) forms. 2 3 n Sn = a(1 + r + r + r + ::: + r ) = a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ::: + arn n X = arj j=0 n X = a rj j=0 The number r is called the ratio of the geometric series because it is the ratio of consecutive terms of the series.

    SOME SIMPLIFICATIONS IN THE PRESENTATIONS OF COMPLEX POWER SERIES AND UNORDERED SUMS OSWALDO RIO BRANCO DE OLIVEIRA Abstract. This text provides very easy and short proofs of some basic prop- erties of complex power series (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, rearrangement, composition, differentiation, uniqueness, Taylor’s series, Prin- ciple of Identity, Principle of Isolated Zeros, and Binomial Series). This is done by simplifying the usual presentation of unordered sums of a (countable) family of complex numbers. All the proofs avoid formal power series, double series, iterated series, partial series, asymptotic arguments, complex integra- tion theory, and uniform continuity. The use of function continuity as well as epsilons and deltas is kept to a mininum.

  • INFINITE SERIES in P-ADIC FIELDS
    INFINITE SERIES IN p-ADIC FIELDS KEITH CONRAD 1. Introduction One of the major topics in a course on real analysis is the representation of functions as power series X n anx ; n≥0 where the coefficients an are real numbers and the variable x belongs to R. In these notes we will develop the theory of power series over complete nonarchimedean fields. Let K be a field that is complete with respect to a nontrivial nonarchimedean absolute value j · j, such as Qp with its absolute value j · jp. We will look at power series over K (that is, with coefficients in K) and a variable x coming from K. Such series share some properties in common with real power series: (1) There is a radius of convergence R (a nonnegative real number, or 1), for which there is convergence at x 2 K when jxj < R and not when jxj > R. (2) A power series is uniformly continuous on each closed disc (of positive radius) where it converges. (3) A power series can be differentiated termwise in its disc of convergence. There are also some contrasts: (1) The convergence of a power series at its radius of convergence R does not exhibit mixed behavior: it is either convergent at all x with jxj = R or not convergent at P n all x with jxj = R, unlike n≥1 x =n on R, where R = 1 and there is convergence at x = −1 but not at x = 1. (2) A power series can be expanded around a new point in its disc of convergence and the new series has exactly the same disc of convergence as the original series.

  • 11.3-11.4 Integral and Comparison Tests
    11.3-11.4 Integral and Comparison Tests The Integral Test: Suppose a function f(x) is continuous, positive, and decreasing on [1; 1). Let an 1 P R 1 be defined by an = f(n). Then, the series an and the improper integral 1 f(x) dx either BOTH n=1 CONVERGE OR BOTH DIVERGE. Notes: • For the integral test, when we say that f must be decreasing, it is actually enough that f is EVENTUALLY ALWAYS DECREASING. In other words, as long as f is always decreasing after a certain point, the \decreasing" requirement is satisfied. • If the improper integral converges to a value A, this does NOT mean the sum of the series is A. Why? The integral of a function will give us all the area under a continuous curve, while the series is a sum of distinct, separate terms. • The index and interval do not always need to start with 1. Examples: Determine whether the following series converge or diverge. 1 n2 • X n2 + 9 n=1 1 2 • X n2 + 9 n=3 1 1 n • X n2 + 1 n=1 1 ln n • X n n=2 Z 1 1 p-series: We saw in Section 8.9 that the integral p dx converges if p > 1 and diverges if p ≤ 1. So, by 1 x 1 1 the Integral Test, the p-series X converges if p > 1 and diverges if p ≤ 1. np n=1 Notes: 1 1 • When p = 1, the series X is called the harmonic series. n n=1 • Any constant multiple of a convergent p-series is also convergent.

  • Formal Power Series - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Formal power series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_power_series Formal power series From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In mathematics, formal power series are a generalization of polynomials as formal objects, where the number of terms is allowed to be infinite; this implies giving up the possibility to substitute arbitrary values for indeterminates. This perspective contrasts with that of power series, whose variables designate numerical values, and which series therefore only have a definite value if convergence can be established. Formal power series are often used merely to represent the whole collection of their coefficients. In combinatorics, they provide representations of numerical sequences and of multisets, and for instance allow giving concise expressions for recursively defined sequences regardless of whether the recursion can be explicitly solved; this is known as the method of generating functions.

  • 3.3 Convergence Tests for Infinite Series

This geometric viewpoint suggests that we compare this sum to an integral. If an can be represented as a continuous function of n, for real numbers n, not just integers, and if the m X sequence an is decreasing, then an looks a bit like area under the curve a = a(n). n=1 In particular, m m+2 X Z m+1 X an > an dn > an n=1 n=1 n=2 For example, let us examine the first 10 terms of the harmonic series 10 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + + + + + + + : n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 1 1 If we draw the curve y = x (or a = n ) we see that 10 11 10 X 1 Z 11 dx X 1 X 1 1 > > = − 1 + : n x n n 11 1 1 2 1 (See Figure 1, copied from Wikipedia) Z 11 dx Now = ln(11) − ln(1) = ln(11) so 1 x 10 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + + + + + + + > ln(11) n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 and 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 + + + + + + + + + < ln(11) + (1 − ): 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Z dx So we may bound our series, above and below, with some version of the integral : x If we allow the sum to turn into an infinite series, we turn the integral into an improper integral.

Uniform convergence and continuity. Theorem 7.1.

It converges to some function S···(x) because every uniformly convergent series converges pointwise. Continuity of S at a point x means (by definition) lim S(y)= S(x) y→x Fix a number ε> 0. Then one can find a number δ such that S(x) S(y) <ε whenever 0 < x y <δ | − | | − | In other words, the values S(y) can get arbitrary close to S(x) and stay arbitrary close to it for all points y = x that are sufficiently close to x.

LONGMAN Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Israel Received 27 July 1984 Abstract: The well-known correspondence of a power series with a certain Stieltjes integral is exploited for summation of the series by numerical integration. The emphasis in this paper is thus on actual summation of series. rather than mere acceleration of convergence. It is assumed that the coefficients of the series are given analytically, and then the numerator of the integrand is determined by the aid of the inverse of the two-sided Laplace transform, while the denominator is standard (and known) for all power series. Since Fourier series can be expressed in terms of power series, the method is applicable also to them. The treatment is extended to divergent series, and a fair number of numerical examples are given, in order to illustrate various techniques for the numerical evaluation of the resulting integrals.

Introduction We start by considering a power series, which it is convenient to write in the form s(x)=/.Q-~2x+&x2..., (1) for reasons which will become apparent presently. Here there is no intention to limit ourselves to alternating series since, even if the pLkare all of one sign, x may take negative and even complex values.
