Homework 4 Solutions 26.5. Let ∑ N=1 an and ∑ N=1 Bn Be Absolutely Homework 4 Solutions Math 171, Spring 2010 Please send corrections to [email protected] P1 P1 P1 p 26.5. Let n=1 an and n=1 bn be absolutely convergent series. Prove that the series n=1 janbnj converges. P1 P1 P1 Solution. Since n=1 janj and n=1 jbnj converge, by Theorem 23.1, n=1 janj + jbnj converges. Note that for all n, we have p p p janbnj = janjjbnj ≤ (janj + jbnj)(janj + jbnj) = janj + jbnj: P1 So by Theorem 26.3 (Comparison Test), since n=1 janj + jbnj converges absolutely, we see that P1 p n=1 janbnj converges absolutely, and hence converges as all terms are positive. 27.1. Find the radius of convergence R of each of the power series. Discuss the convergence of the power series at the points jx − tj = R. Solution. P1 x2n−1 (a) n=1 (2n−1)! Note that x2(n+1)−1 x2 lim (2(n+1)−1)! = lim = 0 n!1 x2n−1 n!1 (2n + 1)(2n) (2n−1)! so by the ratio test, the series converges absolutely for all x, and so R = 1. P1 n(x−1)n (b) n=1 2n Note that (n+1)(x−1)(n+1) (n+1) n + 1 x − 1 x − 1 lim 2 = lim = n!1 n(x−1)n n!1 n 2 2 2n so by the ratio test, the series converges absolutely if jx − 1j < 2 and diverges if jx − 1j > 2. Thus P1 P1 n R = 2. If jx − 1j = 2 then the power series diverges, since n=1 n and n=1(−1) n diverge. P1 n!(x+2)n (c) n=1 2n Note that (n+1)!(x+2)(n+1) ( (n+1) (n + 1)(x + 2) 0 if x = −2 lim 2 = lim = n!1 n!(x+2)n n!1 2 1 otherwise 2n so by the ratio test, the series diverges if jx + 2j > 0. Thus R = 0. If jx + 2j = 0 then the power series converges by the ratio test, or by the comment after Definition 27.1. P1 1=n n (d) n=1(n − 1)x By Theorems 16.7 and 25.1 (Alternating Series Test), the series converges when x = −1. 1 n By equality (16.3) in the proof of Theorem 16.7, we know (1 + n ) ≤ n. Taking n-th roots of 1 1=n P1 1 both sides and subtracting 1, we get n ≤ n − 1. We know that the series n=1 n diverges, hence P1 1=n so does n=1 n − 1. Thus the series diverges when x = 1. 1 Hence by Theorem 27.2, we have R = 1, and we have already discussed the behavior of the power series when jxj = 1. P1 (x−π)n (e) n=2 n(n−1) Note that (x−π)(n+1) n − 1 lim (n+1)n = lim (x − π) = jx − πj n!1 (x−π)n n!1 n + 1 n(n−1) so by the ratio test, the series converges absolutely if jx − πj < 1 and diverges if jx − πj > 1. Thus P1 1 P1 (−1)n R = 1. If jx−πj = 1 then the power series converges, since n=1 n(n−1) and n=1 n(n−1) converge. P1 n 27.2. Suppose that the power series n=0 an(x − t) has radius of convergence R. Let p be an integer. P1 p n Prove that the power series n=0 n an(x − t) has radius of convergence R. Solution. We consider thhree cases. 1=n 1 First case: 0 < R < 1. By Theorem 27.2, we have lim supn!1 janj = R . Note that p=n 1=n p p limn!1 n = (limn!1 n ) = 1 = 1 by Exercise 17.4 and Theorem 16.7. Note also that 1=n 1=n 1 fjanj g is a bounded sequence as lim supn!1 janj = R < 1. Hence Theorem 20.8 applies, and we get p 1=n p=n 1=n p=n 1=n 1 lim sup(n janj) = lim sup n janj = lim n lim sup janj = n!1 n!1 n!1 n!1 R P1 p n So n=0 n an(x − t) has radius of convergence R. 1 Second case: R = 1. The method in the case above works, after replacing R with zero. 1=n Third case: R = 0. Hence by Definition 21.2 the sequence fjanj g is not bounded above. Let K p=n p=n 1 be a positive number. Since limn!1 n = 1, there exists some N such that n ≥ 2 for all n ≥ N. p 1=n p 1=M Since fjn anj g is not bounded above, there exists some M > N such that jM aM j > 2K (for p 1=1 p 1=N p 1=n otherwise maxfj1 a1j ; ··· ; jN aN j ; 2Kg would be an upper bound for fjn anj g). Hence p 1=M p=M p 1=M 1 p 1=n jM aM j = M jM aM j > 2 2K = K. This shows that fjn anj g is not bounded above, P1 p n so n=0 n an(x − t) has radius of convergence 0. 28.1. Prove that the following series converge conditionally. Solution. (a) 1 + p1 − p2 + p1 + p1 − p2 + ··· 2 3 4 5 6 p1 Let fang be the sequence 1; 1; −2; 1; 1; −2;::: . Let bn = n . Note that the sequence of partial P1 sums of n=1 an is bounded and fbng is a decreasing sequence with limit 0. We apply Corollary 28.3 (Dirichlet's Test) to see that 1 1 2 1 1 2 X 1 + p − p + p + p − p + ··· = anbn 2 3 4 5 6 n=1 converges. P1 n (1−n)=n (b) n=1(−1) n n −1 1=n P1 Let an = (−1) n and let bn = n . Note that n=1 an converges by Theorem 25.1 (Alternat- ing Series Test) and that fbng is a bounded monotone sequence for n sufficiently large by Theorem 16.7. We apply Corollary 28.6 (Abel's Test) to see that 1 1 1 X n (1−n)=n X n −1 1=n X (−1) n = (−1) n n = anbn n=1 n=1 n=1 converges. 2 P1 28.3. Give an example of a convergent series n=1 an and a positive sequence fbng such that limn!1 bn = P1 0 and n=1 anbn diverges. ( (−1)n 0 n odd Solution. Let an = p and bn = . n p1 n n even P1 Then n=1 an converges by Theorem 25.1 (Alternating Series Test) and limn!1 bn = 0. Note P1 P1 1 n=1 anbn = m=1 2m diverges by Corollary 24.3. Pp 28.6. Let fang be a periodic sequence, an = an+p for all n and for fixed p, for which n=1 an = 0. Let P1 fbng be a decreasing sequence with limit 0. Prove that n=1 anbn converges. P1 Pp Solution. Consider the partial sums sn of the series n=1 an. Since fang is periodic and n=1 an = Pp 0, we see that sn+p = sn + i=1 an+i = sn for all n. Hence sn 2 fs1; :::; spg for all n. This shows P1 that the sequence of partial sums of the series n=1 an is bounded. Hence Corollary 28.3 (Dirichlet's P1 Test) applies, and we conclude n=1 anbn converges. P1 xn 29.3. Prove that n=0 n! converges absolutely for every x and 1 1 1 X xn X yn X (x + y)n ( )( ) = n! n! n! n=0 n=0 n=0 Solution. Note that xn+1 (n+1)! x lim n = lim = 0 n!1 x n!1 n! n + 1 so by the ratio test, the series converges absolutely for every x. xn yn By letting an = n! and bn = n! in Theorem 29.9, we get that 1 1 1 1 X xn X yn X X ( )( ) = ( a )( b ) n! n! n n n=0 n=0 n=0 n=0 1 X = cn n=0 1 n X X = ( aibn−i) n=0 i=0 1 n X X xi yn−i = ( ) i! (n − i)! n=0 i=0 1 n X 1 X n = ( xiyn−i) n! i n=0 i=0 1 X (x + y)n = n! n=0 where the last equality is by the binomial theorem. P1 P1 29.5. Give an example of convergent series n=0 an and n=0 bn whose Cauchy product diverges. Solution. 3 1 1 1 Let P a = P b = P (−1)n p 1 . This series converges by Theorem 25.1 (Alternating n=0 n n=0 n n=0 n+1 Series Test). The n-th term in the Cauchy product is n n n X X k n−k 1 1 n X 1 1 cn = akbn−k = (−1) (−1) p p = (−1) p p k + 1 n + k + 1 k + 1 n − k + 1 k=0 k=0 k=0 Since p 1 ≥ p 1 and likewise p 1 ≥ p 1 , we have k+1 n+1 n−k+1 n+1 n X 1 1 jc j ≥ = (n + 1) = 1 n n + 1 n + 1 k=0 P1 So limn!1 cn 6= 0, so the series n=0 cn diverges by Theorem 22.3. 4.

    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.

  • 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.

  • A Certain Integral-Recurrence Equation with Discrete-Continuous Auto-Convolution
    ARCHIVUM MATHEMATICUM (BRNO) Tomus 47 (2011), 245–250 A CERTAIN INTEGRAL-RECURRENCE EQUATION WITH DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS AUTO-CONVOLUTION Mircea I. Cîrnu Abstract. Laplace transform and some of the author’s previous results about first order differential-recurrence equations with discrete auto-convolution are used to solve a new type of non-linear quadratic integral equation. This paper continues the author’s work from other articles in which are considered and solved new types of algebraic-differential or integral equations. 1. Introduction In the earlier paper [4], N. M. Flaisher solved by Fourier transform method a second order differential-recurrence equation. The present author used in [2] the Laplace transform to derive Newton’s formulas about the sums of powers of the roots of a polynomial. In this paper, the Laplace transform will be used to solve an integral-recurrence equation on semi-axis, with discrete-continuous auto-convolution of its unknowns. Namely, applying the Laplace transform on considered equation, we obtain for the transforms of unknowns a first order differential-recurrence equation with discrete auto-convolution of the type studied in [3] and [1]. Using for this equation the general theory given in [3], we find the transforms of unknowns in convenient assumptions, the solutions of the initial equation being obtained by inverse Laplace transform. 2. Convolution products Two convolution products have been imposed over the time. The first, in continuous-variable case, is the bilateral convolution of two integrable functions u(x) and v(x) on real axis, given by formula Z ∞ u(x) ? v(x) = u(t)v(x − t) dt , −∞ 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 45G10; secondary 44A10.

  • Generating Functions
    MATH 324 Summer 2012 Elementary Number Theory Notes on Generating Functions Generating Functions In this note we will discuss the ordinary generating function of a sequence of real numbers, and then find the generating function for some sequences, including the sequence of Mersenne numbers and the sequence of Fibonacci numbers. Definition. Given a sequence ak k≥0 of real numbers, the ordinary generating function, or generating f g function, of the sequence ak k≥0 is defined to be f g 1 k 2 G(x) = akx = a0 + a1x + a2x + : ( ) k=0 · · · ∗ X The sum is finite if the sequence is finite, and infinite if the sequence is infinite. In the latter case, we will think of ( ) as either a power series with x chosen so that the sum converges, or as a formal power series, where we ∗are not concerned with convergence. Example 1. Suppose that n is a fixed positive integer and n ak = k for k = 0; 1; : : : ; n: From the binomial theorem we have n n n n n n (1 + x) = + x + x2 + + x ; 0 1 2 · · · n n and the generating function for the sequence ak k is f g =0 n G(x) = (1 + x) : Note: The advantage of what we have done is that we have expressed G(x) in a very simple encoded form. If we know this encoded form for G(x); it is now easy to derive ak by decoding or expanding G(x) as a k power series and finding the coefficient of x : Often we will be able to find G(x) without knowing ak; and then be able to solve for ak by expanding G(x): Example 2.

  • A Power Series Centered at Z0 ∈ C Is an Expansion of the Form ∞ X N An(Z − Z0) , N=0 Where An, Z ∈ C
    LECTURE-5 : POWER SERIES VED V. DATAR∗ A power series centered at z0 2 C is an expansion of the form 1 X n an(z − z0) ; n=0 where an; z 2 C. If an and z are restricted to be real numbers, this is the usual power series that you are already familiar with. A priori it is only a formal expression. But for certain values of z, lying in the so called disc of convergence, this series actually converges, and the power series represents a function of z. Before we discuss this fundamental theorem of power series, let us review some basic facts about complex series, and series of complex valued functions. Series of complex numbers and complex valued functions A series is an infinite sum of the form 1 X an; n=0 where an 2 C for all n. We say that the series converges to S, and write 1 X an = S; n=0 if the sequence of partial sums N X SN = an n=0 converges to S. We need the following basic fact. P1 P1 Proposition 0.1. If n=0 janj converges then n=0 an converges. P1 Proof. We will show that SN forms a Cauchy sequence if n=0 janj con- verges. Then the theorem will follow from the completeness of C.

  • Chapter 10: Power Series
    Chapter 10 Power Series In discussing power series it is good to recall a nursery rhyme: \There was a little girl Who had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead When she was good She was very, very good But when she was bad She was horrid." (Robert Strichartz [14]) Power series are one of the most useful type of series in analysis. For example, we can use them to define transcendental functions such as the exponential and trigonometric functions (as well as many other less familiar functions). 10.1. Introduction A power series (centered at 0) is a series of the form 1 X n 2 n anx = a0 + a1x + a2x + ··· + anx + :::: n=0 where the constants an are some coefficients. If all but finitely many of the an are zero, then the power series is a polynomial function, but if infinitely many of the an are nonzero, then we need to consider the convergence of the power series. The basic facts are these: Every power series has a radius of convergence 0 ≤ R ≤ 1, which depends on the coefficients an. The power series converges absolutely in jxj < R and diverges in jxj > R. Moreover, the convergence is uniform on every interval jxj < ρ where 0 ≤ ρ < R. If R > 0, then the sum of the power series is infinitely differentiable in jxj < R, and its derivatives are given by differentiating the original power series term-by-term. 181 182 10. Power Series Power series work just as well for complex numbers as real numbers, and are in fact best viewed from that perspective.

Amongst many other things, in this chapter we'll see how to write some well-known constants in terms of the Riemann zeta function; e.g. we'll derive the following neat formula for our friend log 2 ( 5.5): x 1 1 log 2 = ζ(n); 2n n=2 X another formula for our friend the Euler-Mascheroni constant ( 5.9): x 1 ( 1)n γ = − ζ(n); n n=2 X and two more formulas involving our most delicious friend π (see 's 5.10 and 5.11): x 1 3n 1 π2 1 1 1 1 1 π = − ζ(n + 1) ; = ζ(2) = = 1 + + + + : 4n 6 n2 22 32 42 · · · n=2 n=1 X X In this chapter, we'll also derive Gregory-Leibniz-Madhava's formula ( 5.10) x π 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + ; 4 − 3 5 − 7 9 − 11 − · · · and Machin's formula which started the \decimal place race" of computing π ( 5.10): x 1 1 1 ( 1)n 4 1 π = 4 arctan arctan = 4 − : 5 − 239 (2n + 1) 52n+1 − 2392n+1 n=0 X 229 230 5.
