Polynomials and Formal Power Series. Let x be a variable and a 0,, a n be real numbers. A polynomial in x with coefficients a 0,, a n is an expression P (x) = a 0 + a x + + a n x n, If a n 0, n is called the degree of P. The space of polynomials in x with coefficients in R is denoted by R[x]. For each real number c R, define P (c) = a 0 + a c + + a n c n. Then P : R R defines a function. Hence a polynomial in x can be thought of as a function on R. Evey polynomial function is a smooth function on R which means that P (k) (x) exists for each k 0. Moreover, P (0) = a 0, P (x) = a + 2a 2 x + 3a 3 x na n x n P (x) = 2a a 3 x + 3 4a 4 x 2 + (n )na n x n 2 = P (n) (x) = a n. Hence we have P (0) = a 0, P (0) = a, P (0) = 2!a 2,, P (n) (0) = a n. Suppose that we have two polynomials P (x) = n i=0 a ix i and Q(x) = m j=0 b jx j. Then ( m m+n k ) P (x)q(x) = a i b j x i+j = a i b k i x k. i=0 j=0 Hence the product of two polynomials is again a polynomial. i=0
2 2 JIA-MING (FRANK) LIOU Let (a n ) n 0 be a sequence of real numbers. The formal power series in x with coefficients a n is an expression (.) a 0 + a x + a 2 x a n x n + = a n x n. The space of formal power series with coefficients in R is denoted by R[[x]]. Suppose that A(x) = a nx n and B(x) = b nx n are two formal power series in R[[x]]. Define their sum and their product by A(x) + B(x) = (a n + b n )x n A(x)B(x) = c n x n, where c n = n a kb n k. Hence we know that R[x] is a subset of R[[x]], i.e. every polynomial is a formal power series. Here comes a question: When does a formal power series define a function on an interval of R?.2. Radius of Convergence. The following theorem gives us an example when a formal power series converges. Theorem.. (Abel) Suppose that r is a real number so that the series a n r n is con- vergent. For each c < r, a n c n is absolutely convergent. divergent, then for c > r, a n c n is also divergent. Conversely if a n r n is Proof. Since the series a nr n is convergent, lim a nr n = 0. Hence there exists N > 0 n so that for any n N, a n r n <. Thus a n < r n for n N. Therefore for any n N, ( c ) n a n c n <. r Since c/r <, the geometric series n=n+ (c/r)n is convergent. By the comparison test, n=n+ a nc n is convergent and thus a nc n is convergent. Definition.. R > 0 is called the radius convergence of (.) if () for any c < R, a nc n is absolutely convergent; (2) for any c > R, a nc n is divergent. Theorem.2. Suppose that lim n R = ρ. Similarly, if lim n a n+ a n = ρ, then R = ρ. n an = ρ. Then the radius of convergence of (.) is Proof. Let ρ be the limit of (a n+ /a n ). Let a n (x) = a n x n. Then a n+ (x) a n (x) = a n+ a n x.
3 CALCULUS 3 Hence lim a n+ (x) n a n (x) = ρ x. We know that if ρ x <, by ratio test, the infinite series a n (x) = a n x n is absolutely convergent. In other words, the power series is convergent if x < /ρ. Take R = /ρ. If x > R, then ρ x >. By ratio test, the power series is divergent. Hence we prove that R = /ρ is the radius of convergence of the power series. Let us take a look at some examples. Example.. Find the radius of convergence of the following three formal power series () A (x) = ( ) n xn n ; n= x n (2) A 2 (x) = n 2 ; n= (3) A 3 (x) = nx n. n= Sol. By ratio test, the radii of convergence of the above three formal power series are. Note that n= ( )n /n is convergent by the Leibnitz test. A(x) is also convergent at x = but when x =, the series n= /n is divergent by the p-test. Hence A (x) is convergent on < x or I = (, ]. Similarly, A 2 (x) is convergent on both x = ±. Therefore A 2 (x) is convergent on I 2 = [, ]. We also find that A 3 is convergent on I 3 = (, ) and divergent at x = ±. I, I 2, I 3 are called the interval of convergence of A, A 2, A 3 respectively. Definition.2. An interval I on R is of the form [a, b] or [a, b) or (a, b] or (a, b). An interval I is called the interval of convergence if for every c I, a nc n is convergent and for any d I, a nd n is divergent. Corollary.. I can only be [ R, R], or ( R, R], or [ R, R) or ( R, R). If I is the interval of convergence of the formal power series A(x) = a nx n, then for each c I, a nc n is convergent. For each c I, define A(c) = a n c n Then the formal power series A(x) defines a function on I. Example.2. The radius of convergence of x n.
4 4 JIA-MING (FRANK) LIOU Sol. Since a n =, a n+/a n = /(n + ) for all n. Hence lim n (a n+ /a n ) = 0. Thus the radius of convergence is R =. Remark. Later we will show that this power series converges to e x. Theorem.3. (Multiplication Theorem) Suppose that two power series A(x), B(x) are convergent on x < R. Then A(x) ± B(x), A(x)B(x) are all convergent on x < R..3. Derivative and Antiderivative of Power Series. Suppose that p(x) = a 0 + a x + + a n x n = n a kx k be a polynomial. Then p (x) = a + 2a 2 x + + na n x n = ka k x k Given a power series A(x) = a nx n, one might think that if A is differentiable, then A (x) = na n x n. On the other hand, an antiderivative of p is given by p(x)dx = C + a 0 x + a 2 x2 + + a n n + an+ = C = Hence one might guess A(x)dx = c + a n n + xn+. a k k + xk+. Theorem.4. Suppose that the radius of convergence of (.) is R. Then the power series of B(x) = na n x n a n, C(x) = c + n + xn+ are also R. Suppose the radius of convergence of (.) is R. Suppose that x < R and x 0 < R. Then A(x) A(x 0 ) = a n (x n x n 0 ). In order to calculate the difference quotient of A, we need: Lemma.. Let x, y be real numbers. Then x n y n = (x y)(x n + x n 2 y + + xy n 2 + y n ). Hence the difference quotient of A at x 0 is A(x) A(x 0 ) = a n (x n + x n 2 x xx0 n 2 + x0 n ). (x x 0 )
5 CALCULUS 5 We know that lim (x n + x n 2 x xx n 2 x x 0 + x n 0 ) = nx n 0. 0 Hence one finds that (not so rigorous) A (x 0 ) = B(x 0 ). Thus A (x) = B(x) for any x < R. One could also see that C (x) = A(x). Hence C(x) = c + A(x)dx. Theorem.5. Suppose that the radius of convergence of (.) is R. Then for all x < R, A (x) = B(x), A(x)dx = C(x). We have already see that the radius of convergence of f(x) = xn / is R =. Hence the function f(x) is smooth on R. Then by the differentiation theorem for power series, we find that f (x) f(x) = 0, f(0) =. One can show that the differential equation has a unique solution and the solution is defined to be e x. Hence f(x) = e x for all x R, i.e. Corollary.2. Let A(x) = e x = x n. a n x n be a convergent power series on x < R. Then A is k-times differentiable for all k at x = 0 and a n = A(n) (0) for all n 0. As a consequence, A (n) (0) A(x) = x n, x < R. Theorem.6. (Taylor s Theorem) Suppose that A(x) = a n x n converges on x < R. Let R < a < R. Then A is k-times differentiable at x = a and for x a < R a, we have A (n) (a) A(x) = (x a) n. By the theorem, we find that A is k-times differentiable on x < R, i.e. A is a smooth function on x < R. A function f : (a, b) R is called smooth if f is k-times differentiable at every point of (a, b) for all k 0. A convergent power series on x < R defines a smooth function on x < R by the Taylor s theorem. Conversely, given a smooth function f on x < R, can we find a power series which is convergent to f on x < R? Definition.3. Let f be a C -function on x < R. The formal power series defined by f (n) (0) x n is called the Maclaurin series generated by f at x = 0. In general, the Taylor series generated by f at x = a is the following formal power series f (n) (a) (.2) (x a) n.
6 6 JIA-MING (FRANK) LIOU If the Taylor series (.2) converges to f, we say that the Taylor series (.2) is the Taylor expansion of f. The Taylor series generated by f may not be convergent to the original function. For example, Example.3. Let f(x) be the following function on R: { e /x 2, for x 0; f(x) = 0, x = 0. Then its Taylor series is 0 but f(x) is not a zero function. Remark. Note that if the function f is defined by a convergent power series, the Taylor series generated by f is convergent to f by Taylor s theorem..3.. Uniqueness of Power Series. Theorem.7. If x < R, the power series A(x) = a n x n = 0. Then a n = 0 for all n 0. Proof. Since A(x) on 0 on x < R, then A (k) (x) = 0 on x < R. Hence a n = A (k) (0)/ = 0 for all n. Corollary.3. (Uniqueness of Power Series) Suppose that A(x) = a n x n and B(x) = b n x n are both convergent on x < R. Then A(x) = B(x) if and only if a n = b n for all n 0. Proof. For each x < R, a nx n and b nx n are both convergent. Hence (a n b n )x n = a n x n b n x n = 0. By the previous theorem, a n b n = 0 for all n 0, i.e. a n = b n for all n 0. Now, we have already shown that the convergence power series on x < R defines a function on x < R. We might ask ourself the following questions. To which function does the power series converge?.4. Power Series Expansion defined by Geometric Series. Example.4. Find a function f(x) so that () f(x) = x n. (2) g(x) = (3) h(x) = nx n. n= n= x n+ n +.
7 CALCULUS 7 Sol. The radius of convergence of these three functions are. These three functions are all convergent on x <. The power series f is a geometric series and f(x) = /( x). One also finds that g(x) = f (x) = /( x) 2 for x <. Moreover, h (x) = f(x) and h(0) = 0. Hence h(x) = ln( x) for x <. Example.5. Find a function f(x) so that () f(x) = nx n. (2) f(x) = (3) f(x) = n= n= n= x n n. x n n 2. Sol. For x 0, f(x)/x = n= nxn. Let g(x) = xn. Then g (x) = f(x)/x. We know that g(x) = /( x). Hence g (x) = /( x) 2. Thus f(x) = x/( x) 2 on x <..4.. Taylor Expansion of ln( + x). Let f(x) = ln( + x), x > 0. Then f (x) = /( + x). For x <, we know that (.3) + x = x + x2 x ( ) n x n + = ( ) n x n. By the fundamental theorem of calculus, for any x >, x dt ln( + x) = + t. For x <, we can integrate (.3) term by term and obtain x ln( + x) = ( ) n t n dt = 0 0 ( ) n xn+ n +. We can compute the following series by the Taylor expansion of f(x) = ln x. ( ) n (.4) n + = ( )n n + +. By (.3), for x <, Hence for x <, ln( + x) = + x = ( ) n x n + ( )n x n+. + x For each n N, the partial sum of (.4) is ( ) n xn+ n + + x s n = ( )n n Then we obtain the following identity: ln 2 = s n ( ) n tn+ + t dt. = ( ) n tn+ + t dt. ( ) k k +.
8 8 JIA-MING (FRANK) LIOU This shows that We conclude that lim n s n = ln 2. s n ln 2 0 t n+ dt = n Taylor Expansion of tan x. Let f(x) = tan x, x R. Then f (x) = /( + x 2 ) for all x R. For x <, f (x) has the following series expansion (.5) Integrating (.5), we obtain Similarly, one can show that + x 2 = ( ) n x 2n. tan x = ( ) n x2n+ 2n +. π 4 = ( )n 2n + + = ( ) n 2n +. We leave it to the reader as an exercise. Theorem.8. (Abel Theorem) Suppose that know that f(x) = a n is convergent. Then we have already a n x n converges uniformly on x <. Then lim f(x) = a n. x Proof. Let s n be the n-th partial sum of (a n ). Then a n = s n s n. Hence n (s k s k )x k = ( x) s k x k + s n x n. Hence for x <, we obtain f(x) = ( x) s n x n. Denote s = n s n. Then for ɛ > 0, there exists N > 0 so that for n N, s n s < ɛ/2. By xn = /( x) for x <, we find N f(x) s ( x) s n s x n + ɛ 2. Since (s n ) is convergent, so is (s n s). Thus there exists M > 0 so that s n s M for all n. Therefore f(x) s ( x)nm + ɛ 2. For the same ɛ > 0, choose δ = ɛ/(2mn) > 0. Then whenever x < δ, we have x MN < ɛ/2. In this case we find that for x < δ, f(x) s < ɛ. Thus we prove that lim x f(x) = s
9 .5. Power Series Defined by Differential Equations. CALCULUS Taylor Expansion of sin x and cos x. Let us consider the following second order differential equation (.6) y + y = 0. Suppose that y = a nx n is a solution. Then we find the following recursive relation a n+2 = (n + )(n + 2) a n, n 0. Hence one finds that a 2n = ( )n (2n)! a 0, a 2n+ = ( )n (2n + )! a. Then y is formally given by ( ) n ( ) n y = a 0 (2n)! x2n + a (2n + )! x2n+. Let C(x) and S(x) be the following formal power series ( ) n ( ) n C(x) = (2n)! x2n, S(x) = (2n + )! x2n+. Then y = a 0 C(x) + a S(x). Proposition.. The radii of convergence of C and S are both and they are both solution to (.6). Moreover, C(0) =, C (0) = 0 and S(0) = 0 and S (0) =. One can also check that c(x) = cos x and s(x) are both solutions to (.6); c(0) =, c (0) = 0 and s(0) = 0, s (0) =. Now, we can show that C(x) = c(x) and S(x) = s(x). To show that C(x) = c(x) is equivalent to show that C(x) c(x) = 0. Let g(x) = C(x) c(x). Then g(0) = 0 and g (0) = 0 and g also satisfies (.6). Define h(x) = (g(x)) 2 + (g (x)) 2. Then for all x, h (x) = 2g(x)g (x) + 2g (x)g (x) = 2g (x) [ g(x) + g (x) ] = 0. Hence h is a constant function by the mean value theorem. Thus h(x) = 0 for all x R which shows that g(x) = 0 for all x R. Therefore C(x) = c(x) for all x R Taylor Expansion of ( + x) α. Let f(x) = ( + x) α. Then (.7) ( + x)f (x) = αf(x), f(0) =. Assume that A(x) = a nx n is a solution to (.7). By (.7), one can show that a n+ = α n n + a n, n and a = αa 0. One can check that α(α ) α(α )(α 2) α(α ) (α n + ) a 2 = a 0, a 3 = a 0, a n = a ! Since f(0) =, a 0 =. One can show that the radius of convergence of the formal power series is. Hence the power series is convergent on x <. We also denote ( ) α α(α ) (α n + ) =. n
10 0 JIA-MING (FRANK) LIOU Since the power series is convergent on x <, the power series solve (.7) on x <. Hence by the differentiation theorem for power series, ( ) α A(x) = x n n satisfies (.7). Now, we want to show that f(x) = A(x) for x <. Define h(x) = f(x) A(x). Then h(0) = 0 and h also satisfies (.7). Multiplying (.7) by ( + x) α, we find ( + x) α h (x) α( + x) α h(x) = d dx ( + x) α h(x) = 0. Hence ( + x) α h(x) = C for all x R. Thus h(x) = C( + x) α, x R. Since h(0) = 0, C = 0. We find that h(x) = 0 for x <. We conclude that ( ) α f(x) = x n. n We can also compute the Taylor series generated by f at x = 0 by direct computing the derivatives: f (n) (x) = α(α ) (α n + )( + x) α n, n 0. Hence f (n) (0) = α(α ) (α n + ). Thus the Taylor series generated by f at x = 0 is given by α(α ) (α n + ) x n and its radius of convergence is. How do we know that the Taylor series generated by f at x = 0 is convergent to f? By using differential equations, we can find a power series which converges to f and thus the power series is its Taylor series by the Taylor s theorem. Although the computation of the Taylor series generated by f is simpler, we didn t know if the Taylor series is convergent to f. Therefore, we need to study the convergence of Taylor series..6. The Convergence of Taylor Series. Suppose that f is a differentiable function on an interval I. Then for each a < x, the slope of the secant line is given by s = f(x) f(a). x a The mean value theorem states that we can find a point c lies between x and y so that the slope of the tangent line to x = c is s, i.e. f(x) f(a) x a Thus f(x) f(a) = f (c)(x a), i.e. we have = f (c). f(x) = f(a) + f (c)(x a). Suppose that f is n + -times differentiable. a < c < x so that (.8) f(x) = f(a) + f (a)! Similarly, for a < x, we can always find (x a) + + f (n) (a) (x a) n + f (n+) (c) (n + )! (x a)n+.
11 Definition.4. The polynomial P n (x) defined by f (k) (a) P n (x) = (x a) k k! CALCULUS is called the n-th Taylor polynomial of f at x = a. The last term in (.8) is called the remainder of f at x = a and denoted by R n (x, a). Theorem.9. (Taylor s Theorem) Let f be a C -function on R. Let a < x be points in R. Then there exists a < c < x Then (.8) holds. Proof. By the fundamental theorem of calculus, we find that Using integration by parts, Inductively, f(x) = f(a) + x f(x) = f(a) + f (a)(x a) f(x) = f (k) (a) x (x a) k + k! a a f (t)dt. x a (t x)f (t)dt. (x t) n f (n+) (t)dt. By the mean value theorem, show that there exists a c x,a x so that f (k) (a) f(x) = (x a) k + f (n+) (c x,a ) (x a) n+. k! (n + )! Therefore f(x) = P n (x) + R n (x, a), where R n (x, a) = f (n+) (c x,a ) (x a) n+ (n + )! Theorem.0. Suppose that f (n+ (t) M for all a t x for all n N. Then the Taylor series generated by f is convergent to f for x a < R. for R > 0. Proof. Let P n (x) be the n-th Taylor polynomial of f at x = a. By the Taylor s theorem, P n (x) f(x) = R n (x, a) MRn+ (n + )!. Since lim n MR n+ /(n + )! = 0, by the Sandwich principle, Hence the series lim P n(x) = f(x). n f (n) (a) (x a) n is convergent to f(x) for x a < R. Example.6. Calculate the Taylor series of C(x) = cos x and S(x) = sin x at x = 0 directly from the definition and show that their Taylor series converge to C and S. Sol. We leave it to the reader as an exercise.
12 2 JIA-MING (FRANK) LIOU.7. Definition of e z. For a complex number z C, define e z z n =. Theorem.. Given a real number θ, let z = iθ. Then e iθ = cos θ + i sin θ, θ R. Proof. For n = 2k, i n = ( ) k and for n = 2k +, i n = ( ) k i. Hence e iθ i n θ n ( ) k ( ) k = = (2k)! θ2k + i (2k + )! θ2k+ = cos θ + i sin θ. Theorem.2. For real numbers θ, ϕ, we have () e i(θ+ϕ) = e iθ e iϕ ; (2) for n Z, e inθ = (e iθ ) n..8. More Eamples. Example.7. Find the Taylor expansion of the following functions () f (x) = x at x = and x = 2. (2) f 2 (x) = at x =. x2 (3) f 3 (x) = at x =. x3 (4) f 4 (x) = x at x = 0. x Sol. Since x = x +, f (x) = + (x ) = ( ) n (x ) n = We also find that f (n) (0) = ( ) n. Since x = x 2 + 2, f (x) = 2 + (x 2) = 2 + (x 2)/2 = ( ) x 2 n ( ) n 2 2 ( ) n = 2 n+ (x 2)n, x 2 < 2. ( ) n (x ) n, x <. We also find that f (n) (2) = ( ) n /2 n+. Note that f (x) = f 2(x) and f 2 (x) = 2f 3(x). As long as you find f 2 by taking the derivative of f, you can find f 2 and thus f 3. For the last problem, consider x = x n, x <.
13 Then by the multiplication theorem for power series, on x <, CALCULUS 3 f 4 (x) = x x = x n+. Example.8. Find the Taylor expansion of the following functions: () f (x) = cos 2x at x = 0. (2) f 2 (x) = x 2 sin x at x = 0. (3) f 3 (x) = x 2 cos x 2 at x = 0. (4) f 4 (x) = e x at x =. (5) f 5 (x) = xe x at x = 0. Sol. Since cos t = ( ) n t2n (2n)!, cos 2x = ( ) n 2n x2n 2. Similarly, one can find the (2n)! Taylor expansion of f 2, f 3, f 5 at x = 0. Since e x = ee x, we know that f 4 (x) = e x (x ) n e = e = (x )n.
