(3) Binomial series ( + x) α =+ α(α )(α ) (α n+) n! x n. Continuity integration and differentiation of power series. Theorem. Power series define a continuous function on the interior of the interval of conveggence. Since the partial sums of a power series are polynomials hence are continuous functions. We will use the following theorem to get the continuity of the power series from its partial sums. We define the distance between two functions fg by f g = l.u.b. x ( RR) f(x) g(x). Definition. A sequence of functions {f k } converges uniformly to a limit function f if for any given ɛ> there is a N(ɛ) such that n N(ɛ) implies that f k f <ɛ.inthiscase we will write lim k f k = f. Theorem. Suppose that sequence of continuous functions {f k } on ( R R) converges uniformly to a limit function f. Thenf is a continuous function on ( R R). Proof. For any a ( R R) since f(x) f(a) f(x) f k (x) + f k (x) f k (a) + f k (a) f(a). For given ɛ> we can fix some large k such that f k f < ɛ 3. And since f k is continuous function there is a δ>such that x a <δimplies f k (x) f k (a) < ɛ 3. Put them together we have f(x) f(a) < ɛ 3 + ɛ 3 + ɛ 3 = ɛ. Proof of the continuity of the power series. For any x ( R R) fix r<rsuch that x [ r r]. Then x n m x n x n r n. m+ m+ As we know from r<r r n converges so the m+ r n goes to zero as m goes to. So x n is continuous on [ r r] and this is true for all <rr. So x n is continuous on ( R R).

11 CHAPTER INFINITE SERIES Theorem. The power series x n its term by trem differentiation power series nx n and its term by term integration power series n+ xn+ have same radius of convergence. Proof. Letr their radius convergence be R R d R i respectively. Since the series x n and x n have same radius R. Theseries n+ xn+ n+ xn+ andx n+ xn have the same radius of convergence R i. Hence R i R and also R R d since x n is the term by term integration series of nx n. In order to show that R = R d we will show that for any x ( R R) nx n converges absolutely. Fix some r such that x <r<rand apply the limit comarison theorem sine n x n = n r n r ( x r )n as n which prove that R = R d and similarly R = R i. Next we will show that integration of power series can be done by term by term integration. Theorem. x t n dt = Proof. For given x ( R R) x m t n dt n+ xn+. n + xn+ = x t n dt m+ x x n dt and last integral is x m+ x n which will goes to zero as m due to the absolute convergence of x n In order to show that differentiation of power series can be done by term by term differentiation we need the following theorem (we will skip the proof). Theorem. Suppose that a sequence of differentiable function {f k } converges uniformly to a limit function f and{f k } also converges to a limit function g. Thenf is differentiable and f = g. d Theorem. dx ( x n )= nx n. Proof. Inorder to apply the theorem above we have to make sure that the derivetives of the partial sums converges uniformly on [ r r] for all r<r. But since R d R thisis true so the proof is complete. Remark. A function defined by a power series is call a real analytic function. Suppose that f(x) = x n thenf (k) () = k!a k. So real analytic function can only be deinned by unique powerseries.
