Term by Term Operations on Series
If f ( x ) = n = 0 a n x n has radius of convergence M R + , then f is differentiable on ( M , M ) and the following are true:
  • n = 1 n a n x n 1 has radius of convergence M such that for any x ( M , M ) we have f ( x ) = n = 1 n a n x n 1
  • n = 0 a n n + 1 x n + 1 has radius of convergence M such that for any x ( M , M ) we have: 0 x f ( t ) d t = n = 0 a n n + 1 x n + 1

Given a power series n = 0 a n x n then either there exists a set C such that the series converges for any x C and diverges otherwise. C is either of the form [ M , M ] or R itself, such that
  • For each [ a , b ] C the series converges uniformly
  • If α = lim sup n | a n | 1 n , then
C = { R  if  α = 0  if  α = + [ 1 α , 1 α ]  if  α R +
