Factorial-gap power series

ID: factorial-gap-power-series

This lacunary power series has radius of convergence one. For , the inequality for gives absolute convergence by a geometric series comparison. For its terms do not tend to zero. At every point of the unit circle the terms have modulus one, so the term test for divergence proves divergence there too. The two initial terms both equal , since ; this finite repetition does not affect any convergence conclusion.
