Polynomial multiples of a Gaussian flat function
ID: polynomial-multiples-of-a-gaussian-flat-function
Extend this expression by zero at zero. Gaussian decay dominates every power, so the resulting function and its derivative difference quotients vanish to every order at zero. Away from zero, differentiation replaces by , another polynomial. Induction therefore gives a smooth function flat at zero. If is nonzero, its Taylor series is zero while the function is nonzero at every sufficiently small nonzero argument, so it is not real analytic there.
