Sum of power series with unequal radii of convergence
ID: sum-of-power-series-with-unequal-radii-of-convergence
Inside both convergence discs, the triangle inequality gives absolute convergence of the sum. Suppose and the sum had radius . At any modulus between and , subtracting the absolutely convergent second series from the absolutely convergent sum would give absolute convergence of the first series outside its radius of convergence, a contradiction. Interchanging the two series covers .
