Taylor expansion from a periodic derivative equation

ID: taylor-expansion-from-a-periodic-derivative-equation

For a smooth real function satisfying the displayed equation with positive integer , differentiating makes . On any compact interval, all derivatives are therefore bounded by the maximum of the bounds of . The Taylor formula with integral remainder consequently has error at most , which tends to zero uniformly for . Hence the function equals its globally convergent Taylor series. For and initial derivatives , it is .
