The original PDF has coefficient . Its th root is
The Cauchy-Hadamard theorem therefore gives . Again the power series converges absolutely inside the unit circle, while on that circle its terms do not tend to zero. The converted TeX loses the outer exponent and writes ; the calculation here uses the printed coefficient.
For the power series coefficient , the Cauchy-Hadamard theorem gives
Thus the radius of convergence is . The power series converges absolutely for and diverges for . On its terms have modulus , so they do not tend to zero and the series diverges there as well.
Let be the two radii of convergence. First take , with . Absolute convergence at bounds the terms: for all . Thus
At the right-hand series is finite. Otherwise it converges by the ratio test, because its limiting ratio is . So the differentiated power series converges absolutely at every interior point of , proving . This proof also covers by choosing a finite above any given ; if , that inequality is automatic.
Conversely, if , absolute convergence gives
The constant term does not affect convergence, and both series converge at zero. Hence , including the zero and infinite cases. Therefore . This proof uses coefficient estimates, rather than assuming the termwise differentiation of a power series result whose radius assertion is being established.
The radius of convergence of a power series is the extended real number characterized by absolute convergence for and divergence for . Equivalently,
For , only the central point is guaranteed; for , every real point is inside. At finite endpoints , convergence must be investigated separately and is not determined by .
Since the common radius of convergence is infinite, the termwise differentiation of a power series theorem applies on the entire real line. For the even series, differentiation and the index change give
The odd series similarly gives . Thus everywhere. By the product rule,
The mean value theorem implies that a differentiable function with zero derivative is constant on the real line. At zero, the series give and . Consequently . This derives the identity from the power series without assuming a trigonometric identity in advance.
For any fixed real , the ratios between consecutive nonzero terms in the absolute-value series are
and
The ratio test proves absolute convergence of both power series at every such ; convergence at zero is immediate. Both radii of convergence are therefore . Applying the test to the nonzero terms avoids the undefined coefficient ratios caused by alternate zero coefficients when these are viewed as full power series in .
The bipartite graph property means that a walk starting in ends there precisely when its length is even. Thus the even-length walk generating function on a bipartite graph is . Deleting the last edge of an odd-length self-avoiding walk leaves an even-length one; each such prefix has at most possible last-edge choices. Hence , and for ,
These inequalities also hold with infinite values. Their finite positive prefactor shows that the two power series have the same radius of convergence ; alternatively apply the root formula to the even subsequence.
The equal rooted counts imply that the self-avoiding walk generating function is . The Cauchy-Hadamard theorem identifies the radius of a power series as the reciprocal of . Consequently
Equivalently, the root test gives convergence when and divergence when . At the positive boundary , the preceding infimum formula gives , so this particular series diverges there as well.
A Lie group is a finite-dimensional smooth manifold with a group structure for which multiplication and inversion are smooth. The group defined here is the compact symplectic group , rather than the full complex symplectic group. Also, the displayed matrix expression requires to be ; the printed size is incompatible with .
Since , we have . The matrix exponential commutes with conjugation, as follows term by term from its absolutely convergent power series. Consequently
To construct logarithm charts for the compact symplectic group, consider the real vector space
Differentiating the defining identities at gives precisely these conditions. Conversely if , is unitary and
so . These are the infinitesimal conditions of the compact symplectic Lie algebra.
Near , the convergent matrix logarithm series is smooth and inverse to the matrix exponential near zero. These local inverses respect transpose, conjugate transpose, and conjugation; also when both matrices are sufficiently close to . Shrink their neighborhoods accordingly. If there, unitarity gives
The symplectic identity is equivalent to , so, putting , it gives , equivalently . Thus this local logarithm restricts to a bijection between a neighborhood of in and an open neighborhood of zero in . Its inverse is the restricted matrix exponential. These restrictions are manifold charts; left multiplication translates them to every via . The chart overlaps are smooth compositions of multiplication, exponential and logarithm. The subspace topology is Hausdorff and second countable, inherited from the finite-dimensional matrix space, so these charts give a smooth manifold.
Closure under products and inverses follows from and unitarity. Matrix multiplication is polynomial in real and imaginary entries, and inversion on the unitary group is , a real linear operation. Their restrictions are smooth in the charts just constructed. Hence is a Lie group without needing a closed-subgroup theorem.
Write in blocks. The two infinitesimal conditions give
The skew-Hermitian matrix has real parameters; the complex symmetric matrix has complex parameters, hence real parameters. Therefore
For , any two-by-two matrix satisfies , so the group is . Explicitly,
The rows are orthonormal and the determinant is one; conversely unitarity and determinant one force this form. This is the SU(2) as the three-sphere parametrization. The map and its inverse, extraction of the first row, are smooth. Thus is diffeomorphic to .
The Taylor series definition says that and, for every , there is such that
The equivalent factorial derivative criterion for real analyticity says that, for every , there are a neighborhood of and constants such that
The uniformity over matters: bounds only at do not exclude a flat function.
Assume the factorial derivative criterion for real analyticity. The Taylor theorem with Lagrange remainder gives
when the segment from to is contained in . For sufficiently small the Taylor remainder tends to zero, proving the Taylor series definition.
Conversely, write the convergent power series at as . Choose strictly inside its radius of convergence; then for some . Termwise differentiation on gives
Here the sum is , obtained by differentiating the geometric series. This is the required locally uniform bound. The two definitions of a real analytic function are equivalent.
The total differential order of is two, so its principal symbol is . The conormal to is , on which vanishes. The initial line is a characteristic hypersurface for this total-order symbol; the first-order time derivative does not enter it.
Suppose a real analytic solution existed near . Repeated use of the heat equation gives . The initial power series is near zero, hence
The time Taylor series at would therefore have coefficients . The ratio of successive absolute coefficients is , giving radius of convergence zero. This contradicts the assumed real analytic regularity. No such analytic local solution exists, although the initial function itself is real analytic.
For , the exponent lies in , and . Consequently
The last inequality uses the positive-term power series for . The final bound tends to zero, so the squeeze theorem gives limit .
A complex power series with radius of convergence converges absolutely at every with and diverges at every with . This makes no general assertion at : boundary points must be examined separately. The series always converges at . If , no nonzero point lies in the convergence disk; if , the series converges absolutely throughout the complex plane.
If is the zero polynomial, every coefficient vanishes, so . Otherwise let be its degree and its leading coefficient. Since ,
The ratio test therefore proves absolute convergence when . For , the terms do not tend to zero, so the series diverges. Thus the polynomial-coefficient power series has for every nonzero polynomial. In fact, it also diverges at every , because does not tend to zero, whether or .
Introduce a parameter to keep track of total degree. The power series for the matrix exponential gives
Set and , where the commutator is . Expanding a second matrix exponential gives
Since
the two expressions agree through total degree two. More explicitly, applying the local matrix logarithm to the first expansion gives . This proves the displayed order of the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff formula. The Lie algebra is closed under the commutator, so its displayed exponent lies in the same Lie algebra. The expansion is a formal power series identity, or a convergent identity sufficiently near the identity matrix; this argument does not assert unrestricted global convergence.
The next two terms of the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff formula are the two cubic commutators:
Here means total degree at least four in . If one continues by one more degree, the quartic contribution is .
For the Pauli matrices, use the Pauli matrix multiplication law
Put . The antisymmetric term disappears when contracted with , so . Consequently every even power of equals , and every odd power equals . Splitting the matrix exponential into even and odd terms of its power series yields
The Pauli matrices are Hermitian matrices, and the components of are real, so . For real , the resulting matrix satisfies
Also and , so its two eigenvalues are . The eigenvalues of are therefore , whose product is one. Thus is a unitary matrix with determinant one: it belongs to the SU(2) group.
Multiplying the two exact Pauli matrix exponentials, and using , gives
In particular, the term has a minus sign. Its quadratic Taylor expansion is
Taking , , the Pauli matrix commutator identity gives . The quadratic exponent in the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff formula is therefore . In , only the linear part of contributes to through degree two. The anticommutator gives , reproducing the exact product's quadratic expansion.
Use the same method of multiple scales and its solvability condition in the method of multiple scales. The position-dependent damping function is odd, so the lemma that odd position-dependent damping has zero first-order amplitude drift applies. In its wave amplitude average, changes to its negative while preserving , so the average is zero. Hence ; the wave phase average again gives .
Equivalently, expand the position-dependent damping in its uniformly convergent power series for bounded . Each term has only even sine Fourier harmonics, so none resonates with the unit-frequency oscillator. With the initial wave amplitude and wave phase unchanged, the leading uniform approximation is
There is no first-order slow drift. Effects at the next order accumulate only an correction on this time scale.
Analytic continuation extends a holomorphic function by holomorphic elements agreeing on overlaps; along a path, a chain of overlapping neighbourhoods transports the initial element. The identity theorem makes compatible continuation unique on connected overlaps, although different paths can lead to different branches.
Choose the principal complex logarithm and the slit domain . On , the function
is holomorphic, with the removable value . The domain is simply connected, so has a primitive and its integral from to is independent of the path in . For , the uniformly convergent power series on compact subdiscs gives
Therefore is a single-valued analytic continuation of the dilogarithm to . The apparent problem at is removable; is a genuine branch point, even though the function has a finite one-sided limit there, because its derivative has a logarithmic singularity. Other cuts from to infinity give corresponding branches.
Every counted point has integer coordinates and lies in the square , while the origin is always counted. Hence
No precise circle-area estimate is needed; this elementary bound controls the growth of the power series coefficients.
The comparison test for series states that if , convergence of implies convergence of . Equivalently, divergence of the smaller nonnegative series forces divergence of the larger one.
For ,
For , the ratio of successive terms on the right tends to , so the ratio test and the comparison test for series show absolute convergence. The case is immediate.
If , then , so the terms do not tend to zero. The term test for divergence therefore rules out convergence, including every point on the boundary . Thus the radius of convergence is
The series converges exactly in the open unit disc. This is an example of polynomial coefficient growth with unit power-series radius: the lattice-count bound is polynomial rather than exponential.
For the exponent , the linear recurrence relation reduces to . The excluded nonpositive integers ensure that no denominator is zero. Normalize and iterate:
The ratio test gives an infinite radius of convergence for the power series factor. Hence a solution is
For nonintegral , choose instead the exponent . Since for every positive integer , its linear recurrence relation gives . Thus
The distinct nonintegral leading exponents establish linear independence. More explicitly, by the Abel identity and the leading coefficient at zero, so the Wronskian is nonzero. The factor uses the real branch on .
Use the physical Coulomb bound state boundary condition: the spherically symmetric wavefunction is regular at the origin and square integrable with measure . For , set
At large , the decaying branch behaves exponentially as . Substituting into the radial Schrödinger equation gives
The regular solution has a power series , with recurrence
A nonzero regular solution has . If the series does not terminate, its coefficients eventually have one sign after choosing an overall real phase. For any fixed and sufficiently large , the ratio of consecutive magnitudes is at least . The tail therefore grows at least as a positive constant times divided by a power of ; a finite polynomial of earlier terms cannot cancel it. Multiplication by leaves exponential growth, contradicting normalizability.
Thus the series must terminate at degree , where and is a positive integer. Conversely, termination gives a regular polynomial times , which is normalizable. Therefore
These are the members of the hydrogen spectrum. Regularity at the origin is essential: square integrability alone on the punctured radial interval would also admit a singular branch. Such a branch is not a physical eigenfunction of the ordinary three-dimensional Coulomb Hamiltonian; its singularity introduces an inadmissible point-source contribution. In the reduced radial variable , the physical condition is .
Non-characteristic. The first-order principal symbol is , which equals one on .
Set . The equation is equivalent to . Because is continuously differentiable, the Cauchy-Riemann equations imply that it is a holomorphic function of . Its convergent complex Taylor series restricts to a real power series along , so is a real analytic function.
For smooth-data instability of the Cauchy-Riemann Cauchy problem, choose
These are entire functions and satisfy the equation. Their initial derivatives obey , so every finite sum tends to zero. But
Thus analytic solutions can exist while continuous dependence on initial data fails for this smooth-data topology.
The Cauchy estimate follows directly from the differentiated Cauchy integral formula:
The circle has length , giving the bound for every integer .
Put and integrate on the straight segment . For fixed , a disc centred at with radius approaching stays inside . Applying the first-derivative Cauchy estimate there gives
Integrating its modulus and taking the supremum over is exactly the asserted integral estimate. The source cancels from .
To obtain a contraction mapping, use the weighted holomorphic norm on a shrinking time domain. Its finite-norm space consists of holomorphic functions on with zero initial value; the apparent quotient at is interpreted by a limit. Completeness follows because convergence in this norm implies locally uniform convergence of holomorphic functions, including near , and the limiting pointwise bounds give convergence in the norm.
Here is the explicit contraction estimate on a shrinking holomorphic domain. Write , , , and choose
Then and . The whole auxiliary polydisc lies inside , and its supremum of is at most . Consequently
Thus . Choose . The source is bounded on the closed polydisc, say by , and . Therefore maps the Banach space into itself and is a strict contraction mapping. The Banach fixed-point theorem gives a holomorphic fixed point with . Differentiating the integral identity yields , establishing this case of the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem.
Finally, near each real initial point, a real analytic function has a holomorphic extension . Apply the same construction to with and source , restricting the discs if necessary. This gives a local real analytic function of with the prescribed initial value. Equivalently the solution is wherever the extension is defined.
