For a series ∑n​an​xmn​ with distinct increasing integer exponents, define the ordinary coefficients to be an​ at mn​ and zero elsewhere. The Cauchy-Hadamard theorem then gives
R−1=limsupn​∣an​∣1/mn​.
(1)
The exponent in the root is the actual degree mn​, not the index n. For an​=(n!)2 and mn​=n2, 0≤2log(n!)/n2≤2logn/n→0, so R=1. Boundary behavior is a separate question.
