For
a
series
∑
n
a
n
x
m
n
with distinct increasing
integer
exponents
,
define
the ordinary
coefficients
to be
a
n
at
m
n
and zero elsewhere. The
Cauchy-Hadamard theorem
then gives
R
−
1
=
lim
sup
n
∣
a
n
∣
1/
m
n
.

The
exponent
in the
root
is the actual degree
m
n
, not the index
n
. For
a
n
=
(
n
!
)
2
and
m
n
=
n
2
,
0
≤
2
lo
g
(
n
!)
/
n
2
≤
2
lo
g
n
/
n
→
0
, so
R
=
1
. Boundary behavior is
a
separate question.
