Multiplication of multiple summations of complex functions

I have a series that looks like $\sum_{l,m,n}\frac{A^{l}B^{m}C^{n}}{l!m!n!}$ where $A$ is a complex function and $B$ and $C$ are real functions. The summation is finite up to some cutoff $p$. $A$, $B$,...

What is the Radius of Convergene of $f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac1{4^n}z^{2n+1}$

Here's what I have: $f(z) = z + \frac14z^3+\frac1{4^2}z^5+...$ So, my coefficients are either $0$ or $\frac1{4^n}$ with $\frac1{4^n}$ being the supremum. So, $\limsup \limits_{n \to \infty} |c_n|^{\...

Find the radius of convergence of $\sum_{i=0}^\infty a_n$ where $\sum_{i=0}^\infty 2^n a_n$ converges, but $\sum_{i=0}^\infty (-1)^n2_na_n$ diverges [closed]

From this example: $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ converges and $\sum_{n=1}^\infty|a_n|$ diverges. Then Radius of convergence? I believe I'm supposed to leverage these two statements to show that $R \leq |z|$...

Show $\liminf_n |\sum^n a_kb_{n-k}|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = \liminf_n |a_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}}$?

Suppose for some complex $a_n$ and $b_n$ such that $\liminf_n |a_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = \liminf_n |b_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}}= R$. Show that $\liminf_n |\sum^n a_kb_{n-k}|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = R$? I'm somehow ...

Replacing $n!$ with Stirling's approximation in $e^x = \sum_n \frac{x^n}{n!}$

I was wondering if there is a closed-form expression for $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{e^{-n}n^n},$$ although I expect there is none because Mathematica cannot compute it. However, from Stirling'...

Laurent expansion for $\sqrt{z(z-1)}$

Let $f(z) = \sqrt{z(z-1)}$. The branch cut is the real interval $[0,1]$, and $f(z)>0$ for real $z$ that are greater than 1. I need to find the first few terms of the Laurent expansion of $f(z)$ for ...

Difficult De Moivre's theorem question involving series

Use De Moivre's theorem to show that $$\sin (2m+1) \theta = (\sin^{2m+1} \theta) \cdot P_m (\cot^2 \theta)$$ for $0 < \theta < \pi/2$, where $$P_m(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{m} (-1)^k C^{2m+1}_{2k+1} ...

Proving an identity with geometric series.

I've been at this for MANY hours and I think it's time I sought help. Question: Given $k = \frac{2 \pi}{Na}\left ( p-\frac{N}{2} \right )$, prove that $\sum_{k=1}^{N}e^{ika\left ( n-m \right )}=N\...

Close form of a power series starting at $n=2$

This is the power series I am looking at $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}{n(n-1)z^n}$. I want to find the closed form of this power series. This is my approach, if I divide the power series by $z^2$, then I ...

What is the series expansion of $f(z)\cdot\exp\left({s\,\log(z)}\right)$?

For analytic $f$, how can I represent the expression $f(z)\cdot\exp\left({s\,\log(z)}\right)$, i.e. $f(z)\cdot z^s$ in the form $$\sum_{n}^\infty\left(\sum_{k}^\infty a_k s^k\right)z^n,$$ at least ...

Prove that $f(z) = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty \frac{z^{2^k}}{2^k}$ is continuous in the closed unit disc and holomorphic inside it.

I have started off by assuming that there is a disc of radius $r$ for which $|z|<r$ for $r \in (0,1)$ and $z \in D_r$. This implies that $|z|^{2^k} < r^{2^k}$ And after that, I don't know ...
