9.31 Given that two power series ∑ a n z n has radius of convergence 2.<br />

Find the radius convergence of each of the following series: In (a) and (b), k<br />

is a fixed positive integer.<br />

(a) ∑ ∞<br />

n=0 ak nz n<br />

Proof: Since<br />

2 =<br />

we know that the radius of ∑ ∞<br />

n=0 ak nz n is<br />

1<br />

, (*)<br />

1/n<br />

lim n→∞ sup |a n |<br />

1<br />

lim n→∞ sup |a k n| 1/n = 1<br />

(lim n→∞ sup |a n | 1/n) k = 2k .<br />

(b) ∑ ∞<br />

n=0 a nz kn<br />

Proof: Consider<br />

which implies that<br />

lim sup ∣ an z kn∣ ∣ 1/n = lim sup |a n | 1/n |z| k < 1<br />

n→∞ n→∞<br />

(<br />

) 1/k<br />

1<br />

|z| <<br />

= 2 1/k by (*).<br />

lim n→∞ sup |a n | 1/n<br />

So, the radius of ∑ ∞<br />

n=0 a nz kn is 2 1/k .<br />

(c) ∑ ∞<br />

n=0 a nz n2<br />

Proof: Consider<br />

∣<br />

∣ ∣∣<br />

1/n<br />

lim sup ∣a n z n2 = lim sup |a n | 1/n |z| n<br />

n→∞<br />

and claim that the radius of ∑ ∞<br />

n=0 a nz n2 is 1 as follows.<br />

If |z| < 1, it is clearly seen that the series converges. However, if |z| > 1,<br />

lim sup |a n| 1/n lim inf |z| n ≤ lim sup |a n | 1/n |z| n<br />

n→∞ n→∞ n→∞<br />
