A power series = is convergent for some values of the variable x, which will always include x = c since () = and the sum of the series is thus for x = c. The series may diverge for other values of x , possibly all of them.
An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.
Example 2: The power series for g(z) = −ln(1 − z), expanded around z = 0, which is =, has radius of convergence 1, and diverges for z = 1 but converges for all other points on the boundary. The function f(z) of Example 1 is the derivative of g(z). Example 3: The power series
Plot of the generalized hypergeometric function pFq(a b z) with a=(2,4,6,8) and b=(2,3,5,7,11) in the complex plane from -2-2i to 2+2i created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D. In mathematics, a generalized hypergeometric series is a power series in which the ratio of successive coefficients indexed by n is a rational function of n.
Alternatively, the equality can be justified by multiplying the power series on the left by 1 − x, and checking that the result is the constant power series 1 (in other words, that all coefficients except the one of x 0 are equal to 0). Moreover, there can be no other power series with this property.
The probability generating function is an example of a generating function of a sequence: see also formal power series. It is equivalent to, and sometimes called, the z-transform of the probability mass function.

A formal power series can be loosely thought of as an object that is like a polynomial, but with infinitely many terms.Alternatively, for those familiar with power series (or Taylor series), one may think of a formal power series as a power series in which we ignore questions of convergence by not assuming that the variable X denotes any numerical value (not even an unknown value).
