  2. Power series - Wikipedia

    However, Abel's theorem states that if the series is convergent for some value z such that | z – c | = r, then the sum of the series for x = z is the limit of the sum of the series for x = c + t (z – c) where t is a real variable less than 1 that tends to 1.

    If X is a discrete random variable taking values x in the non-negative integers {0,1, ...}, then the probability generating function of X is defined as [1] G ( z ) = E ⁡ ( z X ) = ∑ x = 0 ∞ p ( x ) z x , {\displaystyle G(z)=\operatorname {E} (z^{X})=\sum _{x=0}^{\infty }p(x)z^{x},} where p {\displaystyle p} is the probability mass ...

    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.

    To determine the value (), note that we rotated the plane so that the line x+y = z now runs vertically with x-intercept equal to c. So c is just the distance from the origin to the line x + y = z along the perpendicular bisector, which meets the line at its nearest point to the origin, in this case ( z / 2 , z / 2 ) {\displaystyle (z/2,z/2)\,} .

  7. Formal power series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_power_series

    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).

  8. Radius of convergence - Wikipedia

    Therefore, the absolute value of e z can be 1 only if e x is 1; since x is real, that happens only if x = 0. Therefore z is purely imaginary and cos(y) + i sin(y) = 1. Since y is real, that happens only if cos(y) = 1 and sin(y) = 0, so that y is an integer multiple of 2 π. Consequently the singular points of this function occur at
