Radius of convergence. In mathematics, the radius of convergence of a power series is the radius of the largest disk at the center of the series in which the series converges. It is either a non-negative real number or . When it is positive, the power series converges absolutely and uniformly on compact sets inside the open disk of radius equal ...
hide. In mathematics, the Cauchy–Hadamard theorem is a result in complex analysis named after the French mathematicians Augustin Louis Cauchy and Jacques Hadamard, describing the radius of convergence of a power series. It was published in 1821 by Cauchy, [ 1 ] but remained relatively unknown until Hadamard rediscovered it. [ 2 ]
Definition. A sequence of real-valued random variables, with cumulative distribution functions , is said to converge in distribution, or converge weakly, or converge in law to a random variable X with cumulative distribution function F if. for every number at which is continuous.
The Cauchy convergence test is a method used to test infinite series for convergence. It relies on bounding sums of terms in the series. It relies on bounding sums of terms in the series. This convergence criterion is named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy who published it in his textbook Cours d'Analyse 1821.
The radius of this disc is known as the radius of convergence, and can in principle be determined from the asymptotics of the coefficients a n. The convergence is uniform on closed and bounded (that is, compact) subsets of the interior of the disc of convergence: to wit, it is uniformly convergent on compact sets.
This is also known as the nth root test or Cauchy's criterion. where denotes the limit superior (possibly ; if the limit exists it is the same value). If r < 1, then the series converges absolutely. If r > 1, then the series diverges. If r = 1, the root test is inconclusive, and the series may converge or diverge.
Weierstrass M-test. In mathematics, the Weierstrass M-test is a test for determining whether an infinite series of functions converges uniformly and absolutely. It applies to series whose terms are bounded functions with real or complex values, and is analogous to the comparison test for determining the convergence of series of real or complex ...
e. In mathematics, the ratio test is a test (or "criterion") for the convergence of a series. where each term is a real or complex number and an is nonzero when n is large. The test was first published by Jean le Rond d'Alembert and is sometimes known as d'Alembert's ratio test or as the Cauchy ratio test.
