Here we employ a method called "indirect expansion" to expand the given function. This method uses the known Taylor expansion of the exponential function. In order to expand (1 + x)e x as a Taylor series in x, we use the known Taylor series of function e x:
Now its Taylor series centered at z 0 converges on any disc B(z 0, r) with r < |z − z 0 |, where the same Taylor series converges at z ∈ C. Therefore, Taylor series of f centered at 0 converges on B(0, 1) and it does not converge for any z ∈ C with |z| > 1 due to the poles at i and −i.
e aX e bX = e (a + b)X; e X e −X = I; Using the above results, we can easily verify the following claims. If X is symmetric then e X is also symmetric, and if X is skew-symmetric then e X is orthogonal. If X is Hermitian then e X is also Hermitian, and if X is skew-Hermitian then e X is unitary.
For instance, e x can be defined as (+). Or e x can be defined as f x (1), where f x : R → B is the solution to the differential equation df x / dt (t) = x f x (t), with initial condition f x (0) = 1; it follows that f x (t) = e tx for every t in R.
The original proof is based on the Taylor series expansions of the exponential function e z (where z is a complex number) and of sin x and cos x for real numbers x . In fact, the same proof shows that Euler's formula is even valid for all complex numbers x .
If the analytic function f has the Taylor expansion = + + + then a matrix function () can be defined by substituting x by a square matrix: powers become matrix powers, additions become matrix sums and multiplications by coefficients become scalar multiplications.
Define e x as the value of the infinite series = =! = + +! +! +! + (Here n! denotes the factorial of n. One proof that e is irrational uses a special case of this formula.) Inverse of logarithm integral.
A Laurent series is a generalization of the Taylor series, allowing terms with negative exponents; it takes the form = and converges in an annulus. [6] In particular, a Laurent series can be used to examine the behavior of a complex function near a singularity by considering the series expansion on an annulus centered at the singularity.
