Functions of a complex variable Definition
Disc of convergence
Builds on Power series in the complex plane
Definition
Let be a power series with center and complex coefficients . Its radius of convergence is an element of . Its disc of convergence is the open disc . It is empty if , and it is if .
Remarks
The series converges absolutely at each , and uniformly on each closed disc with . It diverges at each with . The Cauchy–Hadamard formula gives , with and . On the circle , the series can converge at all points, at some points, or at no point. For example, , and all have . On , the first converges nowhere, the second everywhere except at , and the third everywhere.
