Then $\sum a_n x^n$ converges uniformly on $(-r, r)$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Define $f, f_m : (-r, r) \to \RR$ by $f(x) = \sum_{n = 0}^\infty a_n x^n$ and $f_m(x) = \sum_{n = 0}^m a_n x^n$. Recall that $\sum a_n x^n$ converges absolutely for all $x \in (-r, r)$. Then \begin{align*} |f(x) - f_m(x)| &= \left| \sum_{n = m + 1}^\infty a_n x^n \right| \\ &\le \sum_{n = m + 1}^\infty |a_n| |x|^n \\ &\le \sum_{n = m + 1}^\infty |a_n| r^n \end{align*} which converges by absolute convergence at $r$. Hence if $m$ sufficiently large, $f - f_m$ is bounded and \[ \sup_{x \in (-r, r)} |f(x) - f_m(x)| \le \sum_{n = m + 1}^\infty |a_n| r^n \to 0 \] as $m \to \infty$ by absolute convergence at $r$. \end{proof} \begin{theorem} Let $\sum a_n x^n$ be a real power series with radius of convergence $R > 0$. Define $f : (-R, R)$ by $f(x) = \sum_{n = 0}^\infty a_n x^n$. Then \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item $f$ is continuous; \item for any $x \in (-R, R)$ $f$ is integrable over $[0, x]$ with \[ \int_0^x f = \sum_{n = 0}^\infty \frac{a_n}{n + 1} x^{n + 1} \] \end{enumerate} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Let $x \in (-R, R)$. Pick $r$ such that $x < r < R$. By Lemma 8, $\sum a_n y^n$ converges uniformly on $(-r, r)$. But the partial sum functions $y \mapsto \sum_{n = 0}^m a_n y^n$ ($m \ge 0$) are all continuous functions on $(-r, r)$. Hence by Theorem 4, $f_{(-r, r)}$ is continuous. Hence $f$ is continuous at $x$. Thus $f$ is a continuous function on $(-R, R)$. More over, $[0, x] \subset (-r, r)$ so also have $\sum a_n y^n$ converges uniformly on $[0, x]$. Each partial sum function on $[0, x]$ is a polynomial so can be integrated with \[ \int_0^x \sum_{n = 0}^m a_n y^n \dd y = \sum_{n = 0}^m \int_0^x a_n y^n \dd y = \sum_{n = 0}^m \frac{a_n}{n + 1} x^{n + 1} \] Hence by Theorem 5, $f$ is integrable over $[0, x]$ with \begin{align*} \int_0^x f &= \lim_{m \to \infty} \int_0^x \sum_{n = 0}^m a_n y^n \dd y \\ &= \lim_{m \to \infty} \sum_{n = 0}^m \frac{a_n}{n + 1} x^{n + 1} \\ &= \sum_{n = 0}^\infty \frac{a_n}{n + 1} x^{n + 1} \qedhere \end{align*} \end{proof} \myskip For differentiation, need technical lemma: \begin{lemma} Let $\sum a_n x^n$ be a real power series with radius of convergence $R > 0$. Then the power series $\sum_{n \ge 1} na_n x^{n - 1}$ has radius of convergence at least $R$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Let $x \in \RR$, $0 < x < \RR$. Pick $w$ with $x < w < R$. Then $\sum a_n w^n$ is absolutely convergent, so $a_n w^n \to 0$ so $\exists M$ such that $\forall n$, $|a_n w^n| \le M$. For each $n$, \[ |na_n x^{n - 1}| = |a_n w^n| \left| \frac{x}{w} \right|^n \frac{1}{|x|} n \] Fix $n$. Let $\alpha = \left| \frac{x}{w} \right| < 1$. Let $c = \frac{M}{|x|}$ be a constant. Then $|n a_n x^{n - 1}| \le cn\alpha^n$. By comparison test, sufficient to show $\sum na^n$ converges. Note \[ \left| \frac{(n + 1)\alpha^{n + 1}}{n \alpha^n} \right| = \left( 1 + \frac{1}{n} \right) \alpha \to \alpha < 1 \] as $n \to \infty$ so done by ratio test. \end{proof} \begin{theorem} Let $\sum a_n x^n$ be a real power series with radius of convergence $R > 0$. Let $f : (-R, R) \to \RR$ be defined by $f(x) = \sum_{n = 0}^\infty a_n x^n$. Then $f$ is differentiable and $\forall x \in (-R, R)$, $f'(x) = \sum_{n = 1}^\infty na_n x^{n - 1}$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Let $x \in (-R, R)$. Pick $r$ with $|x| < r < R$. Then $\sum a_n y^n$ converges uniformly on $(-r, r)$. Moreover, the power series $\sum_{n \ge 1} na_n y^{n - 1}$ has radius of convergence at least $R$ and so also converges uniformly on $(-r, r)$. The partial sum functions $f_m(y) = \sum_{n = 0}^m a_n y^n$ are polynomials so differentiable with $f_m'(y) = \sum_{n = 1}^m na_n y^{n - 1}$. \\ We now have $f_m'$ converging uniformly on $(-r, r)$ to the function $g(y) = \sum_{n = 1}^\infty na_n y^{n - 1}$. Hence by Theorem 6, $f_{(-r, r)}$ is differentiable and $\forall y \in (-r, r)$, $f'(y) = g(y)$. In particular, $f$ is differentiable at $x$ with $f'(x) = g(x)$. Hence $f$ is a differentiable function on $(-R, R)$ with derivative $g$ as described. \end{proof} \begin{hiddenflashcard}[power-series-properties] Let $f(x) = \sum_{n = 0}^\infty a_n x^n$ be a power series with radius of convergence $R$. Then $f$ is continuous, integrable and differentiable. (and the integral and derivative have the expected power series with radius of convergence $R$). \\ Proof: \\ \cloze{ For all these facts, pick $0 < r < R$ so that we get uniform convergence on $(-r, r)$. \\ For the continuity fact, use the fact that uniform limit of continuous functions is continuous. \\ For the integrable fact, this is immediate from the fact that uniform limit of integrable functions is integrable (need to also use the fact that the limit of the integrals converges to the integral of the limit). \\ For the derivative fact, it is important to first show that the derivative of all the partial sums has radius of convergence $R$ (so that we can get uniform convergence on $(-r, r)$). We also need to check that the derivatives are continuous (but this is clearly true since they are all polynomials). Now by the fact about uniform limits of continuously differentiable functions, we deduce that $f$ is differentiable with the expected power series representation. } \end{hiddenflashcard} \subsection{Uniform Continuity} Let $X \subset \RR$. Let $f : X \to \RR$. (May as well think of $X = \RR$ or $X = (a, b)$). Recall that $f$ is \emph{continuous} if \[ \forall \eps > 0 ~ \forall x \in X ~ \exists \delta > 0 ~ \forall y \in X \quad |x - y| < \delta \implies |f(x) - f(y)| < \eps \] \begin{definition*}[Uniform continuity] We say that $f$ is \emph{uniformly continuous} if \[ \forall \eps > 0 ~ \exists \delta > 0 ~ \forall x, y \in X \quad |x - y| < \delta \implies |f(x) - f(y)| < \eps \] \end{definition*} \begin{remark*} Clearly if $f$ is uniformly continuous then $f$ is continuous. \end{remark*} \noindent We would suspect that $f$ is continuous doesn't imply that $f$ is uniformly continuous. \begin{example*} A function $f : \RR \to \RR$ that is continuous but not uniformly continuous. Consider $f(x) = x^2$. We know $f$ is continuous (as it's a polynomial). Suppose $\delta > 0$. Then \[ f(x + \delta) - f(x) = (x + \delta)^2 - x^2 = 2\delta x + \delta^2 \to \infty \] as $x \to \infty$. So in particular, $\forall \delta > 0$, $\exists x, y \in \RR$ such that $|x - y| < \delta$ but $f(x) - f(y)| \ge 1$. So condition for uniformly continuous fails for $\eps = 1$. So $f$ is not uniformly continuous. \end{example*} \begin{example*} Make domain bounded, and we can still fail. Consider $f : (0, 1) \to \RR$, $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$. Clearly continuous. Check not uniform continuity as an exercise. \end{example*}
