Term-by-term integration of power series
Inside the radius of convergence, a power series can be integrated term-by-term
Term-by-term integration of power series
Term-by-term integration of power series: Let have radius of convergence . Define Then has the same radius of convergence , and for all , Equivalently, for with ,
This result provides an explicit antiderivative of a power series inside its disk/interval of convergence and is used to compute integrals and derive expansions.
Proof sketch: Fix . The series for converges uniformly on , so one may integrate partial sums term-by-term and then pass to the limit using uniform convergence and integration .
