View Full Version : Eventual boundedness of nth derivative of an analytic function in L2 norm

I'm trying to show that if f(x) is analytic, then for large enough n,

|| f^{(n)} (x) || \leq c n! || f(x) ||,

where
|| f ||^2=\int_a^b{|f|^2}dx

and f^{(n)} denotes the nth derivative.

I tried to use the Taylor series, and then manipulated some inequalities, but I wasn't getting anywhere.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I figure I can reduce the problem to showing that there is an N such that for all n>N, and for all x\in(-R,R),


| f^{(n)} (x) | \leq c n! | f(x) |
.


Is this necessarily true for analytic functions?
