SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on proving that the series \(\sum_{n=1}^{∞}[1−\cos(n−1z)]\) is entire. Participants emphasize the need to demonstrate differentiability across the entire domain. The suggested approach involves using the ratio test and expanding the cosine function into a power series to analyze the convergence of the summed series. This method is confirmed as a valid strategy for establishing the entire nature of the function.
