Homework Statement


Give an example of a power series with R=1[\itex] that converges uniformly for |z|\le 1[\itex], but such that its derived series converges nowhere for |z=1|[\itex].<br /> <br /> <h2>Homework Equations</h2><br /> R is the radius of convergence and the derived series is the term by term derivative.<br /> <br /> <h2>The Attempt at a Solution</h2><br /> I've tried a bunch of stuff but at the moment I'm leaning towards some variation of the power series for the sin function.<br /> It would be nice if there was a way to solve this without guessing and checking a bunch of times.

Sorry, I'm not sure why my latex commands aren't taking.
 
You want a forward slash to terminate, not a backslash.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
