Expanding f(x,y) with Double Taylor Series

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on expanding an analytic function f(x,y) using a Double Taylor Series. The initial expansion is performed by treating y as a variable and x as a constant, resulting in f(x,y) = ∑(n=0 to ∞) a_n (x) y^n. Subsequently, the coefficients a_n(x) are expanded into powers of x, leading to f(x,y) = ∑(n=0 to ∞) ∑(m=0 to ∞) b_n x^m y^n. The key question raised is whether this method yields the same result as directly applying the Double Taylor Series, highlighting the importance of the order of summation and the conditions under which it can be rearranged.

Let be an analytic function f(x,y) so we want to take its Taylor series, my question is if we can do this:

-First we expand f(x,y) on powers of y considering x a constant so:

[tex]f(x,y)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n} (x)y^{n}[/tex]

and then we expand a(n,x) for every n into powers of x so we have..

[tex]f(x,y)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}b_{n}x^{m} y^{n}[/tex]

I don't know if the result will be the same that taking the "Double Taylor series " for the function f(x,y) :confused: :confused: :confused:

b_n should be b_m, and you're just asking about when you can reorder summation which is a well known property of certain sums, and not others.
 
bn should be bn,m.
