i need to prove that if f and and g are analytic functions in (-a,a) then so is fg.

well basically i need to find the radius of convergence of fg, which its coefficient is: [tex]c_n=\sum_{i=0}^{n} b_i*a_{n-i}[/tex], by using cauchy hadamard theorom for finding the radius of convergence, and to show that it's not greater than a.
well limsup |c_n|^1/n, then [tex]c_n=a_0b_n+...+a_nb_0[/tex]
now i think that [tex](c_n)^{\frac{1}{n}}<= ((n+1)(\max_{n \in N}(|a_n|,||b_n|))^2)^{1/n}[/tex]
i think this inequality also applies to alternating sequences.
anyway i don't know how bound it below.

But this isn't true. If f is analytic in some region, then gf is analytic in that region if f maps into some region in which g is analytic. And the converse is certainly false.
 
He's talking about the product of f and g, not the composition.
 
Ah! Now why didn't I think of that? (Suggestions not necessary.)
 
yes I am talking of the prodcut.
anyway, i think this appraoch of mine isn't correct.
i think that bassically in order to prove it you need to use here cauchy's product.
i.e if two partial sums f_n and g_n converges absolutely then also their cauchy's product converges absolutely.
bassically here we assume that both g and f converges in 0<r<a, in [-r,r] they converge absolutely so also their cauchy product converges absolutely at [-r,r].
is this better than my other obvoiusly faulty answer?
