SUMMARY

The discussion centers on proving that a function f is analytic and possesses all orders of derivatives. The user explores the implications of the inequality |f(z)| ≤ |z^n| and its derivatives, ultimately questioning the validity of taking derivatives of inequalities without justification. The user cites the example of f(x) = sin(e^x) to illustrate potential pitfalls in derivative comparisons. The mention of Taylor's theorem suggests a pathway to solidify the proof, indicating that the relationship between analytic functions and polynomials is crucial in this context.

f is analytic and has all orders of derivatives.

I'm trying to prove something here but doing this makes me uneasy... is there anything wrong with saying:

If |f(z)| \leq |z^{n}| then,

|f'(z)| \leq |nz^{n-1}| so

|f''(z)| \leq |n(n-1)z^{n-2}|
.
.
.

|f^{n}(z)| \leq n!z^{0}

|f^{n}(z)| \leq n!

|f^{n+1}(z)| \leq 0

|f^{n+1}(z)| = 0

I can find no support for taking the derivative of the inequality like this in my calc book.

Taking the derivative of both sides of the inequality is not justified. For example, consider f(x) = sin(e^x) for x > 1. |f(x)| < x^2 but it is not that case that |f'(x)| = |e^x cos(e^x)| < 2x (for example, when x=ln(2*pi)). However, the fact that youre comparing an analytic function to a polynomial in z makes me think that Taylor's theorem may help you.

Thanks. IT just seemed way too easy.

How do they solve differential inequalities then, I wonder.
