Chapter 11 Infinite Sequences and Series 1
11. 1 Sequences 2
What u a sequence n n n A sequence is a list of numbers in a given order. Each a is a term of the sequence. Example of a sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, …, 2 n, … n is called the index of an 3
n n In the previous example, a general term an of index n in the sequence is described by the formula an= 2 n. We denote the sequence in the previous example by {an} = {2, 4, 6, 8, …} In a sequence the order is important: 2, 4, 6, 8, … and …, 8, 6, 4, 2 are not the same 4

Note that f(x) is continuous on x=L, and is defined for all x= an = 1/n According to Theorem 3, limn ∞ f(an) = f(L) LHS: limn ∞ f(an) = limn ∞ f(1/n) = limn ∞ 21/n RHS = f(L) = 2 L = 20 = 1 Equating LHS = RHS, we have limn ∞ 21/n = 1 the sequence {21/n} converges to 1 14

n n n Example 12 Nondecreasing sequence (a) 1, 2, 3, 4, …, n, … (b) ½, 2/3, ¾, 4/5 , …, n/(n+1), … (nondecreasing because an+1 -an ≥ 0) (c) {3} = {3, 3, 3, …} Two kinds of nondecreasing sequences: bounded and non-bounded. 22
n n Example 13 Applying the definition for boundedness (a) 1, 2, 3, …, n, …has no upper bound (b) ½, 2/3, ¾, 4/5 , …, n/(n+1), …is bounded from above by M = 1. Since no number less than 1 is an upper bound for the sequence, so 1 is the least upper bound. 23

Short hand notation for infinite series n The infinite series may converge or diverge 30
Geometric series n Geometric series are the series of the form a + ar 2 + ar 3 + …+ arn-1 +…= a and r = an+1/an are fixed numbers and a 0. r is called the ratio. Three cases: r < 1, r > 1, r =1. 31
Proof of for |r|<1 32
For cases |r|≥ 1 33
34
Example 2 Index starts with n=0 n The series n is a geometric series with a=5, r=-(1/4). It converges to s∞= a/(1 -r) = 5/(1+1/4) = 4 35
Example 5 A nongeometric but telescopic series n n Find the sum of the series Solution 36
Divergent series n Example 6 37
The nth-term test for divergence n n n Let S be the convergent limit of the series, i. e. limn ∞ sn = =S When n is large, sn and sn-1 are close to S This means an = sn – sn-1 an = S – S = 0 as n ∞ 38
n Question: will the series converge if an 0? 39
Example 7 Applying the nth-term test 40
Example 8 an 0 but the series diverges n n The terms are grouped into clusters that add up to 1, so the partial sum increases without bound the series diverges Yet an=2 -n 0 41
n n n Corollary: Every nonzero constant multiple of a divergent series diverges If San converges and Sbn diverges, then S(an+bn) and S(an- bn) both diverges. 42
n n Question: If San and Sbn both diverges, must S(an bn) diverge? 43
44
11. 3 The Integral Test 45
Nondecreasing partial sums n n Suppose {an} is a sequence with an > 0 for all n Then, the partial sum sn+1 = sn+an ≥ sn The partial sum form a nondecreasing sequence Theorem 6, the Nondecreasing Sequence Theorem tells us that the series converges if and only if the partial sums are bounded from above. 46
47
Example 1 The harmonic series n The series diverges. n Consider the sequence of partial sum n The partial sum of the first 2 k term in the series, sn > k/2, where k=0, 1, 2, 3… This means the partial sum, sn, is not bounded from above. Hence, by the virtue of Corollary 6, the harmonic series diverges n n 48

Example 4 A convergent series 51
Caution n n The integral test only tells us whether a given series converges or otherwise The test DOES NOT tell us what the convergent limit of the series is (in the case where the series converges), as the series and the integral need not have the same value in the convergent case. 52

11. 6 Alternating Series, Absolute and Conditional Convergence 67
Alternating series n A series in which the terms are alternately positive and negative 68
The alternating harmonic series converges because it satisfies the three requirements of Leibniz’s theorem. 69
70
71
72
73
In other words, if a series converges absolutely, it converges. 74
Caution n All series that are absolutely convergent converges. But the converse is not true, namely, not all convergent series are absolutely convergent. Think of series that is conditionally convergent. These are convergent series that are not absolutely convergent. 75

83
The radius of convergence of a power series 84
R a-R R a |x–a|<R a+R x 85
n n R is called the radius of convergence of the power series The interval of radius R centered at x = a is called the interval of convergence The interval of convergence may be open, closed, or half-open: [a-R, a+R], (a-R, a+R), [a-R, a+R) or (a-R, a+R] A power series converges for all x that lies within the interval of convergence. 86
See example 3 (previous slides and determine their interval of convergence 87
88
89
Caution n n Power series is term-by-term differentiable However, in general, not all series is term-byterm differentiable, e. g. the trigonometric series is not (it’s not a power series) 90
A power series can be integrated term by term throughout its interval of convergence 91

11. 8 Taylor and Maclaurin Series 96
Series Representation n In the previous topic we see that an infinite series represents a function. The converse is also true, namely: A function that is infinitely differentiable f(x) can be expressed as a power series n We say: The function f(x) generates the power series The power series generated by the infinitely differentiable function is called Taylor series. The Taylor series provide useful polynomial approximations of the generating functions n n 97
Finding the Taylor series representation n In short, given an infinitely differentiable function f(x), we would like to find out what is the Taylor series representation of f(x), i. e. what is the coefficients of bn in In addition, we would also need to work out the interval of x in which the Taylor series representation of f(x) converges. In generating the Taylor series representation of a generating function, we need to specify the point x=a at which the Taylor series is to be generated. 98
Note: Maclaurin series is effectively a special case of Taylor series with a = 0. 99
Example 1 Finding a Taylor series n n n Find the Taylor series generated by f(x)=1/x at a= 2. Where, if anywhere, does the series converge to 1/x? f(x) = x-1; f '(x) = -x-2; f (n)(x) = (-1)n n! x(n+1) The Taylor series is 100
*Mathematica simulation 101
Taylor polynomials n Given an infinitely differentiable function f, we can approximate f(x) at values of x near a by the Taylor polynomial of f, i. e. f(x) can be approximated by f(x) ≈ Pn(x), where n Pn(x) = Taylor polynomial of degree n of f generated at x=a. Pn(x) is simply the first n terms in the Taylor series of f. The remainder, |Rn(x)| = | f(x) - Pn(x)| becomes smaller if higher order approximation is used In other words, the higher the order n, the better is the approximation of f(x) by Pn(x) In addition, the Taylor polynomial gives a close fit to f near the point x = a, but the error in the approximation can be large at points that are far away. n n 102

11. 9 Convergence of Taylor Series; Error Estimates 108
n n When does a Taylor series converge to its generating function? ANS: The Taylor series converge to its generating function if the |remainder| = |Rn(x)| = |f(x)-Pn(x)| 0 as n ∞ 109
Rn(x) is called the remainder of order n y f(a) f(x) 0 a c x x 110
f(x) = Pn(x) + Rn(x) for each x in I. If Rn(x) 0 as n ∞, Pn(x) converges to f(x), then we can write 111
Example 1 The Taylor series for ex revisited n n Show that the Taylor series generated by f(x)=ex at x=0 converges to f(x) for every value of x. Note: This can be proven by showing that |Rn| 0 when n ∞ 112

The binomial series for powers and roots n Consider the Taylor series generated by f(x) = (1+x)m, where m is a constant: 120
The binomial series for powers and roots n This series is called the binomial series, converges absolutely for |x| < 1. (The convergence can be determined by using Ratio test, In short, the binomial series is the Taylor series for f(x) = (1+x)m, where m a constant 121

11. 11 Fourier Series 128
‘Weakness’ of power series approximation n n In the previous lesson, we have learnt to approximate a given function using power series approximation, which give good fit if the approximated power series representation is evaluated near the point it is generated For point far away from the point the power series being generated, the approximation becomes poor In addition, the series approximation works only within the interval of convergence. Outside the interval of convergence, the series representation fails to represent the generating function Fourier series, our next topic, provide an alternative to overcome such shortage 129

Can we still use to represent f(x) on [a, b]? 144
