Dans mathématiques, Abel's theorem pour power series relates a limit of a power series to the sum of its coefficients.
It is named after Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel.
Théorème[]
Laisse le Taylor series
be a power series with real coefficients
Suppose that the series
converge.
Alors
is continuous from the left at
C'est,
The same theorem holds for complex power series
provided that
entirely within a single Stolz sector, C'est, a region of the open unit disk where
for some fixed finite

Without this restriction, the limit may fail to exist: par exemple, the power series
0}{frac {z^{3^{n}}-z ^{2cdot 3^{n}}}{n}}}">
converge vers
à
but is unbounded near any point of the form
so the value at
is not the limit as
tends to 1 in the whole open disk.
Notez que
is continuous on the real closed interval
pour
by virtue of the uniform convergence of the series on compact subsets of the disk of convergence. Abel's theorem allows us to say more, namely that
is continuous on
Remarques[]
As an immediate consequence of this theorem, si
is any nonzero complex number for which the series
converge, then it follows that
in which the limit is taken from below.
The theorem can also be generalized to account for sums which diverge to infinity.[citation requise] Si
alors
Cependant, if the series is only known to be divergent, but for reasons other than diverging to infinity, then the claim of the theorem may fail: prendre, par exemple, the power series for
At
the series is equal to
mais
We also remark the theorem holds for radii of convergence other than
: laisser
be a power series with radius of convergence
and suppose the series converges at
Alors
is continuous from the left at
C'est,
Applications[]
The utility of Abel's theorem is that it allows us to find the limit of a power series as its argument (C'est,
) approches
from below, even in cases where the radius of convergence,
of the power series is equal to
and we cannot be sure whether the limit should be finite or not. See for example, la binomial series. Abel's theorem allows us to evaluate many series in closed form. Par exemple, lorsque
on obtient

is called the generating function of the sequence
Abel's theorem is frequently useful in dealing with generating functions of real-valued and non-negative séquences, tel que probability-generating functions. En particulier, it is useful in the theory of Galton–Watson processes.
Aperçu de la preuve[]
After subtracting a constant from

Notions connexes[]
Converses to a theorem like Abel's are called Tauberian theorems: There is no exact converse, but results conditional on some hypothesis. The field of divergent series, and their summation methods, contains many theorems of abelian type et of tauberian type.
