Analysis I | Part IA, 2008

Let ∑n=0∞anzn\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n} z^{n} be a complex power series. Prove that there exists an R∈[0,∞]R \in[0, \infty] such that the series converges for every zz with ∣z∣<R|z|<R and diverges for every zz with ∣z∣>R|z|>R.

Find the value of RR for each of the following power series: (i) ∑n=1∞1n2zn\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}} z^{n}; (ii) ∑n=0∞zn!\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} z^{n !}.

In each case, determine at which points on the circle ∣z∣=R|z|=R the series converges.
