Power Series 87 be harmonic in the circle K: |2—2%)|< R and continuous in the closure K. Then Pa u(q)= oo | u@+Ri) dg. (10.6) a Proof. Suppose f (2) is a function that is regular in the circle K and such that Re f (z) = u (2). By the mean value theorem we have an fad= ge | Morel") dg, O R, we arrive at (10.6). The proof of the theorem is complete. 11 Power Series 11.1 Domain of convergence of a power series A power series is a series of the form 2, en (s—a)", (44.4) where a and c, (n = 0, 1, 2, .. .) are given complex numbers, and z is the complex valued variable. At a = 0 the series (11.1) takes the form 3 ca”. (44.2) =o Obviously, all the properties of power series of the type (14.2) are valid for (11.1). The domain of convergence of the power series (11.2) is the set of all points z at which (11.2) is convergent. Point z = 0 always belongs to the domain of convergence of (11.2). There are power series that converge only at z = 0 (see Example 3). Example 1. The series By (-trs is convergent at |z|<4 = and divergent at |z|>1. 0 Ezample 2, The series > is convergent in the the entire n=0 88 Regular Functions complex plane because for each z there is a positive integer n» such that at > no we have | z/n |< 1/2, i.e. | 2"/n™ |< 1/2", from which the convergence of the series at point z follows. Example 3. The series 3) n"2" is convergent only at z=0 n=0 because z 0, then forn > 4/| s | wehave | nz | >4and|nz "*>4 (the necessary condition for convergence of a series is not met). O Theorem 1 (Abel’s theorem) I/ a power series of the type (11.2) is convergent at a point z, # 0, it is absolutely convergent in the circle Ko: |2 |< | 2 |, while in any smaller circle Ky: |2 |< Ry< | 20) this series is uniformly convergent. Proof. In view of the fact that (11.2) is convergent at point 2 we have lim c,z? = 0, and, hence, there is a positive constant M such that for all n we have | ¢qz?!| R this series is divergent. Abel’s theorem leads to the following Corollary 1 The series (41.2) is convergent in the cirele K:|z| < R, while in any smaller circle |z |< R,
