Taylor Series



We now generalize our work on Taylor's theorem to define the Taylor series of an infinitely many times differentiable function as a power series. We prove convergence (always) of the Taylor series and give criteria for when the sum of this series is the original function.

Definitions



Let J be a proper interval and F an infinitely many times differentiable function in J. Let a be a point of J.

Section Definitions.

Variable J : interval.
Hypothesis pJ : proper J.

Variable F : PartIR.
Hypothesis diffF : forall n : N, Diffble_n n J pJ F.

Variable a : IR.
Hypothesis Ha : J a.

Definition Taylor_Series' :=
  FPowerSeries' a (fun n : N => N_Deriv _ _ _ _ (diffF n) a Ha).

Assume also that f is the sequence of derivatives of F.

Variable f : N -> PartIR.
Hypothesis derF : forall n, Derivative_n n J pJ F (f n).

Definition Taylor_Series := FPowerSeries' a
 (fun n => f n a (Derivative_n_imp_inc' _ _ _ _ _ (derF n) _ Ha)).


Characterizations of the Taylor remainder.

Lemma Taylor_Rem_char : forall n H x Hx Hx' Hx'',
 F x Hx[-]∑0 (S n) Taylor_Series x Hx' [=] Taylor_Rem J pJ F a x Ha Hx'' n H.


Lemma abs_Taylor_Rem_char : forall n H x Hx Hx' Hx'',
 AbsIR (F x Hx[-]∑0 (S n) Taylor_Series x Hx') [=]
   AbsIR (Taylor_Rem J pJ F a x Ha Hx'' n H).

Section Convergence_in_IR.

Convergence



Our interval is now the real line. We begin by proving some helpful continuity properties, then define a boundedness condition for the derivatives of F that guarantees convergence of its Taylor series to F.

Hypothesis H : proper (-∞,+∞).

Variable F : PartIR.

Variable a : IR.
Hypothesis Ha : (-∞,+∞) a.

Variable f : N -> PartIR.
Hypothesis derF : forall n, Derivative_n n (-∞,+∞) H F (f n).

Lemma Taylor_Series_imp_cont : Continuous (-∞,+∞) F.

Lemma Taylor_Series_lemma_cont : forall r n,
 Continuous (-∞,+∞) ((r[^]n[/] _[//]nring_fac_ap_zero _ n) {**}f n).

Definition Taylor_bnd := forall r H, conv_fun_seq'_IR (-∞,+∞)
  (fun n => (r[^]n[/] _[//]nring_fac_ap_zero _ n) {**}f n) _ H (Continuous_const _ 0).

Hypothesis bndf : Taylor_bnd.



The Taylor series always converges on the realline.

Lemma Taylor_Series_conv_IR :
 fun_series_convergent_IR (-∞,+∞) (Taylor_Series _ _ _ a Ha _ derF).


We now prove that, under our assumptions, it actually converges to the original function. For generality and also usability, however, we will separately assume convergence.

Hypothesis Hf : fun_series_convergent_IR (-∞,+∞) (Taylor_Series _ _ _ a Ha _ derF).

Lemma Taylor_Series_conv_to_fun : ≈ (-∞,+∞) F (∑' Hf).



End Convergence_in_IR.

Section Other_Results.

The condition for the previous lemma is not very easy to prove. We give some helpful lemmas.

Lemma Taylor_bnd_trans : forall f g : N -> PartIR,
 (forall n x Hx Hx', AbsIR (f n x Hx) [<=] AbsIR (g n x Hx')) ->
 (forall n, Continuous (-∞,+∞) (g n)) -> Taylor_bnd g -> Taylor_bnd f.


Lemma bnd_imp_Taylor_bnd : forall (f : N -> PartIR) (F : PartIR),
 (forall n x Hx Hx', AbsIR (f n x Hx) [<=] AbsIR (F x Hx')) -> Continuous (-∞,+∞) F ->
 (forall n, ⊆ (fun _ => CTrue) (Dom (f n))) -> Taylor_bnd f.

Finally, a uniqueness criterium: two functions F and G are equal, provided that their derivatives coincide at a given point and their Taylor series converge to themselves.

Variables F G : PartIR.

Variable a : IR.

Variables f g : N -> PartIR.
Hypothesis derF : forall n, Derivative_n n (-∞,+∞) CI F (f n).
Hypothesis derG : forall n, Derivative_n n (-∞,+∞) CI G (g n).

Hypothesis bndf : Taylor_bnd f.
Hypothesis bndg : Taylor_bnd g.

Hypothesis Heq : forall n HaF HaG, f n a HaF [=] g n a HaG.


Lemma Taylor_unique_crit : ≈ (-∞,+∞) F (∑' Hf) -> ≈ (-∞,+∞) F G.
