sequences and series - Radius of convergence for fun complex sum!



I have dealt with radius of convergence for simple series, but this one is literally complex:



11zz2=n=0cnzn



How does one calculate the radius of convergence here? I can't just use the ratio test? Any ideas?




What methods would I use in general? I haven't much experience with complex analysis


Answer



As Micheal pointed, the radius of convergence is just the distance from the origin of the closest singularity, so ρ=512. You can achieve that also by noticing that:
cn=Fn+1=15[(1+52)n+1(152)n+1]
since (1) holds for n{0,1} and (1xx2)11xx2=1 implies:
n0,cn+2=cn+1+cn.
