complex analysis - Find the range of convergence of the series,,sumin=0nftyfraczn1+z2n



The series I have is
n=0zn1+z2n



The same series with absolute values is:
n=0|z|n1+|z|2n




Using D'Alembert's principle,
lim



The convergence range is when |z| < 1. But the book answer is |z| \ne 1.


Answer



If |z|=r<1, and n\ge 1, then
\left|\frac{z^n}{1+z^{2n}}\right|\le \frac{|z|^n}{1-|z|^{2n}}=\frac{r^n}{1-r^{2n}} <\frac{r^n}{1-r}

and hence the series
\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{z^n}{1+z^{2n}}
converges, due to Comparison Test.



If |z|=1, and in particular z=i, then the series is not even definable.



Note. This is not a power series, and hence finding the radius of convergence is out of question. Clearly, there exist values of z, with |z|>1, for which the series converges absolutely, i.e., all z\in\mathbb R, with |z|>1. Meanwhile, the unit circle is a natural boundary of the series, since, for the points z=\exp(ik/2^\ell) are singularities (not isolated) of the series, for all k,\ell\in\mathbb N.
