Are Schwartz class functions analytic?

202 Views Asked by At

We know that $f \in \mathcal{S({\mathbb{R^n}})}$ implies that $f$ has rapidly decreasing derivatives. But does this, by some comparison argument, give us that $f$ is analytic (i.e. equal to its power series expansion)? Why or why not?

A Schwartz class function $f$ can be equal to $0$ on a whole interval around $0$, thus its Taylor series at $0$ would be the zero function too, yet $f$ could be non-zero outside of said interval, thus that $f$ can't be analytic (at $0$ at least). You should be able to construct such a $f$ using an adequate bump function I'm sure.
