Domain of convergence of derived series (several complex variables)

66 Views Asked by At

I've found the following exercise on 'Holomorphic functions and integral representation in several complex variables' of R.M. Range: prove that a power series $\sum c_\nu z_\nu$ and the derived series $\sum c_\nu (D^\alpha z^\nu)$ have equal domain of convergence for every multi-index $\alpha \in \mathbb N^n$.

For $n=1$ it is a standard result and I'm concerned about the case $n\ge 2$.

Let us consider $n=2$ and $c_{\nu_1,\nu_2} = \nu_2!$ if $\nu_1=0$, $c_{\nu_1,\nu_2}=\frac{1}{\nu_2!}$ if $\nu_1=1$ and $c_{\nu_1,\nu_2}=0$ if $\nu_1 \ne 0$ and $\nu_1 \ne 1$. If $\alpha=(1,0)$, then

$$ \sum_{\nu_1,\nu_2\ge 0} c_{\nu_1,\nu_2} D^\alpha(z_1^{\nu_1} z_2^{\nu_2}) = \sum_{\nu_1>0,\nu_2\ge 0} c_{\nu_1,\nu_2} \nu_1 z_1^{\nu_1-1}z_2^{\nu_2} = \sum_{\nu_2\ge 0} \frac{1}{\nu_2!}z_2^{\nu^2}. $$

So the domain of convergence of $\sum c_\nu (D^\alpha z^\nu)$ is $\mathbb C^2$. On the other hand,

$$ \sum_{\nu_1,\nu_2 \ge 0} |c_\nu z^\nu| = \sum_{\nu_2\ge0} \nu_2! |z_2|^{\nu_2} + \sum_{\nu_2\ge 0} \frac{1}{\nu_2!} |z_1||z_2|^{\nu_2} = +\infty, \mbox{for} \, z_1,z_2\ne0. $$

Is there something wrong with the statement of the exercise or am I missing something?
