Question about a function defined by a series

31 Views Asked by At

Given $$\varphi(x)= \sum_{n=0}^\infty e^{\frac{n}{\ln(x)}} $$

which converges by the geometric series test for $0<\Re(x)<1.$

Prove that $1-\frac{1}{\varphi(x)}=e^{\frac{1}{\ln(x)}}$

Not really sure how to show this. Any hints?

The series is geometric : $$ \varphi\left(x\right)=\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}{\mathrm{e}^{\frac{n}{\ln{x}}}}=\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}{\left(\mathrm{e}^{\frac{1}{\ln{x}}}\right)^{n}}=\frac{1}{1-\mathrm{e}^{\frac{1}{\ln{x}}}} $$
