Showing a couple of series converge uniformly on different domains.

19 Views Asked by At

Going through some of the assignment sheets before my Complex Analysis exam, and going through the lecture notes I am still unsure how to answer this question.

Conclude the following series converge uniformly on the following domains:

$$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \sqrt{k} e^{-kz} \quad \text{on}\quad \{z \in \mathbb{C} : r< \Re(z) \} \quad \text{for any} \quad r>0$$

$$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{2^k}{z^k+z^{-k}} \quad \text{on} \quad \{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| \leq r \} \quad \text{for any} \quad0<r<\frac{1}{2}$$

I assume I have to find an upper bound of the modulus of each terms and show that the sum of these bounds converges, but I am unsure on how to construct these bounds, any guidance would be appreciated thanks!

#1 is $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \sqrt{k} s^k$ where $s = e^{-z}$, and $r < \Re(z) \iff s < e^{-r}$. This is a power series with radius of convergence $1$ (using e.g. Ratio test), and $e^{-r} < 1$ if $r > 0$, so it does converge uniformly.

For #2 you can use $$ \left|\frac{2^k}{z^k + z^{-k}}\right| \le \frac{2^k}{|z|^{-k} - |z|^k} \le 2^{k+1} |z|^k \ \text{if}\ |z| < 1/2\ \text{and}\ k \ge 1$$
