Transform complex series into power series and find its radius of convergence

67 Views Asked by At

Determine the radius of convergence and find the coefficients of the power series which is equivalent to $$F(z) = \sum^\infty_{n=1} \frac{z^n}{(1-z^n)^2}$$ for $z\in \mathbb{C}$.

That is we would like to find such complex coefficients $a_1,a_2,...$ that $F(z)=\sum^\infty_{n=1} a_n z^n$. Having those, we would find the radius from the Cauchy-Hadamard formula.

The function $F$ is definitely analytic on $\mathbb C\setminus\mathbb T$, where $\mathbb T$ denotes the unit circle. Since $\lim_{z\to 1}F(z)$ does not exist, $F$ cannot be extended. So, $F(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_kz^k$ for $|z|<1$. To obtain the $a_k$'s, note that $\frac 1{1-z^n} = \sum_{k=0}^\infty z^{kn}$.
