When does an infinite series have a zero?

45 Views Asked by At

Given an infinite series:

$$f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_{n} x^n$$

And assume analytic continuation.

Is there any algorithm that will tell us if there is a solution to $f(x)=0$ where $x$ is real, just knowing some procedure for generating the coefficients $a_n$? Or perhaps this is an undecidable problem?
