  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    That is, the Taylor series diverges at x if the distance between x and b is larger than the radius of convergence. The Taylor series can be used to calculate the value of an entire function at every point, if the value of the function, and of all of its derivatives, are known at a single point. Uses of the Taylor series for analytic functions ...

  3. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    The Taylor series of f converges uniformly to the zero function T f (x) = 0, which is analytic with all coefficients equal to zero. The function f is unequal to this Taylor series, and hence non-analytic. For any order k ∈ N and radius r > 0 there exists M k,r > 0 satisfying the remainder bound above.

    This class includes Hermite–Obreschkoff methods and Fehlberg methods, as well as methods like the Parker–Sochacki method [17] or Bychkov–Scherbakov method, which compute the coefficients of the Taylor series of the solution y recursively. methods for second order ODEs. We said that all higher-order ODEs can be transformed to first-order ...

  5. Radius of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_convergence

    Two cases arise: The first case is theoretical: when you know all the coefficients then you take certain limits and find the precise radius of convergence.; The second case is practical: when you construct a power series solution of a difficult problem you typically will only know a finite number of terms in a power series, anywhere from a couple of terms to a hundred terms.

  6. Arctangent series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctangent_series

    Each term of this modified series is a rational function with its poles at = in the complex plane, the same place where the arctangent function has its poles. By contrast, a polynomial such as the Taylor series for arctangent forces all of its poles to infinity.

  7. Universal Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Taylor_series

    Thus to -approximate () = using a polynomial with lowest degree 3, we do so for () with < / by truncating its Taylor expansion. Now iterate this construction by plugging in the lowest-degree-3 approximation into the Taylor expansion of g ( x ) {\displaystyle g(x)} , obtaining an approximation of lowest degree 9, 27, 81...

  8. Linear approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_approximation

    Given a twice continuously differentiable function of one real variable, Taylor's theorem for the case = states that = + ′ () + where is the remainder term. The linear approximation is obtained by dropping the remainder: () + ′ ().

  9. Nonelementary integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonelementary_Integral

    Nonelementary antiderivatives can often be evaluated using Taylor series. Even if a function has no elementary antiderivative, its Taylor series can always be integrated term-by-term like a polynomial, giving the antiderivative function as a Taylor series with the same radius of convergence. However, even if the integrand has a convergent ...
