boundedness of terms of power series
Theorem. If the set
of the of a power series
at the point is bounded (http://planetmath.org/BoundedInterval), then the power series converges, absolutely (http://planetmath.org/AbsoluteConvergence), for any value which satisfies
Proof. By the assumption, there exists a positive number such that
Thus one gets for the coefficients of the series the estimation
If now , one has
and since the geometric series is convergent, then also the real series converges.
