: Investigate the behavior of Σan if
: an = 1/(1+z^n),for complex values of z
[Rudin, Principles of Mathematical Analysis-exercise. 6, Chap. 3.]
Let a_n = 1/(1+ z^n), and we consider three cases as follows.
(i) |z| < 1 (ii) |z| > 1, and (iii) |z| = 1.
In case (i), lim a_n = 1. So, we know that Σ a_n diverges by Theorem 3.23.
(Sometimes, we call Theorem 3.23, n-test.)
In case (ii), write z = r e^(iθ), where r > 1. Then
| 1 + z^n | = | 1 + r^n * e^(inθ) | ≧ r^n.
Hence Σ a_n converges (converges absolutely) by the comparison test on the
convergene of Σ 1/r^n, where r > 1.
In case (iii), It is clear that as z = 1, Σ a_n diverges and as z = -1,
it does not make sense. As a result, it remains to consider z ≠1 and ≠-1
as follows. Write z = cosθ + i sinθ and thus, we have
1 + z^n = (1+cos nθ)+i(sin nθ).
It follows that
1 1
|a_n|^2 = |-------------------------|^2 = ----------------------
(1+cos nθ)+i(sin nθ) 2 + 2 cos nθ
≧ 1/4.
It means that {a_n} cannot converge to zero. That is, Σ a_n diverges in this
case.
NOTE. 在 case (iii) 裡,當 z = i, z^2 = -1. 這時候分母也會等於 0. 假使
我們接受 |1/0| = ∞, 那麼
|a_n|^2 ≧ 1/4
still makes sense.

Good taste, bad taste are fine, but you can't have no taste.
