Apr 9, 2021 at 4:17 comment added math110 @IraGessel,Now How to prove coefficients of $1-\left(-\dfrac{x}{\ln{(1-x)}}\right)^{\frac{1}{K}}$ are postive ?can you solve it? Thanks
Apr 9, 2021 at 4:16 comment added math110 @IraGessel,oh, I known,. Thank you,

Apr 9, 2021 at 4:15 comment added Ira Gessel $a_n$ is positive only for $n>0$; $a_0=-1$. Here is a suggestion: in general, differentiating and then setting $x=0$ is not an efficient way of computing Taylor series coefficients. It is usually more work to compute the derivatives than to compute the Taylor series in some other way. For example, it's very easy to compute the Taylor series for $e^{x^2}$ by substituting $x^2$ for $x$ in $e^x = 1+x + x^2/2!+\cdots$, but it's more complicated to compute the derivatives of $e^{x^2}$.

Apr 9, 2021 at 2:47 comment added math110 why is $1-\left(-\dfrac{x}{\ln{(1-x)}}\right)^{\frac{1}{K}}$, not $\left(-\dfrac{x}{\ln{(1-x)}}\right)^{\frac{1}{K}}$?Where did that $1?$ come from, Thanks

Apr 7, 2021 at 18:03 comment added Ira Gessel The problem is equivalent to showing that the Taylor series coefficients of $$1-\left(-\frac{x}{\ln(1-x)}\right)^{1/K} =\frac{x}{2K} +\frac{5K-3}{24K^2}x^2+\cdots $$ are positive when $K$ is a positive integer.

Apr 7, 2021 at 0:38 comment added Gerry Myerson Indeed, for $0<x<1$, we have $x/\log(1-x)<0$, so $(x/\log(1-x))^{1/K}$ isn't real for, say, $K=2$.
Apr 7, 2021 at 0:32 comment added Iosif Pinelis For $f(x):=\left(\dfrac{x}{\ln (1-x)}\right)^{1/K}$, we have $f'(0+)=-\frac{1}{2K} (-1)^{1/K}$. How do you want it to be $>0$? Also, what is $N^+$?
