Background A useful trick when trying to analyze a series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty f(n)$ is to expand $f(n)$ as some kind of series, swap the order of summation, and then evaluate the inner infinite sum. ...

Here Gottfried Helms introduces the following fascinating divergent series $$ T_2(x)=- \sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n n^{n^x}$$ The terms don't go to zero, so technically the series does not converge ...

My goal is to prove (or disprove) that sufficiently smooth and quickly decaying cutoff functions being tacked on to a Taylor series correctly extend the radius of convergence to the analytic ...
