Can we just use the linear term of exponential sums to sum divergent series
Suppose you want to compute the sum $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n $
You could consider the expression $f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} e^{a_n x}$ and try to compute the coefficient of an $x^1$ term in the ...

Distribution of zeroes of lacunary functions
In a recent Math Stack Exchange question I asked about the function $$f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{2^n},$$ and was informed of its status is a canonical example of a lacunary series with natural boundary ...

Is anything known about the power series $\sum x^p$ for $p$ prime?
I'm interested in information about the power series
$$\sum_{\text{$p$ prime}} x^p$$
and the related power series
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n x^{p(n)}$$
where $p(n)$ is the nth prime.
Immediately, the ...

Computing residues at $\infty$
As an initial note, let me show by example what I mean by the terminology 'residue at $\infty$' I use in the title. I assume there is some standard terminology for this stuff, so I'd appreciate it if ...

How to correctly renormalize this function at the pole $x=1$? Evaluating: $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} e^{e^n}$
So I was considering the divergent everywhere but 0 power series
$$ f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} e^{e^n} x^n $$
Now one can do the following "questionable" manipulation
$$ f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\...

Are there any necessary conditions of lacunary functions known?
On the internet, most theorems about lacunary function only give the sufficient conditions. For example, Ostrowski-Hadamard Gap Theorem concerns the asymptotic length of null Taylor coefficients, ...

Uniformization of Julia sets and lacunary series
If the complement of a Julia set of quadratic polynomial z^2+c is locally connected and simply connected, it is uniformized by the complement of the unit disk. Consider the uniformization map and its ...

Coefficients of lacunary series on quasiconformally transformed unit disk
Say I have a lacunary $q$ series $s(q)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n}q^{n}$ , and I have a quasiconformal transformation $\xi$ which preserves the boundary of the unit disk in $\mathbb{C}$ such that if $|q|...

Lacunary sequence
Is there a standard definition for a lacunary sequence?
Suppose $0 < a_1 < a_2 < \cdots.$
I've read two papers using the term recently. One requires
$$
\liminf_n\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}>1
$$
...

Mandelbrot's lacunarity realized by fractal or stochastic field?
It is my understanding that Mandelbrot came up with the notion of lacunarity to classify the homogeneity of 2D functions that only take two distinct values see here.
I wonder, does there exist a ...
