Formal power series (in one variable) - Order #
The PowerSeries.order
of a formal power series φ
is the multiplicity of the variable X
in φ
.
If the coefficients form an integral domain, then PowerSeries.order
is an
additive valuation (PowerSeries.order_mul
, PowerSeries.le_order_add
).
We prove that if the commutative ring R
of coefficients is an integral domain,
then the ring R⟦X⟧
of formal power series in one variable over R
is an integral domain.
The order of the 0
power series is infinite.
If the order of a formal power series is finite, then the coefficient indexed by the order is nonzero.
If the n
th coefficient of a formal power series is nonzero,
then the order of the power series is less than or equal to n
.
The n
th coefficient of a formal power series is 0
if n
is strictly
smaller than the order of the power series.
The 0
power series is the unique power series with infinite order.
The order of a formal power series is at least n
if
the i
th coefficient is 0
for all i < n
.
The order of a formal power series is at least n
if
the i
th coefficient is 0
for all i < n
.
The order of a formal power series is exactly n
if the n
th coefficient is nonzero,
and the i
th coefficient is 0
for all i < n
.
The order of a formal power series is exactly n
if the n
th coefficient is nonzero,
and the i
th coefficient is 0
for all i < n
.
The order of the sum of two formal power series is at least the minimum of their orders.
The order of the sum of two formal power series is the minimum of their orders if their orders differ.
The order of the product of two formal power series is at least the sum of their orders.
The order of the monomial a*X^n
is infinite if a = 0
and n
otherwise.
The order of the monomial a*X^n
is n
if a ≠ 0
.
If n
is strictly smaller than the order of ψ
, then the n
th coefficient of its product
with any other power series is 0
.
The order of the formal power series 1
is 0
.
The order of the formal power series X
is 1
.
The order of the formal power series X^n
is n
.
The order of the product of two formal power series over an integral domain is the sum of their orders.
