Taylor translation of power series #
For a power series f over a commutative topological ring and a point a, the Taylor translate
taylor a f is the series whose n-th coefficient is the value (Δⁿ f)(a) of the
n-th Hasse derivative of f at a. On polynomials it is Polynomial.taylor a, the substitution
X ↦ X + a.
Writing f = ∑ cₖ Xᵏ, both (taylor a f)(b) and f(b + a) are sums of the double series
∑ₙ,ₘ (n + m).choose n • cₙ₊ₘ aᵐ bⁿ: grouping its terms by n gives the translate at b, and
grouping them by n + m gives f at b + a by the binomial theorem. So the Taylor identity
(taylor a f)(b) = f(b + a) holds as soon as that double series is summable and its rows converge
to (Δⁿ f)(a). This is shared by the Taylor theories of entire series
(PowerSeries.IsEntire.evalAt_taylor) and of restricted series
(PowerSeries.IsRestricted.evalAt_taylor), which supply the convergence.

The Taylor translate of a power series f at a: the series ∑ₙ (Δⁿ f)(a) Xⁿ, whose
coefficients are the values at a of the Hasse derivatives of f. For an entire series over a
complete normed ring it is the series f(X + a) (PowerSeries.IsEntire.evalAt_taylor); in
general the values (Δⁿ f)(a) are the junk value of PowerSeries.evalAt when they diverge.
Instances For
The coefficients of the Taylor translate are the values of the Hasse derivatives.
The constant term of the Taylor translate at a is the value at a.
The Taylor translate at a has positive order exactly when a is a zero: the order of the
translate is the multiplicity of the zero.
On polynomials, Taylor translation is Polynomial.taylor.
Translation by 0 is the identity.
The translate of the zero series is zero.
The translate of the constant series 1 is 1.
The Taylor identity from the double series. If the double series
∑ₙ,ₘ coeff m (Δⁿ f) aᵐ bⁿ is summable and each of its rows ∑ₘ coeff m (Δⁿ f) aᵐ converges to
(Δⁿ f)(a), then the Taylor translate at a evaluated at b is f(b + a). Grouping the terms
by n gives the translate at b, and grouping them by n + m gives f at b + a, by the
binomial theorem.
Taylor translation is additive when all Hasse derivatives have absolutely summable terms at the translation point.
Taylor translation is multiplicative when all Hasse derivatives have absolutely summable terms at the translation point.
