Cauchy-Hadamard formula proof












1












$begingroup$


So I'm looking at the proof of the Cauchy-Hadamard formula in my textbook and I understand the first part, but the second one I'm confused about. Here goes:
$$DeclareMathOperator*uplim{overline{lim}} text{Let } sum_{n=0}^{infty}a_n(x-x_0) text{ be a power series, and let } rho=uplim_{n to infty}{sqrt[n]{|a_n|}} text{. Then}$$
(1) if $rho in(0, infty)$ $R = frac{1}{rho}$



(2) if $rho = +infty$ $R=0$



(3) if $rho=0$ $R = +infty $



The proofs for (2) and (3) are beyond the scope of our course, so we only did proof for (1). This is the first part:



Let $tin mathbb{R}$, and suppose $|t-x_0|>frac{1}{rho}$. Then $frac{1}{|t-x_o|}<rho$, therefore we can say $(existsepsilon>0)$ such that $frac{1}{|t-x_0|} < rho-epsilon Rightarrow (rho-epsilon)|t-x_0|>1$.



Since $rho=uplim_{n to infty}{sqrt[n]{|a_n|}}$ then $sqrt[n]{|a_n|}>rho-epsilon$ for all $ngeq n_o$, $n_0 in mathbb{N}$. Therefore:



$$|a_n(t-x_0)^n| = bigg|sqrt[n]{|a_n|}(t-x_0)bigg|^n>((rho-epsilon)|t-x_0|)^n > 1$$



So we have that $|a_n(t-x_0)^n| > 1$ meaning that it cannot converge to zero, meaning that the series diverges. So we conclude that:



$$|t-x_0|>frac{1}{rho} Rightarrow text{the series diverges}$$



Taking the counterposition of this gives us
$$text{the series converges} Rightarrow |t-x_0|leqfrac{1}{rho}Rightarrow Rleqfrac{1}{rho}$$



And all this is clear so far. Now we have to show that also $Rgeqfrac{1}{rho}$ which will get us to the final conclusion that $R = frac{1}{rho}$



Let's suppose otherwise $R < frac{1}{rho}$



Now here's the problematic part (I'm quoting now):



then we know $(exists tin mathbb{R})$ such that $R<|t-x_0|<frac{1}{rho}$. I have no idea how this was concluded.
After this we have something similar to the first part:



$$frac{1}{|t-x_0|}>rho Rightarrow (exists epsilon>0) quad frac{1}{|t-x_0|} >rho + epsilon Rightarrow (rho+epsilon)|t-x_0|<1$$



Because of how we defined $rho$ we got:



$$(exists n_0 in mathbb{N})(forall n geq n_0)(sqrt[n]{|a_n|}<rho +epsilon)$$
Then:



$$sqrt[n]{|a_n|(t-x_0)^n} = sqrt[n]{|a_n|}|t-x_0| < (rho + epsilon)|t-x_0| = q$$ where $|q|<1$.



Now we have that $a_n(t-x_0)^n < q^n$ where $|q|<1$ meaning $q$ converges, meaning $a_n(t-x_0)^n$ converges (by the comparison criteria). Since $R$ is defined as
$$R = sup{bigg{|t-x_0| text{ the sequence converges for }tbigg}}$$



And since our sequence indeed converges for $t$, we have (the above mentioned set we'll call $E$).
$$|t-x_0| in E Rightarrow |t-x_0| leq sup{E} = R $$



which gives us a contradiction with one of the beginning statements (exactly the one that I don't understand how it got there). So could anyone clarify? Thanks.

          Let $R, rho, x_0$ be any reals such that $R< frac{1}{rho}$. Pick any $a in mathbb{R}$ such that $R<a<frac{1}{rho}$ and set $|t-x_0| = a$ (for example $t=a+x_0$). Then there exists a $t>0$ such that $R < |t-x_0| < frac{1}{rho}$.
