Taylor series of $1/(e^x-a)$ about 0?












0












$begingroup$


I know what the Taylor series for $frac{1}{e^x-1}$ about 0 is, and it's a function of Bernoulli numbers.



However, $frac{1}{e^x-a}$ seems to be much more convoluted. Does anybody know the general term of this series?



If it exists, finding it on Google is challenging, due to the mathematical notation.

    If you have trouble Googling it, consider using a calculator. I used Symbolab and found Maclaurin series of $dfrac{1}{e^x-a}$ as:$$dfrac{1}{1-a}-dfrac{1}{1-a^2}x+dfrac{a+1}{2(1-a)^3}x^2-+cdots$$

    @ParasKhosla What is general term? I can easily produce the series with Mathematica, but I need to know the general term, not just the first few terms.

So, maybe the Binomial Theorem is needed.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem.
Actually, we can obtain that
begin{align}
(e^x-a)^{-1} &= -a^{-1}sum_{k=0}^{infty} left(frac{e^x}{a}right)^k\
&=-frac{1}{a} sum_{k=0}^{infty} frac{1}{a^k} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{(kx)^n}{n!}\
&=-sum_{n=0}^{infty} left(frac{1}{n!} sum_{k=0}^{infty} frac{k^n}{a^{k+1}} right)x^n.

Starting from @Aaron Jia's answer
$$frac{1}{e^x-a}=-sum_{n=0}^{infty} left(frac{1}{n!} sum_{k=0}^{infty} frac{k^n}{a^{k+1}} right)x^n$$ let
$$c_n=sum_{k=0}^{infty} frac{k^n}{a^{k+1}}=frac{1}{a},Phi left(frac{1}{a},-n,0right) $$ where appears the Hurwitz-Lerch transcendent function.



So,



$$frac{1}{e^x-a}=sum_{n=0}^{infty} -frac{Phi left(frac{1}{a},-n,0right)}{a, n!} x^n$$ and the coefficients are then
$$left(
begin{array}{cc}
0 & frac{1}{1-a} \
1 & -frac{1}{(a-1)^2} \
2 & frac{-a-1}{2 (a-1)^3} \
3 & frac{-a^2-4 a-1}{6 (a-1)^4} \
4 & frac{-a^3-11 a^2-11 a-1}{24 (a-1)^5} \
5 & frac{-a^4-26 a^3-66 a^2-26 a-1}{120 (a-1)^6}
end{array}
right)$$
to be compared to the expansion
$$frac{1}{1-a}-frac{x}{(a-1)^2}+frac{(-a-1) x^2}{2 (a-1)^3}+frac{left(-a^2-4
a-1right) x^3}{6 (a-1)^4}+frac{left(-a^3-11 a^2-11 a-1right) x^4}{24

@JRS. I do not agree : it is not $0$ so it does not need any little correction. Cheers.

You didn't understand what I said, I checked it on Mathematica, your $c_0$ gives the coefficient of $x$, instead of the independent term, your $c_1$ gives the coefficient of $x^2$, and so on. Should be $1/a*phi(1/a,-n-1,0)$. But, whatever, if you wanna stay ignorant, be my guest.
