Changing a complex number series to a matrix series.












0












$begingroup$


I'd like to know if the following assertion is true.
Say you have a converging complex series: $sum_{n=0}^{infty}f_n(z)=g(z)$. Then, if you choose a complex matrix $Z$ such that $sum_{n=0}^{infty}f_n(Z)$ converges (simply), then it must converge to $g(Z)$. If there are any constants $alpha_k$ in $g(z)$ you replace them by $alpha_k I$, where $I$ is the identity matrix.



I'm asking this because I believe it is being implicitly used in a proof my professor has given for the fact that every non-singular matrix $C$ can be written as $e^B$, for some $B$. I don't find it intuitive at all.



Thanks in advance for any help.

    Given a function $g$ over the complex numbers, how exactly do you (or how did your professor) define $g(Z)$ for a matrix $Z$? There are different approaches here, and which one we start with matters.
