Formal power series

Rings of formal power series in one or several variables and Hahn series, with formal exponentials, derivatives, coefficient operators and Lagrange inversion.

TheoremTaylor's formula for formal power series#✓fully proved

Let \(R\) be a commutative \(\mathbb{Q}\)-algebra and \(f\) a formal power series over \(R\), with \(j\)-th formal derivative \(f^{(j)}\), and write \([X^i]h\) for the coefficient of \(X^i\) in a power series \(h\). In the ring of formal power series over \(R\) in two variables \(t\) and \(u\),

\[\sum_{i, j \ge 0} \frac{1}{j!}\, [X^i] f^{(j)}\; t^i u^j = f(t + u),\]

where \(f(t + u)\) is the substitution of \(t + u\) into \(f\). In other words, the exponential generating series \(\sum_j f^{(j)}(t)\, u^j / j!\) of the successive derivatives of \(f\) is \(f(t + u)\).
