Homework Statement


If \int_{0}^{1} f(x) g(x) \ dx converges, and assuming g(x) can be expanded in a Taylor series at x=0 that converges to g(x) for |x| < 1 (and perhaps for x= -1 as well), will it always be true that \int_{0}^{1} f(x) g(x) \ dx = \int_{0}^{1} f(x) \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n} x^{n} \ dx?

Will the fact that that the series doesn't converge for x=1 ever be an issue?

A couple of examples are \int_{0}^{1} \frac{f(x)}{1-x} \ dx = \int_{0}^{1} f(x) \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^{n} \ dx and \int_{0}^{1} f(x) \ln(1-x) \ dx = -\int_{0}^{1} f(x) \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{x^{n}}{n} \ dx.

The Attempt at a Solution


I want to say that it will always be true since it's just a single point. But I don't know if that's sufficient justification.

Is the sum really inside the integral? If yes: the integral (by definition) does not care about the function value at 1 at all.
If it is outside, it gets more interesting.
 
What kind of integration has been defined in this analysis course? What definition of a definite integral is used? Are you studying measure theory?
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
