Q: Infinite Series -: $\psi(s)=\psi_1(0)s+\psi_2(0)\frac{s^2}{2!}+\psi_3(0)\frac{s^3}{3!}+.+.+ $.

Rejo_SlashWe have a given series using derivatives and matrices(Analogue to Taylor's series) $\psi(s)_{3 \times 3}=\psi_1(0)s+\psi_2(0)\frac{s^2}{2!}+\psi_3(0)\frac{s^3}{3!}+..+.. \tag 1$. (Note the notional convention used here $\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \psi(s) }{\mathrm{d} s^2}=\psi_2(s),\frac{\mathrm{d}^p ...

 
It seems strange to call $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \psi_n(s) \frac{s^n}{n!}$ a generalization of the Taylor series. Suppose we take the scalar case with $\psi(s)=e^s$. Then $\psi_n=e^s$ for all $n$, so $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \psi_n(s) \frac{s^n}{n!}=e^s\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{s^n}{n!}=e^s\cdot (e^s-1)\neq \psi(s)=e^s.$$
 
@Semiclassical But here dimension of $\psi(s)$ is $3 \times 3$. I just extended the form in this paper clck here page (9) for $r(s)$
 
That's not quite the same as what they had, though. 1) They assume $\psi(0)=0$, 2) They're not doing $\psi_n$ as the $n$th derivative of $\psi(s)$, but rather the evaluation of each such derivative of $s=0$. So your coefficients would need to be $\psi_n(0)$ not $\psi_n(s)$. As an example, consider $\psi(s)=e^s-1$. Then $\psi_n=1$ for all $n\geq 1$, so $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \psi_n \frac{s^n}{n!}=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{s^n}{n!}=e^s-1$$ which does match $\psi(s)$.
 
Let me change that in question. Thanks for the suggestion
@Semiclassical Made that changes. .Please check
 
That clarifies things, though you should still mention somewhere that $\psi(0)=0$.

I will add that now
 
If you have further questions, let's talk here rather than comments
 
sure
thanks
is it ok if I say $\psi(0) \ne 0$
Are you there?
 
had stepped away, sorry
 
yes got it.. Then I have to make changes in taylor series.. it is ok.. let me fix for $\psi(0)$
 
you can make \psi(0) nonzero, sure, just make sure to put it into the summation as well
 
8:33 PM
Let me think about it..shall I ask later.. because I need to invest some thinking in that
 
see yaa...I will message u soon byee
 
good luck
 
Hi.. Just checked.. it is fine
\psi(0) can be zero
wil ladd in question now itself
thanks
