Lidstone SeriesIn mathematics, certain types of entire functions can be expressed as a certain polynomial expansion known as the Lidstone series. Let f(z) be an entire function of exponential type less than (N + 1)π, as defined below. Then f(z) can be expanded in terms of polynomials An as follows: - .
Here An(z) is a polynomial in z of degree n, Ck a constant, and f(n)(a) the derivative of f at a. A function is said to be of exponential type of less than ''t'' if the function -
is bounded above by t. Thus,the constant N used in the summation above is given by -
