Proof. By (15.56) and (15.57),
where
Consider
which verifies
.
Since
is analytic in the neighborhood of
, it is the same for
, so that the radius of convergence of
doesn’t vanish. Then
We want to prove that
, knowing that
are rational. To consider only finite sums, we use an asymptotic expansion in the neighborhood of
, up to degree
. If
, then
, and
Therefore
where
is a multivariate polynomial with coefficients in
.
The unicity of the asymptotic expansion shows that
, and
(Note that the unicity shows that
depends only of
, so we can write
.)
Therefore
and
where
and
. This gives the generalization of (15.58):
We prove by induction that for any
, there is a polynomial
of degree
such that
.
Since
, this is true for
with
.
Now we suppose that
for
. Then
where
.
Since
, and
for
, we obtain
, and the induction is done.
For each integer
, there exists a polynomial
of degree
such that
holds for all odd
