- Source: Cauchy product
In mathematics, more specifically in mathematical analysis, the Cauchy product is the discrete convolution of two infinite series. It is named after the French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy.
Definitions
The Cauchy product may apply to infinite series or power series. When people apply it to finite sequences or finite series, that can be seen merely as a particular case of a product of series with a finite number of non-zero coefficients (see discrete convolution).
Convergence issues are discussed in the next section.

Convergence and Mertens' theorem
Let (an)n≥0 and (bn)n≥0 be real or complex sequences. It was proved by Franz Mertens that, if the series
∑
n
=
0
∞
a
n
{\textstyle \sum _{n=0}^{\infty }a_{n}}
converges to A and
∑
n
=
0
∞
b
n
{\textstyle \sum _{n=0}^{\infty }b_{n}}
converges to B, and at least one of them converges absolutely, then their Cauchy product converges to AB. The theorem is still valid in a Banach algebra (see first line of the following proof).
It is not sufficient for both series to be convergent; if both sequences are conditionally convergent, the Cauchy product does not have to converge towards the product of the two series, as the following example shows:
= Example
=Consider the two alternating series with
a
n

n
=
(
−
1
)
n
n
+
1
,
{\displaystyle a_{n}=b_{n}={\frac {(-1)^{n}}{\sqrt {n+1}}}\,,}
which are only conditionally convergent (the divergence of the series of the absolute values follows from the direct comparison test and the divergence of the harmonic series). The terms of their Cauchy product are given by

{\displaystyle c_{n}=\sum _{k=0}^{n}{\frac {(-1)^{k}}{\sqrt {k+1}}}\cdot {\frac {(-1)^{n-k}}{\sqrt {n-k+1}}}=(-1)^{n}\sum _{k=0}^{n}{\frac {1}{\sqrt {(k+1)(n-k+1)}}}}
for every integer n ≥ 0. Since for every k ∈ {0, 1, ..., n} we have the inequalities k + 1 ≤ n + 1 and n – k + 1 ≤ n + 1, it follows for the square root in the denominator that √(k + 1)(n − k + 1) ≤ n +1, hence, because there are n + 1 summands,

n

=

{\displaystyle |c_{n}|\geq \sum _{k=0}^{n}{\frac {1}{n+1}}=1}
for every integer n ≥ 0. Therefore, cn does not converge to zero as n → ∞, hence the series of the (cn)n≥0 diverges by the term test.
= Proof of Mertens' theorem
=For simplicity, we will prove it for complex numbers. However, the proof we are about to give is formally identical for an arbitrary Banach algebra (not even commutativity or associativity is required).
Assume without loss of generality that the series
∑
n
=
0
∞
a
n
{\textstyle \sum _{n=0}^{\infty }a_{n}}
converges absolutely.
Define the partial sums
A

=
∑

n

B

=
∑

and

i
{\displaystyle A_{n}=\sum _{i=0}^{n}a_{i},\quad B_{n}=\sum _{i=0}^{n}b_{i}\quad {\text{and}}\quad C_{n}=\sum _{i=0}^{n}c_{i}}
with
c

=
∑
k
=

i
a
k
b
i
−
k
.
{\displaystyle c_{i}=\sum _{k=0}^{i}a_{k}b_{i-k}\,.}
Then

=
∑
i
=
0
n
a
n
−
i
B
i
{\displaystyle C_{n}=\sum _{i=0}^{n}a_{n-i}B_{i}}
by rearrangement, hence
Fix ε > 0. Since
∑
k
∈
N
|
a
k
|
<
∞
{\textstyle \sum _{k\in \mathbb {N} }|a_{k}|<\infty }
by absolute convergence, and since Bn converges to B as n → ∞, there exists an integer N such that, for all integers n ≥ N,
(this is the only place where the absolute convergence is used). Since the series of the (an)n≥0 converges, the individual an must converge to 0 by the term test. Hence there exists an integer M such that, for all integers n ≥ M,
Also, since An converges to A as n → ∞, there exists an integer L such that, for all integers n ≥ L,
Then, for all integers n ≥ max{L, M + N}, use the representation (1) for Cn, split the sum in two parts, use the triangle inequality for the absolute value, and finally use the three estimates (2), (3) and (4) to show that

By the definition of convergence of a series, Cn → AB as required.
Cesàro's theorem
In cases where the two sequences are convergent but not absolutely convergent, the Cauchy product is still Cesàro summable. Specifically:
If
(
a
n
)
n
≥
0
{\textstyle (a_{n})_{n\geq 0}}
,
(
b
n
)
n
≥
0
{\textstyle (b_{n})_{n\geq 0}}
are real sequences with
∑
a
n
→
A
{\textstyle \sum a_{n}\to A}
and
∑
b
n
→
B
{\textstyle \sum b_{n}\to B}
then

→

B
.
{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{N}}\left(\sum _{n=1}^{N}\sum _{i=1}^{n}\sum _{k=0}^{i}a_{k}b_{i-k}\right)\to AB.}
This can be generalised to the case where the two sequences are not convergent but just Cesàro summable:
= Theorem
=For
r
>
−
1
{\textstyle r>-1}
and
s
>
−
1
{\textstyle s>-1}
, suppose the sequence
(
a
n
)
n
≥
0
{\textstyle (a_{n})_{n\geq 0}}
is
(
C
,
r
)
{\textstyle (C,\;r)}
summable with sum A and
(
b
n
)
n
≥
0
{\textstyle (b_{n})_{n\geq 0}}
is
(
C
,
s
)
{\textstyle (C,\;s)}
summable with sum B. Then their Cauchy product is
(
C
,
r
+
s
+
1
)
{\textstyle (C,\;r+s+1)}
summable with sum AB.
Examples
For some
x
,
y
∈
R
{\textstyle x,y\in \mathbb {R} }
, let
a
n
=
x
n
/
n
!
{\textstyle a_{n}=x^{n}/n!}
and
b
n
=
y
n
/
n

{\textstyle b_{n}=y^{n}/n!}
. Then

{\displaystyle c_{n}=\sum _{i=0}^{n}{\frac {x^{i}}{i!}}{\frac {y^{n-i}}{(n-i)!}}={\frac {1}{n!}}\sum _{i=0}^{n}{\binom {n}{i}}x^{i}y^{n-i}={\frac {(x+y)^{n}}{n!}}}
by definition and the binomial formula. Since, formally,
exp
(
x
)
=
∑
a
n
{\textstyle \exp(x)=\sum a_{n}}
and
exp
(
y
)
=
∑
b
n
{\textstyle \exp(y)=\sum b_{n}}
, we have shown that
exp
(
x
+
y
)
=
∑
c
n
{\textstyle \exp(x+y)=\sum c_{n}}
. Since the limit of the Cauchy product of two absolutely convergent series is equal to the product of the limits of those series, we have proven the formula
exp
(
x
+
y
)
=
exp
(
x
)
exp
(
y
)
{\textstyle \exp(x+y)=\exp(x)\exp(y)}
for all
x
,
y
∈
R
{\textstyle x,y\in \mathbb {R} }
.
As a second example, let
a
n
=
b
n
=
1
{\textstyle a_{n}=b_{n}=1}
for all
n
∈
N
{\textstyle n\in \mathbb {N} }
. Then
c
n
=
n
+
1
{\textstyle c_{n}=n+1}
for all
n
∈
N
{\displaystyle n\in \mathbb {N} }
so the Cauchy product
∑
c
n
=
(
1
,
1
+
2
,
1
+
2
+
3
,
1
+
2
+
3
+
4
,
…
)
{\displaystyle \sum c_{n}=(1,1+2,1+2+3,1+2+3+4,\dots )}
does not converge.
Generalizations
All of the foregoing applies to sequences in
C
{\textstyle \mathbb {C} }
(complex numbers). The Cauchy product can be defined for series in the
R
n
{\textstyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}}
spaces (Euclidean spaces) where multiplication is the inner product. In this case, we have the result that if two series converge absolutely then their Cauchy product converges absolutely to the inner product of the limits.

the statement can be proven by induction over

{\displaystyle n+1}

Relation to convolution of functions
A finite sequence can be viewed as an infinite sequence with only finitely many nonzero terms, or in other words as a function
f
:
N
→
C
{\displaystyle f:\mathbb {N} \to \mathbb {C} }
with finite support. For any complex-valued functions f, g on
N
{\displaystyle \mathbb {N} }
with finite support, one can take their convolution:
(
f
∗
g
)
(
n
)
=
∑
i
+
j
=
n
f
(
i
)
g
(
j
)
.
{\displaystyle (f*g)(n)=\sum _{i+j=n}f(i)g(j).}
Then
∑
(
f
∗
g
)
(
n
)
{\textstyle \sum (f*g)(n)}
is the same thing as the Cauchy product of
∑
f
(
n
)
{\textstyle \sum f(n)}
and
∑
g
(
n
)
{\textstyle \sum g(n)}
.
More generally, given a monoid S, one can form the semigroup algebra
C
[
S
]
{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} [S]}
of S, with the multiplication given by convolution. If one takes, for example,
S
=
N
d
{\displaystyle S=\mathbb {N} ^{d}}
, then the multiplication on
C
[
S
]
{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} [S]}
is a generalization of the Cauchy product to higher dimension.
