On the representation of analytic functions by infinite series
Given a set of functions {p k {z)}, necessary and sufficient conditions are known under which the basic series ∑ (k=0) ∞ II k f (0)p k (z) will represent all functions f ( z ) in certain classes. The various cases are included in a general theory given in part II. Questions of uniqueness are discussed, and an attempt is made to initiate a theory of representation by series of the form ∑ (k=0) ∞ α k p k (z) which are not necessarily basic. Topological methods are used, and part I is devoted largely to preliminaries. In part III is discussed the relationship between given sets and various associated sets such as the inverse and product sets.
