continuity of power series

Let $(a_n)_n in mathbbN$ be an infinite positive sequence of integers.
Assume that $f(lambda) = sumlimits_n=0^infty a_n lambda^n$ is finite for any $lambda in [0, lambda_0)$. Does this necessarily imply that $f(lambda)$ is also continuous in $(0, lambda_0)$, or might something strange happen?

Yes, it is continuous. It is in fact analytic.

(For positive $a_n$ this is easy, because you very easily establish have uniform bounds, so you can apply Weierstrass M-test.)

Thank you. Is there a theorem I can cite without a proof being required?

Two results :(1). From the details of the proof of the Cauchy-Hadamard Radius Formula ( sometimes called the Hadamard Radius Formula) we can easily show that the sequence $(sum_n=0^ja_n x^n)_jin Bbb N$ converges uniformly on any closed subset of $D=z$....(2). A uniform limit of a sequence of continuous real or complex functions on $D$ is continuous.

If your series converges for $lambda=r$, then it converges uniformly for all $lambdain(-r,r)$. This is because for such $lambda$
$$
sum_n>ma_n|lambda|^nleqsum_n>ma_nr^nxrightarrow[mtoinfty]0.
$$
So $f(lambda)$ is a uniform limit of polynomials. And a uniform limit of continuous functions is continuous.
Your function is in fact a lot more than continuous. It is analytic.
