How to prove that if i got a series $f in mathbbR[X,Y]$ that vanishes for all $X,Y in [-1,1]$ then all his coefficients must be $0$ ?



Thank you for your answers.

  • $XinmathbbR[X,Y]$ vanishes at all the points $(X,Y)=(0,y)$, for $yinmathbbR$, but it is not zero.

  • Not sure if this helps or not but I think you should only consider the case for uncountable zeros since if it is countable, we can construct the sequence $a_n=(-1)^n$ to obtain the divergence series $S_n$ with countably many zeros.

See Zeros of polynomial over an infinite field. This answers the question for polynomials. If you speak about power series, converging for all $(x,y)in [-1,1] times [-1,1]$, the same holds true by the identity theorem for analytic functions in several variables.

    If $f=0$ in $(0,1)^2,$ then all partial derivatives of $f$ at $(0,0)$ are $0.$ Couple that with the following: If $f(x,y) = sum_m=0^Msum_n=0^N a_mnx^my^n,$ then $D_x^mD_y^n f(0,0) = m!n!a_mn.$
