Taylor Expansion of homogeneous functions

General Mathematics 2024-04-24 v4

Abstract

We derive the Taylor polynomial of a function, which is mm-times continuously differentiable and positive homogeneous of order mm. The Taylor polynomial in aa for f(b)f(b) of order mm in general is a polynomial of order mm in bab-a. If the given function is positive homogeneous of order mm, the Taylor polynomial is a polynomial in bb rather than bab-a, and the order of all terms is mm. The result can be applied to powers of homogeneous functions of order 11 as well.
