Abstract
This paper studies reciprocals of formal power series whose coefficients
are monotone and bounded by a geometrically decaying sequence. Explicit
and applicable, optimal decay rates are provided for the coefficients of the reciprocal
series in terms of the parameters of the geometric bound. The results imply a
best possible lower bound on the zeros of the series being considered.
