Statement

Suppose f is an infinitely differentiable function on R such that, for any fixed a,bR, there is a constant C (possibly dependent on a,b) such that for all nonnegative integers n, we have:

|f(n)(x)|Cx[a,b]

Then, f is a globally analytic function: the Taylor series of f about any point in R converges to f. In particular, the Taylor series of f about 0 converges to f.
