grandes-ecoles · France · centrale-maths2__pc Differentiating Transcendental Functions Limit involving transcendental functions
We consider a real $\alpha$ such that for every prime number $p$, $p^\alpha$ is a natural number. We apply relation $$\sum_{j=0}^{n} (-1)^{n-j} \binom{n}{j} f(x+j) = f^{(n)}(x + y_n) \quad \text{(IV.1)}$$ to the function $f_\alpha(x) = x^\alpha$ and to the integer $n = \lfloor \alpha \rfloor + 1$. The notations are those of question IV.A.4.
What is the limit of the expression $f_\alpha^{(n)}(x + y_n)$ when $x \in \mathbb{N}^*$ tends to $+\infty$?
