We define a sequence $(a_n)_{n \geqslant 1}$ by setting $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^*, \quad a_n = \frac{(-n)^{n-1}}{n!}.$$ We define, when possible, $S(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} a_n x^n$, with radius of convergence $R$. It has been shown that $S(x) = W(x)$ for all $x \in ]-R,R[$. Does this result remain true on $[-R, R]$?
