Throughout the problem, $\mathbb { R } ^ { 2 }$ is equipped with the canonical Euclidean inner product denoted $\langle$,$\rangle$ and the associated norm $\| \|$. Let $f$ and $g$ be in $\mathcal { C } ^ { 1 } \left( \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 } , \mathbb { R } \right)$ satisfying the Cauchy-Riemann equations: $$\frac { \partial f } { \partial x } = \frac { \partial g } { \partial y } \quad \text { and } \quad \frac { \partial f } { \partial y } = - \frac { \partial g } { \partial x }$$ We define $\widetilde { f } ( r , \theta ) = f ( r \cos \theta , r \sin \theta )$ on $\mathbb { R } _ { + } ^ { * } \times \mathbb { R }$. From the previous questions, there exist $a_n \in \mathbb{C}$ such that $c_{n,f}(r) = a_n r^{|n|}$ for all $r \in \mathbb{R}_+^*$.
By stating precisely the theorem used, establish $$\forall ( r , \theta ) \in \mathbb { R } _ { + } ^ { * } \times \mathbb { R } , \quad \widetilde { f } ( r , \theta ) = \lim _ { p \rightarrow \infty } \sum _ { n = - p } ^ { p } a _ { n } r ^ { | n | } e ^ { i n \theta }$$

Show that $\Gamma^{s}(x_{0})$ is a vector subspace of $\mathcal{C}$, then that, for all real numbers $s_{1}$ and $s_{2}$ satisfying $0 \leq s_{1} \leq s_{2} < 1$, we have $\Gamma^{s_{2}}(x_{0}) \subset \Gamma^{s_{1}}(x_{0})$. Finally, determine $\Gamma^{0}(x_{0})$.
Recall: Let $x_{0} \in [0,1]$. For all $s \in [0,1[$, $\Gamma^{s}(x_{0})$ is the subset of $\mathcal{C}$ formed by functions $f$ which satisfy: $$\sup_{x \in [0,1] \backslash \{x_{0}\}} \frac{|f(x) - f(x_{0})|}{|x - x_{0}|^{s}} < +\infty .$$

We consider the space $\mathscr { C } _ { \text {per} } \left( \mathbb { R } ^ { d } \right)$ of functions $f : \mathbb { R } ^ { d } \rightarrow \mathbb { C }$ continuous and 1-periodic in each of their variables, equipped with the uniform norm $\| f \| _ { \infty } = \sup _ { \theta \in \mathbb { R } ^ { d } } | f ( \theta ) |$. A trigonometric polynomial (in $d$ variables) is any function of the form $\theta \mapsto \sum _ { k \in K } c _ { k } e ^ { 2 i \pi k \cdot \theta }$ where $K$ is a finite subset of $\mathbb { Z } ^ { d }$. We work in dimension $d = 2$. The subspace $\mathscr { C } _ { \text {sep} } \left( \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 } \right)$ of $\mathscr { C } _ { \text {per} } \left( \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 } \right)$ consists of functions of the form $\theta = \left( \theta _ { 1 } , \theta _ { 2 } \right) \mapsto \sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { n } f _ { i } \left( \theta _ { 1 } \right) g _ { i } \left( \theta _ { 2 } \right)$, where $n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$ and $f _ { 1 } , \ldots , f _ { n } , g _ { 1 } , \ldots , g _ { n } \in \mathscr { C } _ { \text {per} } ( \mathbb { R } )$.
