Smooth non-analytic function
Counterexample
Let for and for . Then is smooth on , and for all . So its Taylor series at is the zero series. But for , so is not analytic at .
Remarks
For , each derivative has the form for a polynomial . It tends to as , because decays faster than any power of .
Such functions give smooth bump functions and smooth partitions of unity.
Mathlib defines this function as expNegInvGlue.
Explanations
L1 human
This function is so flat at that all its derivatives vanish there. So its Taylor series sees only the zero function, but the function is not zero.
