this sounds interesting... where did you find this problem?? have you tried something with this? – Nov 29 '13 at 04:58

Use the facts that
- $\tau(n) \le 2\sqrt{n}$ for all $n$
- For infinitely many $n$ (say powers of $2$), $\tau(n) \ge \log_{2} n$
- $n^{1/n} \to 1$ and $(\log n)^{1/n} \to 1$

We know that number of divisor of $n^{50}$ is $\tau$($n^{50}$) which tends to $\infty$ as n tends to $\infty$ . Let R be the radius of convergence, then $\frac{1}{R}$ = $\lim_{n\to \infty}$ sup $(a_n)^{\frac{1}{n}}$ is $\infty$, so R is 0. So please tell me am I right or not?

(And please make this part of the question, if you are interested in the validity) – Aryabhata Nov 29 '13 at 09:15
