[parent] identity theorem of power series (Theorem)

If the radii of convergence of the power series $ \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n(z-z_0)^n$ and $ \sum_{n=0}^\infty b_n(z-z_0)^n$ are positive and the sums of the series are equal in infinitely many points which have $ z_0$ as an accumulation point, then the both series are identical, i.e. $ a_n = b_n$ for each $ n = 0,\,1,\,2,\,\ldots$
