From (), one can see that and hence is dependent on the choice of an arbitrary term . However, the product is invariant under choice of any of the arbitrary terms , which we will now demonstrate by induction for the non-degenerate case. The extension to the degenerate case is straightforward.
We need to prove that the Taylor series coefficients of the product are invariant, i.e. that is invariant for every n. This is clearly true for n=0. Assume that this is true for all n less than some whole number N. Then we find
by use of (). The first term on the right hand side is invariant by hypothesis. Now consider the second term, and suppose that is invariant for all n less than N, as it is clearly true for n=0. Then
The first term of the right hand side is invariant by hypothesis, so we only need consider the second term
Clearly, this term is invariant by hypothesis, so
is invariant.
