[Math] Taylor expansion for $\arcsin^2{x}$

taylor expansion

I stumbled upon this particular expansion that was included in this post.


$$ \displaystyle \arcsin^{2}(x) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2} \binom{2n}{n}} (2x)^{2n}$$


This caught my eye because I remember trying to derive a Taylor series for $\arcsin^{2}(x)$ a while ago without much success.

Can anyone prove this or point me to a material that would show a proof of this identity?

EDIT :

Feel free to use any mathematical apparatus at hand. I'm not interested in a proof fit for a certain level, nor am I looking for utmost elegance (though that would be lovely).

Best Answer

You can find a derivation for the Taylor series of $\frac{\arcsin(x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ in this nice answer. Since $$\frac{d\arcsin^2(x)}{dx} = \frac{2\arcsin(x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$$

the Taylor series for $\arcsin^2(x)$ follows by integration.
