In summary: In other words, the coefficient of (z-i)^k in the Laurent expansion is the same as the coefficient of (z-1)^(k+1) in the Taylor series for e^{iz}/(z+1).

Homework Statement



((e^{iz})/((1+z²)))
Find a Laurent expansion valid for 0<|z-i|<1and use it to show that the derivative will leave you with the residue a₋₁.
So we have an annulus with its center at one of the singularities. Since the other singularity at z=-i is outside of the annulus it is not a problem, because the function is analytic. .
The problem is i have never found a laurent expansion for a function this complicated! with double poles!


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



((e^{iz})/((1+z²)²))=((e^{iz})/((1+z²)(1+z²)))=((e^{iz})/((i+z)(z-i)(i+z)(z-i)))=((e^{iz})/((i+z)²(z-i)²))
let w=z-i
z+i=w+2i
z=w+i
((e^{iz})/((i+z)²(z-i)²))=((e^{i(w+i)})/((w+2i)²(w)²))=((e^{iw})/(e(w+2i)²(w)²))=((e^{iw})/e)((1/(w²)))((1/(4[i-(-w)]²))

=((e^{iz})/4)*∑{n=0 to ∞}(-w)²ⁿ⁻²

I can't figure this question out! so if anyone can help

Write the function as
[tex]f(z)= \frac{e^{iz}}{z+i}\frac{1}{z- i}[/itex]
As you say, [itex]e^{iz}/(z+ 1)[/itex] is analytic at z= i and so can be written as a Taylor series there. Multiplying that by 1/(z-i) only decreases each power of (z- i) in the series by 1.
 

FAQ: Laurent series(a really hard one)

What is a Laurent series?

A Laurent series is a type of mathematical series that represents a complex-valued function in terms of powers of a complex variable. It is an extension of Taylor series, which only includes non-negative powers of the variable, to include both positive and negative powers.

How is a Laurent series different from a Taylor series?

A Taylor series only includes non-negative powers of the variable, while a Laurent series includes both positive and negative powers. Additionally, Taylor series are centered around a point, while Laurent series can be centered around a point or an annulus (a region between two concentric circles).

What is the purpose of using a Laurent series?

Laurent series are used to represent complex functions, especially those with singularities (points where the function becomes undefined or infinitely large). They can also be used to calculate the behavior of a function near those singularities.

How is a Laurent series calculated?

A Laurent series is calculated using a formula that involves the function, the variable, and the point or annulus around which the series is centered. The coefficients of the series can be found by taking derivatives of the function or by using complex integration techniques.

What are some real-world applications of Laurent series?

Laurent series have various applications in physics, engineering, and other sciences. They can be used to model phenomena such as electromagnetic fields, fluid flow, and quantum mechanics. They are also used in numerical analysis and in solving differential equations.
