SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the residue formula for the expression \(\frac{e^{ik}}{\prod_j (k-is_j)}\), where \(s_j\) are constants. The key conclusion is that the residue can be calculated using the formula \(\sum_n \frac{e^{s_n}}{\prod_{j \neq n} (i s_n-is_j)}\). This formula provides a straightforward method for evaluating residues in complex analysis involving exponential functions and products of linear factors.

Is there a simple formula for the residue of

[tex]\frac{e^{ik}}{\prod_j (k-is_j)}[/tex]

where [tex]s_j[/tex] are constants ?

I assume your variable of integration is k - correct accordingly if it is not. The residue will be just the sum over n of
[tex]\frac{e^{s_n}}{\prod_{j \neq n} (i s_n-is_j)}[/tex]
 
Thank you, that's exactly what wanted.
