Long time no see, PhysicsForums. Nevertheless, I have gotten myself into a statistical mechanics class where the prof is pretty brutal and while I can usually manage, this problem finally has me stumped. I'd like to be nudged in the right direction, not outright given the answer if possible. I...

Homework Statement Find Laurent series of $$z^2sin(\frac{1}{1-z})$$ at $$0<\lvert z-1 \rvert<\infty$$ Homework Equations sine series expansion. The Attempt at a Solution At first, it seems pretty elementary since you can set w=\frac{1}{z-1} and expand at infinity in z, which is 0 in w...

<Moderator's note: moved from a technical forum, so homework template missing> Hi. I have solved the others but I am really struggling on 22c. I need it to converge for |z|>2. This is the part I am really struggling with. I am trying to get both fractions into a geometric series with...

So, I was doing a question on Laurent series. Part of it asked me to work out the pole of the function: $$ exp \bigg[\frac{1}{z-1}\bigg]$$ The answer is ##1## - since, we can write out a Maclaurin expansion: (1) $$ exp\bigg[\frac{1}{z-1}\bigg] = 1+\frac{1}{z-1}+\frac{1}{2!}\frac{1}{(z-1)^{2}}...

Homework Statement Find the residue at z=-2 for $$g(z) = \frac{\psi(-z)}{(z+1)(z+2)^3}$$ Homework Equations $$\psi(-z)$$ represents the digamma function, $$\zeta(z)$$ represents the Riemann-Zeta-Function. The Attempt at a Solution I know that: $$\psi(z+1) = -\gamma - \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}...

Homework Statement the Laurent expansion of f(z)=e1/sin(z) at the isolated singularity z=π Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I tried rewriting 1/sin(z) into exponential form, but it seems have no help for the expansion. Would someone give me some inspirations?

Homework Statement Hey guys, So I need a bit of help with this question: Find three Laurent expansions around the origin, valid in three regions you should specify, for the function f(z)=\frac{30}{(1+z)(z-2)(3+z)} Homework Equations None that I know of...just binomial expansion...

Homework Statement I'm supposed to find the Laurent expansion of sin z/(z-1) at z=1. The Attempt at a Solution I thought about expanding the sine as a power series of (z-1) but I'm not so sure if that would be correct since the sine is a function of z and not z-1.

Homework Statement Find the Laurent expansion of f(z)= 1/(z^3 - 6z^2 + 9z) in the annulus |z-3|>3. Homework Equations none The Attempt at a Solution I've been spending way too long on this problem.. I can't seem to think of a way to manipulate f to use the geometric series, other...

Homework Statement I need to calculate the residue of a function at infinity. My teacher does this by expanding the function in a laurent expansion and deduces the value from that. That seems much harder than it needs to be. For example, in the notes he calculates the residue at infinity...

Homework Statement Find all Laurent expansion of the function f(z) = 1/(z(8(z^3)-1)) with centre z = 0. The Attempt at a Solution I tried to find all the singularities and came up with z = 0, z = 1/2, z = (1/2)exp((n*pi*i)/3) where n = +-2,+-4,+-6... . But according to the solution n can only...

Homework Statement Laurent expansion for 2/z+4 -1/z+2 I can derive the laurent expansion, but i would like a better understanding, so if anyone could tell me if my understanding is right or wrong, Homework Equations I know that the region we want is an annulus. But i am trying to...

How do I find the Laurent expansion of a function containing the principal branch cut of the nth root? Example: f(z)=-iz\cdot\sqrt[4]{1-\frac{1}{z^{4}}}

Say you have f(z)=\frac{1}{(z+i)^2(z-i)^2} a past exam question asked me to find and classify the residues of this. i had to factorise it into this form and then i just said there was a double pole at z=+i,z=-i now for 5 marks, this doesn't seem like very much work. is it possible to...

Homework Statement Find the Laurent expansion of f(z) = \sin(1-\frac{1}{z}) about z = 0, and state the annulus of convergence.Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I tried doing the regular expansion of sin(z), then applying the binomial expansion on the (1-1/z)^n terms, but I can't help...
