Calculating the residue of a complex function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the residue of a complex function with singularities at z = ±iλ. It is established that these singularities are not first order, making traditional methods of residue calculation, such as differentiating the denominator, ineffective. The participants suggest using the Laurent series to determine the residues and reference the Residuensatz article on Wikipedia for further guidance. Additionally, they recommend utilizing Chrome's translation functionality for better understanding of the material.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement
Calculate the residue of the following function at its singularities: ##f(z)=\frac{e^{i\omega z}\lambda z}{(z^2+\lambda^2)^2}##
Relevant Equations
-
The singularities occur at ##z = \pm i\lambda##. As ##\frac{d}{dz}(z^2+\lambda^2)^2|_{z=\pm i\lambda}=0##, these singularities aren't first order and the residues cannot be calculated with differentiating the denominator and evaluating it at the singularities. What is the general method to determine the Laurent series?

Wikipedia has your example, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residuensatz, but I'm too lazy to translate and adapt it to your exact situation. I suggest to use the translation functionality in chrome. It worked quite well here:
