Complex Analysis- Singularities

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the analysis of the function f, which is analytic in the complex plane except for simple poles at z = -1 and z = 3. The Laurent series of f converges in the annular region defined by 1 < |z - 2| < 3. Participants are tasked with finding the coefficients a_n of the Laurent series, utilizing the function g(z) = (z + 1)(z - 3)f(z), which is free of poles and singularities, indicating that its Laurent series is a Taylor series.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex analysis, specifically analytic functions
  • Familiarity with Laurent series and their convergence criteria
  • Knowledge of Taylor series and their properties

Homework Statement


Let f be analytic at the complex plane excapt for z= -1 and z=3 which are simple poles of f.

Let \Sigma_{-\infty}^{-1} a_{n}(z-2)^{n} be the Laurent series of f.
In part A I've found that the series converges at 1<|z-2|<3 .
B is: Find the coeefficients a_{n} of the given Laurent series.
Hint: Look at g(z) = (z+1)(z-3)f(z)


Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


We know that g(z) has no poles or singularities whatsoever. So Laurent series of g is actually a Taylor series... But how can we find from this data the given coeefficients?

Thanks in advance

Are you sure that's a correct Laurent series for f(z)? Doesn't it have an essential singularity at z=2?
 
I'm sure indeed...I had no typos in this one... But the an's can be also zero or something...
