SUMMARY

The function f(z) = [1 - cosh(z)] / z^3 exhibits a pole at z = 0, with an order of 3. The residue at this pole can be determined by analyzing the Taylor series expansion of cosh(z) and its implications on the limit of f(z) as z approaches 0. The limit of f(z) approaches 0, indicating that the singular point is removable rather than a true pole. Therefore, the residue at this point is zero.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex analysis concepts, specifically poles and residues.
  • Familiarity with Taylor series expansions, particularly for hyperbolic and trigonometric functions.
  • Knowledge of limits and singular points in mathematical functions.
  • Proficiency in manipulating algebraic expressions involving complex variables.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of poles and residues in complex analysis.
  • Learn about Taylor series expansions for hyperbolic functions like cosh(z).
  • Explore the concept of removable singularities and their implications in complex functions.
  • Investigate the behavior of limits involving complex functions near singular points.
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those focusing on complex analysis, as well as anyone involved in theoretical physics or engineering applications requiring an understanding of singularities and residues.

1. Show that f(z) = [1 - cosh(z)] / z3 has a pole as its singular point. Determine its order m & find the residue B.


2.

lim |f(z)| tends to \infty as z tends to singular point

bm + bm+1(z-z0)+...+ b1(z-z0)m-1 + \sum^{\infty}_{n = 0}an(z-z0)n= (z-z0) m f(z)


3. f(z) = [1 - cosh(z)] / z3 = 1/z3 - cos(iz)/z3

that's all i could do. I don't know how to do the limit of the cos part. does it approach infinity ? I think NOt right ?

please help asap.

thx in advnace

Expand out cosh(z) = cos(iz) using its Taylor series.

Doing this i get:

f(z) = 1 - (1 + z2/2 + z4 / 4! + z6 / 6! + ...)

= - \sum^{\infty}_{n = 1}z2n/(2n)! tends to 0 as z tends to 0

but this is not the limit we have for a pole. but its for a removable singular point. isn't it ?
