Finding Coefficients for Simple Partial Fraction Formula | Mathematica Help

[divB]

Hi,

I found the following formula:

<br /> \prod_{m=1}^{N_d} \frac{1}{(1-e^{\alpha_{(m)}}z^{-1})^{n_{(m)}}} = \sum_{m=1}^{N_d} \sum_{n=1}^{n_{(m)}} \frac{c_{m,n} }{(1-e^{\alpha_{(m)}}z^{-1})^{n_{(m)}}}<br />

What I want is finding the coefficients c_{m,n}. This looks like a simple partial fraction method.

In fact I am able to find the coefficients in the following form:

\dots = \sum_{m=1}^{N_d} \sum_{n=1}^{n_{(m)}} \frac{c_{m,n} }{(z-e^{\alpha_{(m)}})^{n_{(m)}}}

using the standard partial fraction method. This is also what I get using Apart in Mathematica.

But I need the coefficients for the form described above: Only the denominator should contain z^{-1} and nothing more.

Can anybody tell me how to get this form? Is it possible at all? (it should be because this formula is used in a paper...)

Is there any Mathematica command which produces the desired form?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
divB

use a change of variables for the exponential and the 1/z, you would be back in the standard form again. Find the partial fractional form and replace the variables.

Oh, I am so stupid ... sure, this works!

Thank you very much!
