The problem
Find Res(f,z1)
With: [itex]f(z)=\frac{z}{(z^2+2aiz-1)^2}[/itex]
The attempt at a solution
The singularities are at [itex]A=i(-a+\sqrt{a^2-1})[/itex] and at [itex]B=i(-a-\sqrt{a^2-1})[/itex]
With the normal equation (take limit z->A of [itex]\frac{d}{dz}((z-A)^2 f(z))[/itex] for finding the residue of a pole of order 2, my attempt fails.
I know the way the correct answer is constructed, but I do not understand it.
The solution is namely: take [itex]\frac{d}{dz}[/itex] of [itex]\frac{z}{(z-B)^2}[/itex]
This is: [itex]\frac{-(z+B)}{(z-B)^3}[/itex]
Then plug in z=A, which gives: [itex]\frac{-(A+B)}{(A-B)^3}[/itex]
Now plugging in the values of A and B give the correct answer.
Any help is appreciated.
