SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on applying the residue theorem to evaluate double residues at a singularity where ##z_1 = z_2##. The example function provided is g = (1/z_1) - (1/z_2) + (1/(z_1 - z_2)). Participants seek clarification on the methodology for calculating double residues in this context. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clear step-by-step approach to effectively utilize the residue theorem for singularities.

Homework Statement
Let ##g(z_1,z_2)## be a rational function where the only possible singularities are at ##z_1 = 0##, ##z_2 = 0##, and ##z_1 = z_2##. Verify the following: ##\text{Res}_{z_2 = 0}\text{Res}_{z_1 = z_2} g(z_1,z_2) =- \text{Res}_{z_1 = 0}\text{Res}_{z_2 = z_1} g(z_1,z_2)##
Relevant Equations
##\text{Res}_{z_2 = 0}\text{Res}_{z_1 = z_2} g(z_1,z_2) =- \text{Res}_{z_1 = 0}\text{Res}_{z_2 = z_1} g(z_1,z_2)##
I think we should be able to verify this by the residue theorem, but I'm having trouble applying it to the case when there is a singularity at ##z_1 = z_2##

To understand the problem exactly you mean for an example
g=\frac{1}{z_1}-\frac{1}{z_2}+\frac{1}{z_1-z_2}?

Yeah exactly
 
Thanks. Then I would like to know how shall I take double ResRes as you do in your formula. Could you show me how to do in this example?
