Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to clarify the nature of the singularity when two points coincide and how to apply the residue theorem in this context. There are questions about specific examples and the method for calculating double residues.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the application of the residue theorem and how to handle singularities. Some guidance has been offered regarding examples, but no consensus or resolution has been reached yet.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be a focus on a specific function involving singularities, and participants are exploring the implications of having multiple singularities at the same point. The exact nature of the function and its behavior near the singularity is under examination.

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?
