Residue Calc: (z^2 e^z)/(1+e^2z)

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the residues of the function (z^2 e^z)/(1+e^2z), particularly focusing on the poles where the function ceases to be analytic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the nature of the poles defined by the equation e^2z = -1 and discuss the implications of having multiple solutions for z. There is a focus on determining the residues at specific points within a given range.

Discussion Status

Participants are actively engaging with the problem, with some providing guidance on steps to take, while others are verifying the correctness of their interpretations regarding the poles and residues. There is a clear direction towards calculating residues at identified points.

Contextual Notes

There is an acknowledgment of the infinite number of poles due to the periodic nature of the exponential function, but the discussion is currently limited to the range [0, 2pi].

what is the residues in below function?

(z^2 e^z)/(1+e^2z )

Kindly show us your working first!
And if I were you, I'd follow these steps -:

1. Check the function where it ceases to be analytic, a point which is called a pole. In this case it is e^2z = -1 (Why?).
2. Expand the denominator (probably twice) to check the principal part of the Laurent expansion as to what order the pole(e^2z = -1) might be.
3. Find the residue at the pole using known methods.

ok
thanks
but e^2z=-1 has many reply that they are:
z=i(2n+1)pi/2
I must calculate all the residues(in this case is infinite!)?
 
What is the exact question?
 
It sounds I got it
for
e^2z = -1
we have:
z=i(2n+1)pi/2 ;n=0,1,2,3,......
between[0,2pi] there are just two points:
z=i(pi/2) & i(3pi/2)
and we have to find the residues at these points.

please let me know if it is true or not.
 
Okay yes, in [0, 2pi] those are the only points you have. Go ahead and calculate the residues at those points, for a simple pole e^2z = -1.
