Homework Statement


Hello guys, I need to find the orders of each pole as well as the residue of the function sin(1/z)/cos(z).

Homework Equations


I imagine that this is a simple pole so I will either find the Laurent series and get the coefficient of (z-z_0)^{-1} or use the simpler limiting case.

The Attempt at a Solution


So far, I think that there is clearly a pole at n\pi-\frac{\pi}{2} due to the z in the cosine term, although I'm not sure whether it's considered a pole when the value of z causes the term sin(1/z) to go to zero. Any help here and further direction on calculating the residue from there would be awesome. Thank you very much.

Alright. I have not heard about it before.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
