The n-th partial sum of the series, usually denoted Sn, is the sum of the first n + 1 terms, that is, Sn := nj=0 cj . If the sequence of partial sums {Sn}∞n=1 has a limit S, the series is said to converge, or sum to S, and we write S = ∞j=0 cj . A series that does not converge is said to diverge One way to demonstrate that a series converges to S is to show that the reminder after summing the first n + 1 terms, S − nj=0 cj , goes to zero as n → ∞

Ch.5: Series Representations for Analytic Functions 5.3 Power Series Relationship Between Power Series and Taylor Series Theorem If ∞j=0 aj (z − z0)j converges to f(z) in some neighborhood of z0 (that is, the radius of its circle of convergence is nonzero), then aj = f(j)(z0) j! (j = 0, 1, 2,...) Consequently, ∞j=0 aj (z − z0)j is the Taylor expansion of f(z) around z0 If a power series converges inside some circle, it is the Taylor series of its (analytic) limit function and can be integrated and differentiated term by term inside this circle; moreover, this limit function must fail to be analytic somewhere on the circle of convergence Ch.5: Series Representations for Analytic Functions 5.5 Laurent Series Introduction In this section, we wish to investigate the possibility of a series representation of a function f near a singularity After all, if the occurrence of a singularity is merely due to a vanishing denominator, might it not be possible to express the function as something like A/(z − z0)p + g(z), where g is analytic and has a Taylor series around z0? To be sure, not all singularities are of this type (recall Logz at z0 = 0) If the function is analytic in an annulus surrounding one or more of its singularities (note that Logz does not have this property, due to its branch cut), we can display its ”singular part” according to the following theorem Ch.5: Series Representations for Analytic Functions 5.5 Laurent Series Definition of Laurent Series Theorem Let f be analytic in the annulus r < |z − z0| < R. Then f can be expressed there as the sum of two series f(z) = ∞ j=0 aj (z − z0)j + ∞ j=1 a−j (z − z0)−j both series converging in the annulus, and converging uniformly in any closed subannulus r<ρ1 ≤ |z − z0| ≤ ρ2 < R. The coefficients aj are given by aj = 1 2πi C f(ξ) (ξ − z0)j+1 dξ (j = 0, ±1, ±2,...) where C is any positively oriented simple closed contour lying in the annulus and containing z0 in its interior Ch.5: Series Representations for Analytic Functions 5.5 Laurent Series Definition of Laurent Series (Cont’d) Such an expansion, containing negative as well as positive powers of (z − z0), is called the Laurent series for f in this annulus. It is usually abbreviated ∞ j=−∞ aj (z − z0)j Note that if f is analytic throughout the disk |z − z0| < R, the coefficients with negative subscripts are zero by Cauchy’s theorem, and the others reproduce the Taylor series for f

Then f has a zero of order m at z0 if and only if f can be written as f(z)=(z − z0)mg(z) where g is analytic at z0 and g(z0) = 0 Corollary If f ia an analytic function such that f(z0)=0, then either f is identically zero in a neighborhood of z0 or there is a punctured disk about z0 in which f has no zeros Ch.5: Series Representations for Analytic Functions 5.6 Zeros and Singularities Zeros of Complex-Valued Functions (Cont’d) Notice that if f is nonconstant, analytic, and zero at z0, the order of the zero must be a whole number The function z1/2 could be said to have a zero of order 1/2 at z = 0, but of course it is not analytic there Ch.5: Series Representations for Analytic Functions 5.6 Zeros and Singularities Singularities of Complex-Valued Functions We know that f has a Laurent expansion around any isolated singularity z0; f(z) = ∞ j=−∞ aj (z − z0)j (1) for, say 0 < |z − z0| < R. (The r is zero for an isolated singularity) We can classify z0 into one of the following three categories in the next slide Ch.5: Series Representations for Analytic Functions 5.6 Zeros and Singularities Singularities of Complex-Valued Functions (Cont’d) Definition Let f have an isolated singularity at z0, and let (1) be the Laurent expansion of f in 0 < |z − z0| < R. Then (i) If aj = 0 for all j < 0, we say that z0 is a removable singularity of f (ii) If a−m = 0 for some positive integer m but aj = 0 for all j < −m, we say that z0 is a pole of order m for f (iii) If a−m = 0 for an infinite number of negative values of j, we say that z0 is an essential singularity of f
