for VII.14.1, I have a solution, but I don't see how it relates to the identity theorem.  I just took the zeroes of the function <math>f=z^m g(z)</math> where m is the multiplicity of the zero, and showed that the <math>\lim_{n \to \infty}g(\frac{1}{n})</math> either goes to zero or does not converge depending on the value of m.  Was there an easier way to do this?--[[User:Rgilhamw|Rgilhamw]] 22:02, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I have an idea for VIII.12.2.d.  Use the result of VIII.12.1., with g and h defined for all z in the disk of radius pi centered at one of the singularities.  Then, the residue is 1/cos(z), where z is a singularity.  I am starting to second-guess if this will work.

So, does the Laurent series of an analytic function f allow convergence outside of the RoC for the normal power series of f?--Rgilhamw 19:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


I don't think so. It seems like the laurent series is just another power series representation of the function with another ROC. Like the example in the book 1/(1-z) can be represented by a power series with negative powers of z but with ROC abs(z)>1 instead of less than 1. The Laurent series seems like it is used to represent an analytic function in the annulus $ r<|z-c|<R $ where c is the center of the annulus.< --Adrian Delancy


A group of us got stuck on problem VII.18.3, as well as VIII.12.2.d. Does anyone have any tips for these? --Andy Bohn
