Laurent Series
If a function
f
fails to be analytic at a point
z
0
then we cannot find a Taylor series converging
to
f
in any neigbourhood of
z
0
, but it is often possible to find a series representation for
f
involving both positive and negative powers of
z
-
z
0
.
Example:
Consider the function
f
(
z
)=
e
z
z
2
.
Theorem:
(Laurent’s Theorem) Suppose that a function
f
is analytic throughout the an-
nulus
D
=
{
z
:
R
1
<
|
z
-
z
0
|
<R
2
}
. Let
γ
be any simple closed contour around
z
0
, oriented
anti-clockwise, lying entirely in
D
. For each
z
D
we have
f
(
z
)=

for

,

,

···
We call (
) the
Laurent series for
f
about
z
0
.
In practice, we hardly ever use the for-
mulas for the coefficients
a
n
and
b
n
– we manipulate known series instead (just as we do to
find Taylor series).
If
f

by the Cauchy-Goursat Theorem and (
) reduces to a Taylor series about
z
0
. So a Taylor
series is a Laurent series (but not vice versa).
Example:
Find the Laurent series for
f
(
z
)=
e

z
about 0.
Example:
Let
f
be the function
f
(
z
)=

(

z

=

+

.
a) Find the largest open annuli or discs centred at
i
in which
f
is analytic;
b) find the Laurent series for
f
about
i
which is valid when
z
= 2;
