Calculating Laurent expansions using geometric series in regions defined by inequalities












1












$begingroup$


So I am a bit confused about Laurent series and their relation to geometric series. I will give an example but my doubts are more general. The function:
$$f(z) = {frac {{{rm e}^{z}}}{
left( z-1 right) ^{2}}}
$$

has a singularity at $z = 1$. I know that the function converges to a Laurent series only in the region $ left| z-1 right| > 0$ which is an "infinite circle" centered at 1 (right?). So relating to the geometric series:
$ left( z-1 right) ^{-2}$ which is obtained by differentiating $ left( 1-z right) ^{-1}$. However, this geometric series is only valid for $$ left| z right| <1$$ inside the circle with radius $ left| z right|=1$ which is not the same as $ left| z-1 right| > 0$.



My question is: how can I relate a geometric series with a correct Laurent expansion and find the correct geometric series in "the correct" regions defined by a certain inequality?

    Couple things: The region $|z-1| > 0$ is the region $zne 1$, it's the punctured plane. Second thing, what is an infinite circle? Also yes, you can find Taylor series for the function by centering the Taylor series around 0 as you're suggesting, and yes it's only valid in a circle with radius the distance to the nearest singularity. Also you simultaneously said the geometric series is and is not valid inside the circle $|z|=1$. The Laurent series is nicer because it's globally valid.

    $frac1{1-z}=1+z+z^2+cdots$ for $|z|<1$. Then replacing $z$ with $z-1$: $frac1{1-(z-1)}=1+(z-1)+(z-1)^2+cdots$, valid for $|z-1|<1$.

Use the fact thatbegin{align}frac{e^z}{(z-1)^2}&=efrac{e^{z-1}}{(z-1)^2}\&=efrac{displaystylesum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{(z-1)^n}{n!}}{(z-1)^2}.end{align}
