a contour integral and residue

154 Views Asked by At

Evaluate : $\oint_C (1+z+z^2)[e^{2/z}+e^{2/(z-2)}+e^{2/(z-3)}]dz$ over the circle $C:|z|=\frac{1}{4}$.

It is clear that terms that involve $e^{2/(z-2)}+e^{2/(z-3)}$ need not to be considered here as they have singularities outside the given region. But I have problem to calculate the residue (at the pole $0$) within the region of the other remaining terms here. Then we should apply Cauchy's residue theorem to evaluate that integral. So how to calculate the residue at the pole $0$?

HINT:

$$e^{2/z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{2^n\,z^{-n}}{n!}=1+\frac2z+\frac2{z^2}+\frac{4}{3z^3}+\cdots $$

Now, multiply $e^{2/z}$ by $1$, $z$, and $z^2$ and determine the residues from each term separately.
