what is the condition for the laurent series coefficient become zero?

165 Views Asked by At

the original text is from brown's textbook complex variables and applications, which said

we want to find out the series of "$ e^{1/z}$",and since we have already known the maclaurin series expansion $$e^z = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{z^n}{n!}$$ we replace $z$ by $1/z$ to get $$e^{1/z}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!z^n}$$ note that no positive powers of z appear hear, since the coefficient of the positive powers are zero.

why is that? And there is another text said that

observe that the integrand in expression (3) can be written $f(z)(z-z_0)^{n-1}$.Thus it is clear that when $f$ is actually analytic throughout the disk$|z-z_0|<R_2$, this integrand is too. Hence all of the coefficients $b_n$ are zero

and why is that? the $b_n$ coefficients of Laurent series are $$b_n = \frac{1}{2 \pi i}\int_C \frac{f(z)}{(z-z_0)^{-n+1}}dz$$ Thank you very much if anyone could give my any suggestions.

Ok, so I have figured it out both problem: Both are because $b_n$ is analytic throughout the entire region of $R_0$, so that its closed path integral is actually equal to zero. and for $a_n$, it has a singularity point at $z=0$, thus its integral is not $0$.
