Answer:

Determine the order of any pole, and find the principal part at each pole

Explanation:

z cos(z ⁻¹ ) : The only singularity is at 0.

Using the power series expansion of cos(z), you get the Laurent series of cos(z −1 ) about 0. It is an essential singularty. So z cos(z ⁻¹ ) has an essential singularity at 0.

z ⁻² log(z + 1) : The only singularity in the plane with (−∞, −1] removed

is at 0. We have

log(z + 1) = z − z ²/ 2 + z ³/ 3

So

z ⁻² log (z + 1) = z ⁻¹ − 1 /2 + z/ 3

So at 0 there is a simple pole with principal part 1/z.

z ⁻¹ (cos(z) − 1) The only singularity is at 0. The power series expansion

of cos(z) − 1 about 0 is z ² /2 − z ⁴ /4, and so the singularity is removable.

cos(z)

sin(z)(e z−1) The singularities are at the zeroes of sin(z) and of e z − 1,

i.e., at πn and i2πn for integral n. These zeroes are all simple, so for

n ≠ 0 we get simple poles and at z = 0 we get a pole of order 2. For n ≠ 0, the residue of the simple pole at πn is

lim (z − πn) __cos(z)___ = _cos(πn)__

z→πn sin(z)(e z − 1) cos(πn)(e nπ − 1) = 1 e nπ − 1

For n ≠ 0, the residue of the simple pole at 2πni is

lim (z − 2πni) __cos(z)__ = __cos(2πni) = −i coth(2πn)

z→2πni sin(z)(e z − 1) sin(2πni)

For the pole of order 2 at z = 0 you can get the principal part by plugging

in power series for the various functions and doing enough of the division to get the z ⁻² and z⁻¹ terms. The principal part is z⁻² − 1/ 2 z ⁻¹
