Title: complex analysis
Post by Bo on Apr 9th, 2004, 5:45am
Dear Respected Sir:

Could please have a look at this question:

If the complex function g(z) has an isolated singularity at z, then the
function exp(g(z))does not have a pole at z. (given hint: f has a pole of
order n at z, then f'/f has a simple pole with residue -n)

Thanks a lot.

Bo

Let f(z) = exp(g(z)), and apply the result in your hint.

The result you get is the contrapositive of the question.

Is my solution of this problem correct ?

Suppose that f has a pole at z0 of order n, then f'/f=g' has a simple pole at z0 of order -n, i.e. g'(z)=-n*(z-z0)-1 +a0+a1*(z-z0)+...
1) If g(z) has a removable singularity at z0, then g(z)=a0+a1*(z-z0)+..., hence g'(z)=a1+a2(z-z0)+...
So we have that g(z) doesn't have removable singularity at z0.
2) If g(z) has a essential singularity then g(z)= [sum]-[infty]+[infty]an(z-z0), and we have that g'(z)=...+a-1(z-z0)-2+a1+a2        (z - z0)+...
So g'(z) doesn't have an essential singularity.
3) If g(z) has a pole at z0, then g(z)=a-1(z-z0)-1+a0+a1(z-z 0)+... so that g'(z)=-a-1(z-z0)-2+a1+a2(z-z 0).

Hence all type of singularities contradicts to condition that g'(z) has a simple pole with residue -n. Hence f(z) doesn't have pole at z0.

Correct me please if I did something wrong.
Thank you.

That is it.

If g has a singularity, then g' cannot have a simple pole, and so exp(g(z)) cannot have any pole.
