Order of poles on a function












0












$begingroup$


How can I determine what the order of the pole on the following function is:



$$ f(z)= frac{e^{bz}}{zsinh(az)}$$



From the Laurent series, I found that the residue would be b/a or -b/a, however, I am confused whether this is a simple pole or a pole of second order.

    How can you know the residue without the order of the pole?

    Is it not possible? I thought the Laurent series would give me the residue at the z^-1 term.

    $begingroup$
    Do you mean the pole at $z=0?$ Anyway, the numerator is never $0$ so the order of the pole is just the order of the zero of the denominator.

    @saulspatz does that mean that it is of order two? Since you would have a zero relating to sinh and one to z?

The numerator is nonzero, prove the denominator has a root of degree $2$ by your favorite method. Alternatively,



$$f(z)= frac{e^{bz}}{zsinh(az)} = frac{2e^{bz}}{z}left(e^z-e^{-z}right)^{-1} = frac{e^{bz}}{z}sum_{k = -infty}^infty frac{(-1)^kz}{(pi k)^2+z^2}$$



The sum on the right will only yield a negative power of $z$ when $k=0,$ so the order is $-2.$
