Residue Theory and Its Applications

留数理论及其应用

1. Introduction 简介

Residue theory is a powerful tool in complex analysis for evaluating certain integrals and series.

留数理论是复分析中用于计算某些积分和级数的强大工具。

2. Key Concepts 核心概念

2.1 Residue 留数

Definition 定义: The residue of a meromorphic function at a singularity is the coefficient of in the Laurent series expansion of about . 函数 在奇点 处的留数是 处的洛朗级数展开中 项的系数。

Notation 记号: or

2.2 Types of Singularities 奇点类型

  1. Removable Singularity 可去奇点:

    • Residue is 0 留数为 0
  2. Simple Pole 简单极点:

    • exists and is non-zero
    • 存在且不为零
  3. Pole of Order m m 阶极点:

    • exists and is non-zero
    • 存在且不为零
  4. Essential Singularity 本性奇点:

    • Neither removable nor a pole
    • 既不是可去奇点也不是极点
