Thread: [SOLVED] about taylor and laurent series relation

Hello, I know a Taylor series for any function must be the same that laurent series of this function with a real variable, but do they have the same form always? I mean:

We know:



and:



If we know taylor series of f(x) and we want calculate laurent of f(z), can we just replace x for z?


Thank you.

If a Laurent series has no negative powers of in it, it is the same as the Taylor series.
If a Laurent series has negative powers of in it, then a Taylor series does not exist (with radius of convergence > 0).

There is any way to find if all negative powers are zero without resolving all integrals?


Thank you!

Well, if the function has a finite value at and is analytic there, there are certainly no negative powers appearing in the expansion of the function in a neighbourhood of .
