Theorem 7.12.  A function f(z) analytic in the punctured disk [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_324.gif] has a pole of order k at [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_325.gif] if and only if it can be expressed in the form
            
(7-37)            [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_326.gif],

where the function h(z) is analytic at the point [Graphics:Images/SingularityZeroPoleMod._gr_327.gif].  

Proof.

Proof of Theorem 7.12 is in the book.
