Expressing coefficients of a complex function using integrals
$begingroup$
Let $f(z)$ be the function defined by:
begin{equation}
f(z)=a_{-3}z^{-3}+a_{-2}z^{-2}+a_{-1}z^{-1}+a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3
end{equation}
How can we express the coefficients $a_i$ using integrals?
This is clearly a rational function $P(z)/Q(z)$ of degree 9. The formula for the residue $a_{-1}$ implies derivatives, not integrals. Maybe a quotient of integrals?

For any $n in mathbb{Z}$, $$a_n=int_0^{1}{f(e^{2ipi t})e^{-2inpi t}dt}.$$

Hi! How does that work? I can't find it in my book

Just replace $f$ by its expression. Pick, say, $n=1$ to understand what happens.

The formula you're looking for is sometimes called the generalized Cauchy integral formula. If $f(z) $ is analytic in a deleted neighbourhood of $z_0$ with Laurent series $sum_n a_n (z - z_0)^n$,
$$ a_n = frac{1}{2pi i} oint_Gamma frac{f(z); dz}{(z-z_0)^{n+1}}$$
where $Gamma$ is a simple positively oriented closed contour around $z_0$ such that $f$ is analytic on and inside $Gamma$ except possibly at $z_0$. It should be in any complex variables text.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
I thought that Cauchy's formula works if $z_0$ is neither a singularity nor a branch point. Cauchy formula works if $z_0$=0 but isn't 0 a singularity of f(z)?

The formula you're looking for is sometimes called the generalized Cauchy integral formula. If $f(z) $ is analytic in a deleted neighbourhood of $z_0$ with Laurent series $sum_n a_n (z - z_0)^n$,
$$ a_n = frac{1}{2pi i} oint_Gamma frac{f(z); dz}{(z-z_0)^{n+1}}$$
where $Gamma$ is a simple positively oriented closed contour around $z_0$ such that $f$ is analytic on and inside $Gamma$ except possibly at $z_0$. It should be in any complex variables text.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
I thought that Cauchy's formula works if $z_0$ is neither a singularity nor a branch point. Cauchy formula works if $z_0$=0 but isn't 0 a singularity of f(z)?
