Singularities pole type

It can be studied by reference to a pole-type singularity. One method of testing implicit functions for pole behavior is to try to remove the pole. Thus, suppose the function w = f(s) becomes infinite at the point s = a, and we are suspicious that a pole exists at that point. If we can define a new function... 

Recall that additive is the term to specify, possibly, a multivalued analytic function on Af whose branches differ by a constant, all branches having only pole-type singularities. Such functions are defined like the Picard integrals of type I and II on Af, see [225], Ch. II. 

It can be easily seen that the singular behaviour of gj a ears as a pole in the CDW susceptibility of the coupled system X 3D / tT-Tc while the other three response functions do not get enhanced at finite temperatures. This indicates the tendency of the system to undergo a CDW-type phase transition. 

The integrand of eq. 4.140 in general use has two types of singularities namely branch points and poles. First we will consider a two-layered medium when the invasion zone is absent. Analysis of zeroes of a determinant of function Ci, as well as calculations shows... 

A singular chiral adduct was formed between C70 and two RujfCOjg units which are known for the complexation of arenes. From the corresponding mono -adduct it was known that the trinuclear ruthenium moieties add preferentially to the hexagons of highest local curvature [143]. Assuming addition of two Ru3(CO)9 units at opposite poles, three constitutional isomers of [[Ru3(CO)9 2(ft-T2, /2, rf-C7o)] are possible in analogy to the addition of achiral divalent addends to a-type bonds (cf. Sect. 4.2.1) [54,131 ] One of them has symmetry and two have C2-symmetry. Of the three formed isomers, the major one afforded crystals suitable for X-ray analysis it has an inherently chiral addition pattern and corresponds to structure ( )-59 [143] (Fig. 9). 

A characteristic feature of ground state energies of coulombic systems is the presence of a second-order pole at = 1. The origin of these poles has been explained by Doren and Herschbach [14,16] in terms of an analysis of the Schrodinger equation at particle coalescences. Their method of analysis allows one to predict the locations and types of a certain class of dimensional singularities without actually having to solve for the function E S). We will illustrate this first for central-potential problems and then for many-particle systems. 

This argument identifies the location of a singularity, but it does not elucidate its type, for example, whether it is a pole or a branch point. Since the divergence occurs at the limit r 0, the singularities of E can be characterized by determining the behavior of at small r. In the neighborhood of the origin, (r) formally has the expansion... 

In principle there could also be other types of singularities at D = 3—2n as long as they do not diverge as quickly as a second-order pole. In the case of the one-electron atom the residue a i of the first-order... 

We have seen in Section 9.5 that simple poles or nth order poles at the origin are removable type singularities, so that if f(s) contains a singularity at the origin, say a pole of order N, then it can be removed and the new function so generated will be analytic, even at the origin... 

Now, if a simple pole exists at s = a, then obviously (s - a) must be a factor in gis), so we could express the denominator as g(s) = (s - a)G(s), provided G(s) contains no other singularities at s = a. Clearly, the Laurent expansion must exist, even though it may not be immediately apparent, and so we can always write a hypothetical representation of the type given in Eq. 9.75 ... 

If one follows an analytic function around a contour to the initial point and it does not return to the same value, then the function is multi-valued. This is associated with the presence of a branch point within the contour. A branch point is a type of singularity, distinct from a pole or essential singularity. It is not isolated since, as we shall see below, its effects are not localized at one point. The function (z-aY is, for non-integral values of y, a multi-valued function which is of considerable interest in the present context. We will, therefore, outline its properties. In the standard polar representation, it becomes... 

Problems with fxc- As mentioned earlier, the adiabatic approximation is a low frequency (low energy) approximation. It is thus natural to ask how and where the frequency dependence of fxc should become important. Two rather different types of frequency dependence are important in this context [59]. The first type (dispersion) consists of a continuous variation of fxci ) as a function of cu, and will result in shifted excitation energies. The second type (pole structure) consists of the probable presence of singularities in fxc ( ) at particular values of a . This pole structure is associated with the appearance of additional satellite peaks in the electronic absorption spectra, due to mixing of many-electron with one-electron excitations.
