§23.9 Laurent and Other Power Series

Let z_{0}(\neq 0) be the nearest lattice point to the origin, and define

23.9.1 c_{n}=(2n-1)\sum_{w\in\mathbb{L}\setminus\{0\}}w^{-2n},n=2,3,4,\dots.

Then

23.9.2 \wp\left(z\right)=\frac{1}{z^{2}}+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}c_{n}z^{2n-2},0<|z|<|z_{0}|,
23.9.3 \zeta\left(z\right)=\frac{1}{z}-\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{c_{n}}{2n-1}z^{2n-1},0<|z|<|z_{0}|.

Here

23.9.4
c_{2}=\frac{1}{20}g_{2},
c_{3}=\frac{1}{28}g_{3},
23.9.5 c_{n}=\frac{3}{(2n+1)(n-3)}\sum_{m=2}^{n-2}c_{m}c_{n-m},n\geq 4.

Explicit coefficients c_{n} in terms of c_{2} and c_{3} are given up to c_{19} in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, p. 636).

For j=1,2,3, and with e_{j} as in §23.3(i),

as t\to 0. For the next four terms see Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, (18.5.56)). Also, Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, (18.5.25)) supplies the first 22 terms in the reverted form of (23.9.2) as 1/\wp\left(z\right)\to 0.

For z\in\mathbb{C}

23.9.7 \sigma\left(z\right)=\sum_{m,n=0}^{\infty}a_{m,n}(10c_{2})^{m}(56c_{3})^{n}%
\frac{z^{4m+6n+1}}{(4m+6n+1)!},

where a_{0,0}=1, a_{m,n}=0 if either m or n<0, and

23.9.8 a_{m,n}=3(m+1)a_{m+1,n-1}+\tfrac{16}{3}(n+1)a_{m-2,n+1}-\tfrac{1}{3}(2m+3n-1)(%
4m+6n-1)a_{m-1,n}.

For a_{m,n} with m=0,1,\dots,12 and n=0,1,\dots,8, see Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, p. 637).
