Regular part

From HandWiki

In mathematics, the regular part of a Laurent series consists of the series of terms with positive powers.[1] That is, if

[math]\displaystyle{ f(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} a_n (z - c)^n, }[/math]

then the regular part of this Laurent series is

[math]\displaystyle{ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n (z - c)^n. }[/math]

In contrast, the series of terms with negative powers is the principal part.[1]
