Abstract: The basic definitions reviewed. The essential correction to the function is introduced in the definition. Explanations with essential examples are introduced so that the paper exhibits pedagogical and epistemological values. Pseudo natures of analyticity and singularity are considered. Keywords: modified version of Residue at infinity, Pseudo analyticity, . Pseudo singularity PACS numbers: 1.85+f, 2.30-f, 2.30 Fn, 2.90+p I. INTRODUCTION The theory of complex variables has found everlasting interests for physicists as well as mathematicians. Vast number of research publications, textbooks and reference books are available. Although an appreciable amount of useful literature already exists, still the research can never be terminating. II.

Clearly, the function has ‘m’ poles of order ‘k’. In the limit m→∞, the restriction of isolation fails. If we choose the contour in such a manner that no poles (including pole at infinity too) lie on or within the contour, then according to Cauchy’s Integral Theorem, we have [1]

 f z dz   f z dz   f z dz   f z dz...  0 C

Where contour C is positive in counter clockwise direction and all other Ci are negative and on are in clockwise senses. In this way the contours –Ci are positive in counter clockwise directions.

When k is finite the residue can be calculated using the formula [3]:

When k is not finite, we substitute [4] z-zj =tj in Eq. (1)

Now we concentrate our attention to case where zj =∞; we redefine Eq. (5)as follows

Where fp is polynomial part of the function, fP principal part of the function, , fR residual part of the function, and , fN non-residual part of the function. These functions have very distinct features:

Thus we observe that Eq. (13) is a particular case of Eq. (12). Moreover, comparing Eq. (9) and (13), it becomes feasible to infer that z= ∞ is regarded as a simple irrespective of any order. This fact is evident from correspondence between stereographic projections of Riemann Sphere on Argand Plane.

Here the origin of Argand Plane (C2) coincides with South Pole of Riemann sphere (C3). The North Pole projects on extended complex plane {C2   }. Here it is remarkable that any order of infinity either complex or real corresponds to the unique point (North Pole). Thus we can treat singularity at infinity as a simple pole. And the transformation w=1/z is sufficient. We have no need to utilize w=1/zn.

Fig.3 shows that poles are encircled by clockwise circles. The big inner circle is counter clockwise and it is the counter considered. The big outer circle is clockwise and it should also be utilized to encircle a pole. The poles in the finite region of space are already covered in small circles and therefore this big outermost circle covers the pole at infinity.

IV. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In old schools of mathematics and physics, calculus of residue is a powerful tool. Singularity at infinite is not given a proper consideration. We find many statements in even in text books [5], [6].[7],[8]that in some cases z= is a pole of order m, though no one applied the transformation w=1/zm, rather w=1/z is utilized. We have given explanation to this point with Fig.2. We observe that it can be regarded as a simple pole equally well. We find very important note as a function may be regular at infinity, but yet have a residue there. The reason is well understood in table provided. Moreover, not only analyticity and singularity, but pseudo analyticity and pseudo singularity also observed and explained. Fig. 3 has its own importance as integral representation of residue at infinity. It makes well understood that outer most contour in anticlockwise sense encloses the pole at infinity.
