For an isolated pole of order , the Laurent coefficients must satisfy
Then the principal part of a Laurent series is a finite sum with lowest power . The classification at the center assumes analyticity on a punctured neighborhood , or an analytic continuation there. A Laurent expansion on an annulus with positive inner radius alone does not imply that the center is an isolated singularity.
