⇀ ⇀ Definition 1.1. For an integer d ≥ 1, let a and γ be two d-tuples of complex

⇀ a = (a1,...,ad) ⇀ γ = (γ1,...,γd).

⇀ ⇀ Define a complex-exponent polynomial p(z; a , γ ) to be a function of the form

p: L → C

d γk z 7→ akz k X=1 which we abbreviate as p(z). Let g(z): C → C be a holomorphic function. We assume that g(z) has a simple zero α 6= 0, and we write its expansion about α as

∞ k g(z)= ck(z − α) (1) k X=1 for some ck ∈ C with c1 6= 0. We call g(z) the “base function”. We fix an element of L that corresponds to α and also denote it by α. Then g(z) also determines a function from a neighborhood V of α in L to C, via the mapping

z 7→ z1 ∈ C for z ∈ V.

g(z)=1+ bzβ (5) for non-zero b,β ∈ C. As shown in [3], Birkeland [2] and Sturmfels [10] essen- tially find the Taylor series coefficients using the base function (5) with positive integer β and with γi distinct integers not equal to β, though they do not use that terminology or the methods of Taylor series. Their formulas may be ex- pressed in terms of falling factorials. We generalize these formulas in [3] by allowing γi and β to be arbitrary complex numbers (β 6= 0) and show that the is preserved using falling factorials (see Theorem 2.5 here). In this paper, we consider the base function (1) and prove in Theorem 3.2 ⇀ −1 ⇀ that ∂(φ, n) is a polynomial in c1 ,ci, 2 ≤ i ≤ Σn, and that the coefficients of this polynomial factorize as well, using similar falling factorials. Now, the base function (5) is a special case of (1) obtained via

β c = b αβ−k. k k   Using this fact combined with Theorem 3.4 gives another proof of Theorem 4.1 in Sturmfels [10]. His proof of Theorem 4.1 uses Hensel’s Lemma, and our proof of Theorem 3.4 counts terms in a derivative. We also note with base function (5), Theorem 3.2 here and Theorem 1.3 ⇀ of [3] give two different formulas for the quantity ∂(φ, n). We include in section 5 the objective of finding a direct proof of this identity.

3 2 Definitions and cited theorems 2.1 Definitions Most of the following definitions occur in [3]. First we present notation for multisets and multiset partitions. For an integer M ≥ 0, we let [1,M] denote

[1,M]= {i ∈ Z: 1 ≤ i ≤ M}.

Definition 2.1. For a positive integer N, define an ordered multiset I of [1, d] to be an N-tuple of integers

I = (I(1),...,I(N)) with 1 ≤ I(i) ≤ d. We say that the order |I| is N. We define the multiplicity #(n, I) of n in I as the of indices i such that I(i)= n. For a multiset X we also denote the multiplicity of n in X as #(n,X). Let Multiset(d) denote the set of these ordered multisets. For a positive integer k, define a set partition s of [1,N] with k parts to be a k-tuple s = (s1,...,sk) where si are pairwise disjoint non-empty subsets of [1,N],

k si = [1,N], i=1 [ and min(si) < min(sj ) for i < j.

We also write a set si as an m-tuple

si = (si(1),...,si(m)) where m = |si| and si(j)

J = (J1,...,Jk) where J ∈ Multiset(d) is given by

Ji = (I(si(1)),...,I(si(m))) where m = |si|. Thus the multiset partitions of I with k parts are in bijection with the set partitions in S(|I|, k). Let Parts(I, k) denote the set of such multiset partitions J.

4 ′ Each part Ji of a J ∈ Parts(I, k) is thus a multiset. For J, J ∈ Parts(I, k), we say that J and J ′ are equivalent if there exists a permutation σ of [1, k] such that ′ #(l,Ji) = #(l,Jσ(i)) for each 1 ≤ l ≤ d. We let I(hˆ) denote the ordered multiset obtained from I by removing the element at the h-th index:

I(hˆ) = (I(1),...,I(h − 1), I(h + 1),...,I(N)).

We use the notation N

γm = γI(i) m I i=1 X∈ X where N = |I|. ⇀ For any function ψ( a ) of the form (4) and I ∈ Multiset(d), denote

|I| ∂ ⇀ ∂(ψ, I) = ( )ψ( a )|⇀ ∂a 0 i=1 I(i) Y We also use the falling factorial applied to indeterminates, where “indeter- minate” refers to an arbitrary element of some over Z. Definition 2.2. For an integer k ≥ 0 and an indeterminate x, define the falling factorial k (x)k = (x − i + 1). i=1 Y ∞ Let µ denote an infinite sequence (µi)i=1 of non-negative integers µi such that µi = 0 for sufficiently large i. For integer r ≥ 1, let C(r) denote the set of all such µ such that µi = r. i X≥1 Thus C(r) is the set of compositions of r with non-negative parts.

2.2 Cited theorems These results are used here in Theorems 3.2, 3.3, and 4.1. Lemma 2.3. For indeterminates a and b and an integer n ≥ 0,

n n (a + b) = (a) (b) n i i n−i i=0 X   and equivalently n a + b a b = . n i n − i i=0   X   

5 Proof. This is Lemma 6.1 of [3].

Lemma 2.4. Suppose F (x) is a polynomial of degree m. Then

m+1 k−1 (x − 1) k − 1 F (x)= k−1 (−1)k−1−r F (r + 1). (k − 1)! r k r=0 X=1 X   Proof. This is Lemma 2.4 of [3].

Proof. This is Theorem 1.3 of [3].

Theorem 2.6. Let R be a commutative ring and let δ : R → R be a derivation. For an integer M ≥ 0 and elements fA,fB,fi ∈ R, 1 ≤ i ≤ M,

M |wc|−1 (1) |w| M δ (fA fi)δ (fB fi)= δ (fAfB fi) (6) i∈wc i∈w i=1 w⊂X[1,M] Y Y Y

c (1) where w denotes the complement of w in [1,M]; fA denotes δfA; and in the c −1 (1) case w is empty, δ fA denotes fA. Proof. This is Theorem 4.3 of [3].

Theorem 2.7. For integers 1 ≤ k ≤ N, an indeterminate ν, and N indetermi- nates xi, 1 ≤ i ≤ N,

k−1 N 1 k − 1 (−1)k−1−r ((r + 1)ν − 1+ x ) (7) (k − 1)! r i N−1 r=0 i=1 X   X k k−1 =ν (ν − 1+ xm)|si|−1. (8) i=1 m∈si s∈SX(N,k) Y X Proof. This is Theorem 4.1 of [3].

6 3 Taylor coefficient theorem

Definition 3.1. Let α be the zero of base function (1). For an x ∈ C and integers r ≥ 0 and a ≥ 1, define αx x − µ1 F (x, r, a)= (−1) (r + µi)! (a − 1)! r − (i − 1)µi − (a − 1) i≥2 i µ∈XC(r)   X≥2 r i µ a µ −( −≥2( −1) i−( −1)) i P α ci × r+1+P µ i≥2 2 µi! c i 1 Y≥2 and also F (x, −1,a)=0. Theorem 3.2. With the above notation and base function (1), and for an I ∈ Multiset(d) with |I|≥ 1,

∂(φ, I)= F ( γm, |I|− 1, 1). (9) m I X∈ Proof. We use induction on |I|. When I = (i), we differentiate (2) ⇀ with respect to ai and evaluate at a = 0 to obtain

γi 0= α + c1∂(φ, I). Solving for ∂(φ, I) proves the base case of |I| = 1. Given an I with |I|≥ 1, suppose equation (9) is true for all I′ with |I′| < |I|. ⇀ Given any function ψ( a ) of the form (4), it follows from the definitions that

|I| |I|−1 k ⇀ γI(h) −k ∂(f ◦ ψ, I)= (γI(h))kψ( 0 ) ∂(ψ,Ji)) (10) h k i=1 X=1 X=1 J∈Parts(XI(hˆ),k) Y |I| k ⇀ (k) + g (ψ( 0 )) ∂(ψ,Ji). (11) k i=1 X=1 J∈Parts(X I,k) Y Setting ψ to be φ, we obtain

|I| |I|−1 k γI(h) −k 0= (γI(h))kα ∂(φ, Ji) (12) h k i=1 X=1 X=1 J∈Parts(XI(hˆ),k) Y |I| k + k!ck ∂(φ, Ji) (13) k i=1 X=2 J∈Parts(X I,k) Y + c1∂(φ, I). (14) Using the induction hypothesis we may express the sum in the right side of the equation at 12 as

|I| |I|−1 k γI(h) −k (γI(h))kα F ( xm, |Ji|− 1, 1). h k i=1 m J X=1 X=1 J∈Parts(XI(hˆ),k) Y X∈ i

7 To the sum over J we apply Theorem 3.3 and obtain

|I| |I|−1 γI(h) −k (γI(h))kα F ( xm, |I|− 2, k). h k X=1 X=1 mX∈I(hˆ) Substituting in the definition of F (x, r, a) and then using

(γI(h))k = (γI(h))(γI(h) − 1)k−1 yields

|I| |I|−1 (γI(h) − 1)k−1 ˆ γi Pi I γi µ1 i∈I(h) −α ∈ γI(h) (−1) (k − 1)! |I|− 2 − (i − 1)µi − (k − 1) h=1 k=1 µ∈C(|I|−2) Pi≥2 X X X   −(|I|−1−P (i−1)µ )) µi α i≥2 i c P I µ i . × (| |− 2+ i)! |I|−1+P µ i≥2 2 µi! i c i X≥2 1 Y≥2 Interchanging the sum over k and µ and applying Lemma 2.3 gives

∂(φ, I)= F ( xm, |I|− 1, 1). m I X∈ Now combining the result (15) it is sufficient to prove

Theorem 3.3. For an integers 1 ≤ a ≤ M and indeterminates xi, 1 ≤ i ≤ M,

a M F ( xm, |si|− 1, 1) = F ( xi,M − 1,a). (23)

i=1 m∈si i=1 s∈SX(M,a) Y X X Proof. We use induction on M. Equation (23) is true when M = 1. Assume it is true for all values less than or equal to some M ≥ 1. We note the equation is true when a = 1 for any M. For 1 ≤ a ≤ M, we have by the induction hypothesis

µi ≤ νi for i ≥ 2

µ1 ≤ ν1 − 1.

This proves the claim and completes the proof.

Now we present definitions for Theorem 4.1. Using base function (5), we rename its zero α by α1, and we denote the ⇀ ⇀ corresponding zero φ( a ; γ,g,α1) of f(z) by

⇀ ⇀ φ( a ; γ,b,β1).

For a non-zero β2 ∈ C, we denote α2 by
