Jonquière's Theorem

Jonquière's theorem states that for an algebraic curve, the total number of groups of a g_N^r consisting in a point of multiplicity k_1, one of multiplicity k_2, ..., one of multiplicity k_rho, where

sumk_i=N
(1)
sum(k_i-1)=r,
(2)

and where alpha_1 points have one multiplicity, alpha_2 another, etc., and

Pi=k_1k_2...k_rho
(3)

is

(Pip(p-1)...(p-rho))/(alpha_1!alpha_2!...)[Pi/(p-rho)-(sum_(i)(partialPi)/(partialk_i))/(p-rho+1)+(sum_(ij)(partial^2Pi)/(partialk_ipartialk_j))/(p-rho+2)+...].
