➢ The unit circle z = ei , (0    2 )


about the origin is a simple closed curve, oriented in the
counterclockwise direction.
So is the circle z = z0 + ei ,(0    2 )
centered at the point z0 and with radius 1.
➢ The set of points z = e−i , (0    2 )
This unit circle is traveled in the clockwise direction.
➢ The set of point z = ei 2 , (0    2 )
This unit circle is traversed twice in the counterclockwise
direction. Note: the same set of points can make up different arcs.

Independence of Path
DEFINITION
Independence of the Path
Let z0 and z1 be points in a domain D. A contour
integral  f ( z ) d z is said to be independent of the
C
path if its value is the same for all contours C in D
with an initial point z0 and a terminal point z1.
❖See Fig.

The only bounded entire functions are constants.

For n = 1, (7) gives |f ’(z0)|  M/r. By taking r arbitrarily
large, we can make |f ’(z0)| as small as we wish. That is,
|f ’(z0)| = 0, f is a constant function.

Since the function f (z) = ez is entire, it has a Maclaurin
series representation which is valid for all z. Here f(n)(z)

Thus z = 0 is a simple pole for 0 < |z| < 1.

19.5 Residues and Residue Theorem

❖Residue
The coefficient a-1 of 1/(z – z0) in the Laurent series is
called the residue of the function f at the isolated
singularity. We use this notation
a-1 = Res(f(z), z0)

Ch19_124
Example 1
(a) z = 1 is a pole of order 2 of f(z) = 1/(z – 1)2(z – 3).
The coefficient of 1/(z – 1) is a-1 = −¼ .

Ch19_125
THEOREM 19.12
Residue at a Simple Pole
If f has a simple pole at z = z0, then
Res( f ( z ) , z0 ) = lim ( z − z0 ) f ( z )
z → z0 (1)

Ch19_126
THEOREM 19.12
Proof
Since z = z0 is a simple pole, we have
a−1
f ( z) = + a0 + a1 ( z − z0 ) + a2 ( z − z0 ) 2 + ...
z − z0
lim ( z − z0 ) f ( z )
z → z0

= lim [a−1 + a0 ( z − z0 ) + a1 ( z − z0 ) 2 + ...]


z → z0

Ch19_127
THEOREM 19.13
Residue at a Pole of Order n
If f has a pole of order n at z = z0, then
1 d n−1
Res( f ( z ) , z0 ) = lim n−1 ( z − z0 ) n f ( z ) (2)
(n − 1)! z → z0 dz

Ch19_128
THEOREM 19.13
Proof
Since z = z0 is a pole of order n, we have the form
a−n a−1
f ( z) = + ... + + a0 + a1 ( z − z0 ) + ...
( z − z0 ) n
z − z0
( z − z0 ) n f ( z ) = a−n + ... + a−1 ( z − z0 ) n−1 + a0 ( z − z0 ) n + ...

pole at z0 (note that h(z0) = 0), then

Res( f ( z ) , z0 ) = (4)

Indented Contour
❖The complex functions f(z) = P(z)/Q(z) of the
improper integrals (2) and (3) did not have poles on
the real axis. When f(z) has a pole at z = c, where c is
a real number, we must use the indented contour as in
Fig 19.13.

THEOREM
Behavior of Integral as r → 

Suppose f has a simple pole z = c on the real axis. If


Cr is the contour defined by z = c + rei , 0     , then

lim  f ( z ) dz =  i Res( f ( z ) , c)
r →0 Cr

Ch19_170
THEOREM proof
Proof
Since f has a simple pole at z = c, its Laurent series is
f(z) = a-1/(z – c) + g(z)
where a-1 = Res(f(z), c) and g is analytic at c. Using the
Laurent series and the parameterization of Cr, we have

Next, g is analytic at c and so it is continuous at c and is
bounded in a neighborhood of the point; that is, there
exists an M > 0 for which |g(c + rei)|  M.
Hence

It follows that limr→0|I2| = 0 and limr→0I2 = 0.
