SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the integral of the function f(z) = z / (e^(2πiz²) - 1) along the contour γ_r, defined as |z| = r, where r > 2. The user identifies two points, z = ±√n, where the denominator approaches zero while the numerator remains non-zero, leading to residues of 1/(4πi) at both points. The user also mentions z = 0, where both the numerator and denominator are zero, and attempts to calculate the residue using the limit formula. However, the professor indicates that additional points, such as ±√2 and ±√3, are relevant due to the behavior of the denominator, complicating the definition of the area for the integral.

PREREQUISITES
  • Complex analysis, specifically residue theory
  • Understanding of contour integration
  • Familiarity with the exponential function in complex variables
  • Knowledge of limits and continuity in calculus
NEXT STEPS

i need to calculate this integral [tex]f(z)=\frac{z}{e^{2\pi iz^2}-1}\\[/tex]

in this area
[tex]\gamma _r=\left \{ |z|=r \right \},r>2[/tex]

i need to find the points which turn to zero in the denominator
and non zero in the numerator.
i got two such points
[tex]z=\pm \sqrt{n}[/tex]
by using this formula
[tex]res(\sqrt{a})=\frac{p(a)}{q(a)'}[/tex]
[tex]res(\sqrt{n})=\frac{1}{4\pi i}[/tex]
[tex]res(-\sqrt{n})=\frac{1}{4\pi i}[/tex]

the third point is z=0 but for it we have both numerator and denominator 0
i calculated the residium for it by [tex]res(f(x),a)=\lim_{x->a}(f(x)(x-a))[/tex] formula
but then
my prof says some stuff that involves the area
he says that my points are 0 +1 -1 +2^(0.5) -2^(0.5) etc.. because the denominator goes to zero
for each point have a residiu and i need to sum the residiums inside.
but here the area is not defined
its not like (by radius 3)

i don't know what point are inside the area

??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
anyone?>?>
 
sorry there is a mistake
the area is
[tex] \gamma _r=\left \{ |z|=r \right \},n<r^2<n+1[/tex]

and the integral is from plus to minus infinity
