To integrate sin(z)/(z-1)^2 using Cauchy's Integral Formula, it's essential to recognize that the contour must enclose both z = 1 and z = i, although the focus is primarily on z = 1. The formula indicates that the term 1/(z-1)^2 can be confusing, but it is crucial for determining the coefficients in the expansion. The integration requires identifying the coefficient a_{-1} from the series expansion of sin(z) around z = 1. Understanding these coefficients is key to successfully applying the integral formula.

How would you integrate sin(z)/(z-1)^2 using Cauchy's Integral Formula? 1 is in C.

Cheers

Integration domain would be relevant.
 
All it says is that "C is any simple closed contour around both z = 1 and z = i"
 
The knowledge that the contour goes once around z=1 should be enough. The comment on point z=i looks like misdirection.

I believe that actually you already know what you want there, assuming that you know the Cauchy's integral formula. It's just that the 1/(z-1)^2 is confusing?
 
Yeah. I know the formula.

I did 1/(z-1)^2 but didn't come out as partial fractions.
 
There exists coefficients a_{-2}, a_{-1}, a_0, a_1, \ldots so that

<br /> \frac{\sin z}{(z-1)^2} = \frac{a_{-2}}{(z-1)^2} \;+\; \frac{a_{-1}}{z-1} \;+\; a_0 \;+\; a_1(z-1) \;+\; \cdots<br />

For integration, you need to know the a_{-1}.
 
First, I tried to show that ##f_n## converges uniformly on ##[0,2\pi]##, which is true since ##f_n \rightarrow 0## for ##n \rightarrow \infty## and ##\sigma_n=\mathrm{sup}\left| \frac{\sin\left(\frac{n^2}{n+\frac 15}x\right)}{n^{x^2-3x+3}} \right| \leq \frac{1}{|n^{x^2-3x+3}|} \leq \frac{1}{n^{\frac 34}}\rightarrow 0##. I can't use neither Leibnitz's test nor Abel's test. For Dirichlet's test I would need to show, that ##\sin\left(\frac{n^2}{n+\frac 15}x \right)## has partialy bounded sums...
