Complex Integration: Contour Evaluation and Estimation Lemma

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on evaluating complex integrals using contour integration techniques. The first integral, ∫C Im(z − i)dz, is evaluated over a contour consisting of a circular arc along |z| = 1 and a line segment from z = i to z = −1. Participants suggest using the substitution z = e^(it) for the circular arc and express the line segment in terms of parameterization. The second part involves demonstrating that §C (e^z/(z+1)) dz ≤ 8∏e^(4/3) using the Estimation Lemma, indicating the importance of bounding integrals over specific contours.

1.Evaluate ∫C Im(z − i)dz, where C is the contour consisting of the circular arc along |z| = 1 from z = 1 to z = i and the line segment from z = i to z = −1.

2. Suppose that C is the circle |z| = 4 traversed once. Show that
§C (ez/(z+1)) dz ≤ 8∏e4/3

For question 1, should i let z= x+yi to solve the question?
and it said the I am part so i just need to consider the "yi"?

i tried but really have no idea on these 2 questions..
Please help
Thanks

Yes, let z=x+iy and then integrate iy-i over z=e^(it) as t goes from 0 to pi/2. So wouldn't that be:

\int_0^{\pi/2} Im(z-i)dz,\quad z=e^{it}

You can convert that to all in t right? dz=ie^(it)dt=i(cos(t)+isin(t))dt and won't y be just sin(t)?

For the contour from i to -1, need to do that one in terms of z=x(t)+iy(t). Isn't that line just y=x+1 as x goes from 0 to -1? So suppose I let x=x(t)=t, then y(t) is? Now substitute all that into the integral:

\int_0^{-1} (iy-i)dz,\quad z=x(t)+iy(t)

with dz=x'(t)+iy'(t)
 
For the second one, use the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_lemma" .
