SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on contour integration, specifically addressing the integration of a complex function along a contour defined by \( C: t=Re^{i\theta} \). The user presents a problem involving the integral of the function \( f(t) \) and expresses confusion about the integration process, particularly after applying integration by parts, which led to increased complexity. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on the steps involved in evaluating integrals of this nature.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex analysis, particularly contour integration.
  • Familiarity with the residue theorem and Cauchy's integral formula.
  • Knowledge of integration techniques, including integration by parts.
  • Basic proficiency in manipulating complex functions and exponential forms.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Cauchy's integral formula and its applications in contour integration.
  • Learn about the residue theorem and how it simplifies complex integrals.
  • Practice integration techniques specific to complex functions, including integration by parts.
  • Explore examples of contour integrals involving complex functions to gain practical insights.
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those studying complex analysis, as well as anyone seeking to improve their skills in evaluating contour integrals.

As the tutorial has not covered this topic yet, I'm quite confused on this question. (there is another question about this topic too, but I would like to try that question after knowing how to do this question)
Q.8 (a) (I'm not sure whether I will know how to do (b) after having (a) done, I just ask (a) first)
C: t=Re^{i\theta}\\<br /> dt=iRe^{i\theta}d\theta\\<br /> R.H.S.=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_{C}f(t)[\frac{1}{t-z}-\frac{1}{t-z^*}]dt\\<br /> =\frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_{C}\frac{f(t)}{t-z}dt-\frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_{C}\frac{f(t)}{t-z^*}dt\\<br /> =\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{f(Re^{i\theta})}{Re^{i\theta}-z}iRe^{i\theta}d\theta-\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{f(Re^{i\theta})}{Re^{i\theta}-z^*}iRe^{i\theta}d\theta\\<br /> =\frac{R}{2\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{f(Re^{i\theta})}{Re^{i\theta}-z}e^{i\theta}d\theta-\frac{R}{2\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{f(Re^{i\theta})}{Re^{i\theta}-z^*}e^{i\theta}d\theta

I'm confused that whether I should do it like this.
When I go to this step, I do not know what should I do to integrate it.
I have tried integration by part but I then got a more complicated one...
Can anyone help me? Thank you.
