MHB Residue Calculation for Contour $|z-i|=1$

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the residue for the contour $|z-i|=1$ and confirms the integral of the function $\frac{z + 1}{z^2 + 1}$. It establishes that the only residue within this contour is at $z = i$, leading to the calculation of $\text{Res}_{z = i}\frac{z + 1}{z^2 + 1} = \frac{i + 1}{2i}$. The integral is then evaluated as $\int_C f(z) = \pi(1 + i)$. The calculations and conclusions presented are confirmed as correct.

For the contour $|z| = 2$

$$
\int_C\frac{z + 1}{z^2 + 1}dz = \int_C\frac{z + 1}{(z + i)(z - i)}dz = 2\pi i\sum\text{Res}_{z = z_j}\frac{z + 1}{z^2 + 1}
$$
Let $g(z) = z^2 + 1$. The zeros of $g$ occur when $z = \pm i$. $g'(\pm i)\neq 0$ so the poles are simple for $1/g$. Let $f(z) = \dfrac{z + 1}{z^2 + 1}$. Then
$$
\text{Res}_{z = i}f(z) = \frac{i + 1}{2i}\quad\text{and}\quad\text{Res}_{z = -i}f(z) = \frac{i - 1}{2i}.
$$
So
$$
\int_C\frac{z + 1}{z^2 + 1}dz = 2\pi i\sum\text{Res}_{z = z_j}\frac{z + 1}{z^2 + 1} = 2\pi i.
$$

Correct?

For the contour $|z-i|=1$

For this contour, the only residue is when $z = i$.
So the
$$
\text{Res}_{z = i}\frac{z + 1}{z^2 + 1} = \frac{i + 1}{2i} \ \text{Res}_{z = i}\frac{1}{z - i}
$$
Then
$$
\int_Cf(z)= \pi(1 + i)
$$

Correct?

Yes! (Star)
 
We all know the definition of n-dimensional topological manifold uses open sets and homeomorphisms onto the image as open set in ##\mathbb R^n##. It should be possible to reformulate the definition of n-dimensional topological manifold using closed sets on the manifold's topology and on ##\mathbb R^n## ? I'm positive for this. Perhaps the definition of smooth manifold would be problematic, though.
