MHB Show Integral of $f(z)$ with Exponential Form

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on demonstrating the imaginary part of the exponential function involving complex variables, specifically showing that Im(exp(ae^(be^(icx)))) equals a specific sine function multiplied by an exponential term. It then transitions to integrating the function f(z) around a contour that includes the real axis and the upper half of a circle, leading to a specific integral result. The integral of interest is shown to equal a formula involving exponential terms and π/2. A key step in the proof involves confirming that the limit of the integral over the contour approaches iπe^a as R approaches infinity. This establishes the relationship between the integral and the exponential function in the context of complex analysis.

Show that $ \displaystyle \text{Im} \ \exp \left( ae^{be^{i c \ x}} \right) = \exp \left( ae^{b\cos(cx)\cos (b\sin cx)} \right) \sin \left( a\sin (b\sin c x) e^{b\cos cx} \right) $.EDIT: Then by integrating $ \displaystyle f(z) = \frac{z \exp ( ae^{be^{ic \ x}} )}{z^{2}+d^{2}}$ around a contour that consists of the real axis and the upper half of the circle $|z|=R$, show that

$$ \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{ x\exp \left( ae^{b\cos(cx)\cos (b\sin cx)}\right) \sin \left( a\sin (b\sin cx) e^{b\cos cx} \right)}{x^{2}+d^{2}}\ dx = \frac{\pi}{2}\left( \exp \left( ae^{be^{-c \ d}} \right)-e^{a}\right)$$This requires showing that $ \displaystyle \lim_{R \to \infty} \int_{C_{R}} f(z) \ dz = i \pi e^{a}$ where $C_{R}$ is the upper half of the circle $|z|=R$.

$$ \int_{C_{R}}f(z)\ dz =\int_{C_{R}}\frac{z}{z^{2}+d^{2}}\ dz+a\int_{C_{R}}\frac{ze^{be^{icx}}}{z^{2}+d^{2}}\ dz+\frac{a^{2}}{2!}\int_{C_{R}}\frac{ze^{2be^{icx}}}{z^{2}+d^{2}}\ dz+\ldots $$

$$ =\int_{C_{R}}\frac{z}{z^{2}+d^{2}}\ dz+a\left(\int_{C_{R}}\frac{z}{z^{2}+d^{2}}\ dz+b\int_{C_{R}}\frac{ze^{icz}}{z^{2}+d^{2}}+\frac{b^{2}}{2!}\int_{C_{R}}\frac{z e^{2icz}}{z^{2}+d^{2}}\ dz+\ldots\right) $$

$$ +\ \frac{a^{2}}{2!}\left(\int_{C_{R}}\frac{z}{z^{2}+d^{2}}\ dz+2b\int_{C_{R}}\frac{ze^{2icz}}{z^{2}+d^{2}}+ \frac{4b^{2}}{2!} \int_{C_{R}} \frac{z e^{4icz}}{z^{2}+d^{2}}\ dz+\ldots\right)+\ldots $$Then using Jordan's lemma and the fact that $ \displaystyle \lim_{|z| \to \infty} z \frac{z}{z^{2}+d^{2}} = 1$,

$$ \lim_{R\to\infty}\int_{C_{R}}f(z)\ dz =\pi i+a (\pi i+0+0+\ldots)+\frac{a^{2}}{2!}(\pi i+0+0+\ldots)+\ldots $$

$$ = i\pi\left( 1+a+\frac{a^{2}}{2!}+\ldots\right) = i\pi e^{a} $$
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
