In summary, the first conversation discusses the evaluation of ∫C (z)/z2+9 dz, where C is a circle with a center at 2i and a radius of 4. The second conversation discusses the evaluation of ∫c cos(z)/(z-1)^3(z-5)^2 dz, where C is a circle with a center at 4 and a radius of 2. The suggested method for solving these integrals is using the residue theorem and identifying the poles within the given contours.

1. Evaluate ∫C (z)/z2+9 dz , where C is the circle │z-2i│=4.

what i have done so far is :

z(t) = 2i + 4eit
z'(t) = 4ieit
f(z(t)) = 4ieit/(4ieit)2+9

∫ (4ieit/(4ieit)2+9) (4ieit) dt

intergrate from 0->2pi

but i don't know how to solve this intergral, can anyone help?

2. ∫c cos(z)/(z-1)^3(z-5)^2 dz , where C is the circle │z-4│=2.

this z'(t) = 0
so , is this intergral equal 0?
since f(z(t))(z'(t)) = 0


Thanks

Shouldn't you be using the residue theorem to evaluate the integrals?

(Note that (1) has poles at ±i3, and (2) has poles at 1 & 5. Which of those lie within the given contours?)
 

FAQ: Solving Complex Integrals Using the Residue Theorem on Circular Contours

What is a complex integration?

A complex integration is a mathematical process used to calculate the area under a complex curve. It involves breaking down the curve into small sections and using complex numbers to determine the area of each section. The overall area is then found by summing up the areas of all the sections.

How is a complex integration different from a regular integration?

A regular integration is used to calculate the area under a real-valued curve, while a complex integration is used for complex-valued curves. The calculations involved in a complex integration are also more complex, as they involve working with complex numbers and taking into account both real and imaginary components.

What are some practical applications of complex integration?

Complex integration has many practical applications, particularly in physics, engineering, and economics. For example, it can be used to calculate the work done by a complex force, the electrical impedance of a circuit, or the area under a demand curve in economics.

What are some techniques for solving complex integrals?

There are several techniques for solving complex integrals, including the residue theorem, contour integration, and Cauchy's integral formula. These techniques involve using complex analysis and manipulating complex functions to simplify the integral and make it easier to solve.

Are there any limitations to complex integration?

While complex integration is a powerful tool for solving many mathematical problems, it does have its limitations. Some integrals may be too complex to solve using traditional techniques, and numerical methods may be required instead. Additionally, complex integration is primarily used for functions that are analytic, meaning they can be represented by a convergent power series. Functions that are not analytic may not be able to be integrated using complex integration.
