Contour Integral
1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the contour integral $$\int_C f(z) \, dz$$ where $$f(z) = \pi \exp(\pi \overline{z})$$ and $$C$$ is the boundary of the square with vertices $$0, 1, 1+i, i$$ traced counterclockwise.
2. **Understanding the function and contour:**
The function involves the conjugate $$\overline{z}$$, which is not holomorphic (complex differentiable) because it depends on $$\overline{z}$$, not just $$z$$.
3. **Parameterizing the contour:**
The contour $$C$$ is the square with vertices $$0 \to 1 \to 1+i \to i \to 0$$.
We can split the integral into four line integrals over each side:
- Side 1: from $$0$$ to $$1$$ along the real axis, parameterize as $$z = t$$, $$t \in [0,1]$$.
- Side 2: from $$1$$ to $$1+i$$ along vertical line, parameterize as $$z = 1 + it$$, $$t \in [0,1]$$.
- Side 3: from $$1+i$$ to $$i$$ along horizontal line, parameterize as $$z = 1 - t + i$$, $$t \in [0,1]$$.
- Side 4: from $$i$$ to $$0$$ along vertical line, parameterize as $$z = i - it$$, $$t \in [0,1]$$.
4. **Expressing $$f(z)$$ on each side:**
Recall $$f(z) = \pi \exp(\pi \overline{z})$$.
Since $$\overline{z}$$ is the complex conjugate, for $$z = x + iy$$, $$\overline{z} = x - iy$$.
5. **Compute each integral:**
**Side 1:** $$z = t$$, $$\overline{z} = t$$, $$dz = dt$$.
$$\int_0^1 \pi e^{\pi t} dt = \pi \int_0^1 e^{\pi t} dt = \pi \left[ \frac{e^{\pi t}}{\pi} \right]_0^1 = e^{\pi} - 1$$
**Side 2:** $$z = 1 + it$$, $$\overline{z} = 1 - it$$, $$dz = i dt$$.
Integral:
$$\int_0^1 \pi e^{\pi (1 - it)} i dt = \pi i e^{\pi} \int_0^1 e^{-i \pi t} dt = \pi i e^{\pi} \left[ \frac{e^{-i \pi t}}{-i \pi} \right]_0^1 = e^{\pi} (1 - e^{-i \pi})$$
Since $$e^{-i \pi} = -1$$, this becomes:
$$e^{\pi} (1 - (-1)) = 2 e^{\pi}$$
**Side 3:** $$z = 1 - t + i$$, $$\overline{z} = 1 - t - i$$, $$dz = -dt$$.
Integral:
$$\int_0^1 \pi e^{\pi (1 - t - i)} (-dt) = -\pi e^{\pi (1 - i)} \int_0^1 e^{-\pi t} dt = -\pi e^{\pi (1 - i)} \left[ \frac{e^{-\pi t}}{-\pi} \right]_0^1 = e^{\pi (1 - i)} (1 - e^{-\pi})$$
**Side 4:** $$z = i - it$$, $$\overline{z} = -i + it$$, $$dz = -i dt$$.
Integral:
$$\int_0^1 \pi e^{\pi (-i + it)} (-i) dt = -\pi i e^{-i \pi} \int_0^1 e^{i \pi t} dt = -\pi i e^{-i \pi} \left[ \frac{e^{i \pi t}}{i \pi} \right]_0^1 = - e^{-i \pi} (e^{i \pi} - 1)$$
Since $$e^{-i \pi} = -1$$ and $$e^{i \pi} = -1$$, this becomes:
$$-(-1)(-1 - 1) = 2$$
6. **Sum all integrals:**
$$I = (e^{\pi} - 1) + 2 e^{\pi} + e^{\pi (1 - i)} (1 - e^{-\pi}) + 2$$
Simplify terms:
$$I = e^{\pi} - 1 + 2 e^{\pi} + e^{\pi} e^{-i \pi} (1 - e^{-\pi}) + 2$$
Recall $$e^{-i \pi} = -1$$, so:
$$I = 3 e^{\pi} - 1 + (- e^{\pi})(1 - e^{-\pi}) + 2 = 3 e^{\pi} - 1 - e^{\pi} + e^{\pi} e^{-\pi} + 2$$
Since $$e^{\pi} e^{-\pi} = 1$$:
$$I = 2 e^{\pi} - 1 + 1 + 2 = 2 e^{\pi} + 2$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\int_C f(z) \, dz = 2 e^{\pi} + 2}$$
