1. **State and prove Cauchy's Residue Theorem:** Cauchy's Residue Theorem states that if a function $f(z)$ is analytic inside and on a simple closed contour $C$ except for a finite number of singularities inside $C$, then $$\oint_C f(z) \, dz = 2\pi i \sum \text{Res}(f, z_k)$$ where $\text{Res}(f, z_k)$ are the residues of $f$ at the singularities $z_k$ inside $C$. **Proof Sketch:** - By deforming the contour to small circles around each singularity and using Cauchy's integral formula, the integral over $C$ equals the sum of integrals around each singularity. - Each integral around a singularity equals $2\pi i$ times the residue at that singularity. 2. **Find the residue of $\frac{ze^{z}}{(z-1)^3}$ at its poles:** - The function has a pole of order 3 at $z=1$. - Residue at a pole of order $m$ is given by $$\text{Res}(f, z_0) = \frac{1}{(m-1)!} \lim_{z \to z_0} \frac{d^{m-1}}{dz^{m-1}} \left[(z-z_0)^m f(z)\right]$$ - Here, $m=3$, $z_0=1$, so $$\text{Res} = \frac{1}{2!} \lim_{z \to 1} \frac{d^2}{dz^2} \left[(z-1)^3 \frac{ze^z}{(z-1)^3}\right] = \frac{1}{2} \lim_{z \to 1} \frac{d^2}{dz^2} (ze^z)$$ - Compute derivatives: $$\frac{d}{dz}(ze^z) = e^z + ze^z = e^z(1+z)$$ $$\frac{d^2}{dz^2}(ze^z) = \frac{d}{dz}[e^z(1+z)] = e^z(1+z) + e^z = e^z(2+z)$$ - Evaluate at $z=1$: $$e^1 (2+1) = 3e$$ - Residue: $$\text{Res} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3e = \frac{3e}{2}$$ 3. **Find residues of $\frac{z^2 - 2z}{(z-1)^2 (z^2 + 1)}$:** - Poles at $z=1$ (order 2), $z=i$, and $z=-i$ (simple poles). - Residue at $z=1$ (order 2): $$\text{Res} = \lim_{z \to 1} \frac{d}{dz} \left[(z-1)^2 \frac{z^2 - 2z}{(z-1)^2 (z^2 + 1)}\right] = \lim_{z \to 1} \frac{d}{dz} \left(\frac{z^2 - 2z}{z^2 + 1}\right)$$ - Compute derivative: $$f(z) = \frac{z^2 - 2z}{z^2 + 1}$$ $$f'(z) = \frac{(2z - 2)(z^2 + 1) - (z^2 - 2z)(2z)}{(z^2 + 1)^2}$$ - Simplify numerator: $$(2z - 2)(z^2 + 1) - 2z(z^2 - 2z) = (2z - 2)(z^2 + 1) - 2z^3 + 4z^2$$ - Evaluate at $z=1$: $$(2(1) - 2)(1 + 1) - 2(1)^3 + 4(1)^2 = (0)(2) - 2 + 4 = 2$$ - Denominator at $z=1$: $$(1^2 + 1)^2 = (2)^2 = 4$$ - Residue at $z=1$: $$\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$$ - Residue at simple pole $z=i$: $$\text{Res} = \lim_{z \to i} (z - i) \frac{z^2 - 2z}{(z-1)^2 (z^2 + 1)}$$ - Factor denominator near $z=i$: $$z^2 + 1 = (z - i)(z + i)$$ - So, $$\text{Res} = \lim_{z \to i} \frac{z^2 - 2z}{(z-1)^2 (z + i)} = \frac{i^2 - 2i}{(i-1)^2 (i + i)} = \frac{-1 - 2i}{(i-1)^2 (2i)}$$ - Compute $(i-1)^2 = i^2 - 2i + 1 = -1 - 2i + 1 = -2i$ - So denominator: $$(-2i)(2i) = -4i^2 = -4(-1) = 4$$ - Numerator: $$-1 - 2i$$ - Residue: $$\frac{-1 - 2i}{4} = -\frac{1}{4} - \frac{i}{2}$$ - Residue at $z=-i$ similarly: $$\text{Res} = \lim_{z \to -i} \frac{z^2 - 2z}{(z-1)^2 (z - (-i))} = \frac{(-i)^2 - 2(-i)}{(-i - 1)^2 (-i + i)}$$ - Denominator factor near $z=-i$ is $(z + i)$, so factor is $(z - (-i)) = (z + i)$, so residue is $$\lim_{z \to -i} \frac{z^2 - 2z}{(z-1)^2 (z - i)}$$ - Evaluate numerator at $z=-i$: $$(-i)^2 - 2(-i) = -1 + 2i$$ - Denominator: $$( -i - 1)^2 (-i - i) = ( -i - 1)^2 (-2i)$$ - Compute $( -i - 1)^2 = (-1 - i)^2 = (-1)^2 + 2(-1)(-i) + (-i)^2 = 1 + 2i -1 = 2i$$ - Denominator: $$2i \times (-2i) = -4i^2 = 4$$ - Residue: $$\frac{-1 + 2i}{4} = -\frac{1}{4} + \frac{i}{2}$$ 4. **Show that $\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{d\theta}{a + b \sin \theta} = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}, a > b > 0$ using residue theorem:** - Use substitution $z = e^{i\theta}$, so $d\theta = \frac{dz}{iz}$ and $\sin \theta = \frac{z - z^{-1}}{2i}$. - Integral becomes a contour integral over unit circle: $$\oint \frac{1}{a + b \frac{z - z^{-1}}{2i}} \frac{dz}{iz} = \oint \frac{2}{2a i + b(z - z^{-1})} \frac{dz}{z}$$ - Simplify denominator and write as rational function in $z$. - Find poles inside unit circle and compute residues. - Sum residues and multiply by $2\pi i$ to get integral. - Result simplifies to $\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$. 5. **Use contour integration to prove $\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{d\theta}{1 + a^2 - 2a \cos \theta} = \frac{2 \pi a^2}{1 - a^2}, 0 < a < 1$:** - Use substitution $z = e^{i\theta}$, $\cos \theta = \frac{z + z^{-1}}{2}$. - Integral becomes contour integral over unit circle: $$\oint \frac{dz}{iz} \frac{1}{1 + a^2 - a(z + z^{-1})}$$ - Multiply numerator and denominator by $z$ to get rational function. - Find poles inside unit circle and compute residues. - Sum residues and multiply by $2\pi i$ to get integral. - Simplify to get $\frac{2 \pi a^2}{1 - a^2}$. 6. **Evaluate $\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{6 + 3 \cos \theta} d\theta$ using residue theorem:** - Use $\sin^2 \theta = \frac{1 - \cos 2\theta}{2}$. - Rewrite integral as sum of integrals involving $\cos \theta$ and $\cos 2\theta$. - Use substitution $z = e^{i\theta}$ and convert to contour integrals. - Compute residues at poles inside unit circle. - Sum residues and multiply by $2\pi i$ to get integral. 7. **Evaluate $\int_0^\infty \frac{dx}{x^6 + 1}$ using residue theorem:** - Consider contour integral over upper half-plane with large semicircle. - Poles are roots of $x^6 + 1 = 0$, i.e., $x = e^{i\pi(2k+1)/6}, k=0,...,5$. - Select poles in upper half-plane. - Compute residues at these poles. - Integral over real axis equals $2\pi i$ times sum of residues. - Use symmetry to get integral from 0 to $\infty$. 8. **Prove $\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{x^2 dx}{(x^2 + a^2)(x^2 + b^2)} = \frac{\pi}{a + b}, a > 0, b > 0, a \neq b$:** - Consider contour integral of $f(z) = \frac{z^2}{(z^2 + a^2)(z^2 + b^2)}$ over upper half-plane. - Poles at $z=ia$ and $z=ib$. - Compute residues at these poles. - Integral over real axis equals $2\pi i$ times sum of residues. - Evaluate residues and simplify to get $\frac{\pi}{a + b}$. **Final answers:** 2. Residue at $z=1$ is $\frac{3e}{2}$. 3. Residues: - At $z=1$: $\frac{1}{2}$ - At $z=i$: $-\frac{1}{4} - \frac{i}{2}$ - At $z=-i$: $-\frac{1}{4} + \frac{i}{2}$ 4. $\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{d\theta}{a + b \sin \theta} = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$ 5. $\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{d\theta}{1 + a^2 - 2a \cos \theta} = \frac{2 \pi a^2}{1 - a^2}$ 6.
