Definition: the Residue Res(F, C) of a Function F(Z) at C Is the Coefficient of (Z − C)−1 in the Laurent Series Expansion of F at C Definition: The residue Res(f, c) of a function f(z) at c is the coefficient of (z − c)−1 in the Laurent series expansion of f at c. Computation: To compute Res(f, c) , consider (z‐c)f(z) =: g(z) = g(c) + … +(z‐c)ng(n)(c)/n! +… . ‐1 n‐1 (n) Then f(z)=(z‐c) g(c) + … + (z‐c) g (c)/n! . Thus Res(f, c) = g(c) = (z‐c)f(z)|z=c . If f is analytical in a neighborhood of c, then Res(f, c) = (z‐c)f(z)|z=c = 0. The converse is not generally true. At a simple pole c, the residue of f is given by: More generally, if c is a pole of order n, then f(z)=h(z)/(z‐c)n, and so Res(f, c) is given by: n n‐1 (n‐1) n (n‐1) (z‐c)f(z)|z=c = (z‐c) h(z)/(z‐c) |z=c = h(z)/(z‐c) |z=c = h (z)/(n‐1)!|z=c =[(z‐c) f(z)] / (n‐1)!|z=c , where the 3rd equality is obtained by differentiating the numerator and denominator (n‐1) times. In other words, if c is a pole of order n, then residue of f at c can be determined by the formula: This formula can be very useful in determining the residues for low‐order poles. For higher order poles, the calculations can become unmanageable, and a direct series expansion may be easier. Application: According to residue theorem: th Here, γ is a closed‐curve, and I(γ, ak) counts the number of times γ winds around ak (k point inside the closed‐curve γ where f is not analytic) in a counter‐clockwise manner. Since residues can be computed quite easily (as discussed above), they can be used to easily determine a contour integral via the above residue theorem. As an example, the above theorem is used in deriving the Nyquist criterion for stability (#RHP poles of closed‐loop = #RHP poles of open‐loop + #encirclements of (‐1,0) by plot of open‐loop freq.‐response). The residue theorem and its applications Oliver Knill Caltech, 1996 This text contains some notes to a three hour lecture in complex analysis given at Caltech. The lectures start from scratch and contain an essentially self-contained proof of the Jordan normal form theorem, I had learned from Eugene Trubowitz as an undergraduate at ETH Z¨urich in the third semester of the standard calculus education at that school. My text also includes two proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra using complex analysis and examples, which examples showing how residue calculus can help to calculate some definite integrals. Except for the proof of the normal form theorem, the material is contained in standard text books on complex analysis. The notes assume familiarity with partial derivatives and line integrals. I use Trubowitz approach to use Greens theorem to prove Cauchy’s theorem. [ When I had been an undergraduate, such a direct multivariable link was not in my complex analysis text books (Ahlfors for example does not mention Greens theorem in his book).] For the Jordan form section, some linear algebra knowledge is required. 1 The residue theorem Definition Let D C be open (every point in D has a small disc around it which still is in D). Denote by C1(D) the differentiable⊂ functions D C.

    MATH 305 Complex Analysis, Spring 2016 Using Residues to Evaluate Improper Integrals Worksheet for Sections 78 and 79 One of the interesting applications of Cauchy's Residue Theorem is to find exact values of real improper integrals. The idea is to integrate a complex rational function around a closed contour C that can be arbitrarily large. As the size of the contour becomes infinite, the piece in the complex plane (typically an arc of a circle) contributes 0 to the integral, while the part remaining covers the entire real axis (e.g., an improper integral from −∞ to 1). An Example Let us use residues to derive the formula p Z 1 x2 2 π 4 dx = : (1) 0 x + 1 4 Note the somewhat surprising appearance of π for the value of this integral. z2 First, let f(z) = and let C = L + C be the contour that consists of the line segment L z4 + 1 R R R on the real axis from −R to R, followed by the semi-circle CR of radius R traversed CCW (see figure below). Note that C is a positively oriented, simple, closed contour. We will assume that R > 1. Next, notice that f(z) has two singular points (simple poles) inside C. Call them z0 and z1, as shown in the figure. By Cauchy's Residue Theorem. we have I f(z) dz = 2πi Res f(z) + Res f(z) C z=z0 z=z1 On the other hand, we can parametrize the line segment LR by z = x; −R ≤ x ≤ R, so that I Z R x2 Z z2 f(z) dz = 4 dx + 4 dz; C −R x + 1 CR z + 1 since C = LR + CR.

  • Rotation and Winding Numbers for Planar Polygons and Curves
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 322, Number I, November 1990 ROTATION AND WINDING NUMBERS FOR PLANAR POLYGONS AND CURVES BRANKO GRUNBAUM AND G. C. SHEPHARD ABSTRACT. The winding and rotation numbers for closed plane polygons and curves appear in various contexts. Here alternative definitions are presented, and relations between these characteristics and several other integer-valued func- tions are investigated. In particular, a point-dependent "tangent number" is defined, and it is shown that the sum of the winding and tangent numbers is independent of the point with respect to which they are taken, and equals the rotation number. 1. INTRODUCTION Associated with every planar polygon P (or, more generally, with certain kinds of closed curves in the plane) are several numerical quantities that take only integer values. The best known of these are the rotation number of P (also called the "tangent winding number") of P and the winding number of P with respect to a point in the plane. The rotation number was introduced for smooth curves by Whitney [1936], but for polygons it had been defined some seventy years earlier by Wiener [1865]. The winding numbers of polygons also have a long history, having been discussed at least since Meister [1769] and, in particular, Mobius [1865]. However, there seems to exist no literature connecting these two concepts. In fact, so far we are aware, there is no instance in which both are mentioned in the same context. In the present note we shall show that there exist interesting alternative defi- nitions of the rotation number, as well as various relations between the rotation numbers of polygons, winding numbers with respect to given points, and several other integer-valued functions that depend on the embedding of the polygons in the plane.

  • A Formal Proof of Cauchy's Residue Theorem
    A Formal Proof of Cauchy's Residue Theorem Wenda Li and Lawrence C. Paulson Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge fwl302,[email protected] Abstract. We present a formalization of Cauchy's residue theorem and two of its corollaries: the argument principle and Rouch´e'stheorem. These results have applications to verify algorithms in computer alge- bra and demonstrate Isabelle/HOL's complex analysis library. 1 Introduction Cauchy's residue theorem | along with its immediate consequences, the ar- gument principle and Rouch´e'stheorem | are important results for reasoning about isolated singularities and zeros of holomorphic functions in complex anal- ysis. They are described in almost every textbook in complex analysis [3, 15, 16]. Our main motivation of this formalization is to certify the standard quantifier elimination procedure for real arithmetic: cylindrical algebraic decomposition [4]. Rouch´e'stheorem can be used to verify a key step of this procedure: Collins' projection operation [8]. Moreover, Cauchy's residue theorem can be used to evaluate improper integrals like Z 1 itz e −|tj 2 dz = πe −∞ z + 1 Our main contribution1 is two-fold: { Our machine-assisted formalization of Cauchy's residue theorem and two of its corollaries is new, as far as we know. { This paper also illustrates the second author's achievement of porting major analytic results, such as Cauchy's integral theorem and Cauchy's integral formula, from HOL Light [12]. The paper begins with some background on complex analysis (Sect. 2), fol- lowed by a proof of the residue theorem, then the argument principle and Rouch´e'stheorem (3{5).

We demon- strate that their topological properties may be read out through the long time limit of a bulk observable, the mean chiral displacement. The derivation of this result is done in terms of spectral projectors, allowing for a detailed understanding of the physics. We show that the proposed detec- tion converges rapidly and it can be implemented in a wide class of chiral systems. Furthermore, it can measure arbitrary winding numbers and topological boundaries, it applies to all non-interacting systems, independently of their quantum statistics, and it requires no additional elements, such as external fields, nor filled bands. Topological phases of matter constitute a new paradigm by escaping the standard Ginzburg-Landau theory of phase transitions. These exotic phases appear without any symmetry breaking and are not characterized by a local order parameter, but rather by a global topological order. In the last decade, topological insulators have attracted much interest [1].

  • Residue Thry
    17 Residue Theory “Residue theory” is basically a theory for computing integrals by looking at certain terms in the Laurent series of the integrated functions about appropriate points on the complex plane. We will develop the basic theorem by applying the Cauchy integral theorem and the Cauchy integral formulas along with Laurent series expansions of functions about the singular points. We will then apply it to compute many, many integrals that cannot be easily evaluated otherwise. Most of these integrals will be over subintervals of the real line. 17.1 Basic Residue Theory The Residue Theorem Suppose f is a function that, except for isolated singularities, is single-valued and analytic on some simply-connected region R . Our initial interest is in evaluating the integral f (z) dz . C I 0 where C0 is a circle centered at a point z0 at which f may have a pole or essential singularity. We will assume the radius of C0 is small enough that no other singularity of f is on or enclosed by this circle. As usual, we also assume C0 is oriented counterclockwise. In the region right around z0 , we can express f (z) as a Laurent series ∞ k f (z) ak (z z0) , = − k =−∞X and, as noted earlier somewhere, this series converges uniformly in a region containing C0 . So ∞ k ∞ k f (z) dz ak (z z0) dz ak (z z0) dz . C = C − = C − 0 0 k k 0 I I =−∞X =−∞X I But we’ve seen k (z z0) dz for k 0, 1, 2, 3,..
