Then for all .
Let be a any set and any function. Let be a region with and a holomorphic function such that for . Then g is called an analytic continuation of to .
Let be open, and \ be holomorphic (i.e., has an isolated singularity at ).
If has a pole at , then in a neighborhood of that point there exist a non-vanishing holomorphic function and a unique positive integer such that
The integer is called the multiplicity or order of the pole of . If , we say that the pole is simple.

Question1

Question2
Let , find all singularities of . What kind of singularity are them?
Answer2
If has a pole of order at , then there exists a neighborhood of , numbers , ... , and a holomorphic function such that
for all .
Notice
G(z) is a holomorphic function in a neiborhood of , while is a holomorphic function in a neiborhood of .
But you cannot contain other poles inside such neiborhood, for G to be a analytic function.
is called the principal part of at the pole .
The coefficient of / is called the residue of f at the pole , written
Notice
One pole has exactly one residue.
So if a contour contains poles, it can find residues accordingly.
By direct expansion
By apply the theorem:
For a simple pole,
For a pole of order ,
In particular, for ,
Why does the theorem work?
Question
Find the residue of
Answer
Recall from slide 312, all has a primitive except for the case where .
A Tricky Question
Previously, we discuss about several theorems related to "whether a holomorphic function has primitives". And the most general one, Cauchy's Integral Theorem* says:
Let be an open subset of which is simply connected, let be a holomorphic function, for any closed curve in , the integral vanishes to 0.
For , ,... is there a contradiction to this theorem?
is a special case, and now we see:
For any contour whose interior contains only the pole at , by Cauthy's integral formula:
A Tricky Reminder
Again, why should the contour only contain only the pole ? What if you want to integrate along a contour containning several poles?
Suppose that is holomorphic in an open set containing a (positively oriented) toy contour and its interior, except for poles at the points , ... , inside . Then
Question4
How do we generalize the residue theorem from the simple case where only one pole is contained?
Answer4
How can we apply this theorem?
Calculate certain integral along certain contour in the complex plane; sometimes we use the result to help find the integration of some integrals in .
A Tricky Question
How do you compare the residue theorem with Cauchy Integral Formulas, which we can also use to find integrals?
Question5
Redo the integration of the below function using the Residue Theorem.
Where C is the circle with radius 3 and centered at the origin.
Answer5
The idea to define the complex logarithm can be traced back to the Cauthy's Integral Theorem...
The principal branch of the logarithm:
in which case
For brevity, we set:
We can also define other branches of the logarithm. Often, a convenient choice (especially for residue calculus) is
where and .
In general, for the principal branch of the logarithm, .
Extend the real domain to complex domain
Find poles for the function
Decide the countour and the branch if needed
Calculate the residue for poles in the countour
Apply residue theorem (or Cauchy’s theorem)
Except for the integral part we need, solve or vanish other parts one by one
Assume that for some the function isholomorphic. Let
Let

Answer8
Let and be polynomials of degree and , respectively, where . If for , if has a zero of order at most 1 at the origin and if
then
where are the nonzero poles of .
This method first comes up without solid proof of its correctness, but just with an idea that maybe you can perform "differentiation" by "multiplying a number".
Write the differential operator as .
We are assuming that all functions we consider are zero for , otherwise we multiply with . In particular,
But this basic method might fail in some cases. For example the final solution you get does not converge. So we want to consider the idea behind the Heaviside Operator Method more intuitively.
Understand the graph...
A Tricky Question
Is the here the same as the which is defined previously?
A Tricky Question
What transformations, or operations do we still need to find explicitly in this graph?
We define a transformation , together with an operation , where we want {} to satisfy:
Then actually automatically the following properpies hold:
Let be an analytic function, so
With the property (why?), further we have
Recall the definition of the Euler gamma function
Which has the property that . Then
This is the conclusion. Which further gives us an interesting explicit formular for . From
And by definition , we obtain
Here, a new possible method for you to solve differential equations has come up.
First transform and the differential equation related to it, to another different function and an easier equation about ,
Second solve ,
Finally transform back to .
