    TITLE Introduction to Contour Integration
    CURRENT READING Zill & Shanahan, §5.1 and §5.2;
    HOMEWORK Zill & Shanahan, §5.1 #6, 7, 8, 11, 27 20,33*; §5.2 # 2, 7, 10, 21, 22,29*
    SUMMARY
    We shall begin to consider integration of a compex function of a complex variable and do
    our very first contour integrals!
    Exercise
    First, let’s recall how to integrate complex functions of a real variable. Compute the follow-
    ing:
    Z 2 Z ∞
    −i 3 −z2 t
    (a) 2
    + (t + 2i) dt (b) e dt
    1 t 0

    Contour Integration
    Integration of a complex function of a complex variable is performed on a set of connected
    points from, say, z1 to z2. It is a contour integral. Given a contour C defined as z(t) for
    a ≤ t ≤ b where z1 = z(a) and z2 = z(b), an integral of a complex function of a complex
    variable f (z) is written as
    Z Z z2
    f (z) dz or f (z) dz
    C z1

    Let f (z) be piecewise continuous on z(t). If C is a contour then z 0(t) is piecewise continuous
    on a ≤ t ≤ b and we can redefine the integral of f (z) along C as:
    Z Z b
    f (z) dz = f [z(t)]z 0(t) dt
    C a

    EXAMPLEZ
    Compute Im z dz where C is a directed line segment from z = 2 to z = 2i

    Algorithm for Evlauting Contour Integrals


    (The steps to be taken to complete the process of contour integration)
    1: Write down a parametrization for the contour, z(t)
    2: Convert the integral into an integral in (real) t variables by finding an expression for the
    integrand: f (z(t))z 0(t)
    3: Integrate!

    Properties of Contour Integrals


    (i.e. Integrals of Complex Functions of a Complex Variable) Suppose the function
    f and g are continuous complex functions of a complex variable in a domain D and C is a
    (piecewise) smooth curve lying entire in D, then
    Z Z
    i. kf (z) dz = k f (z) dz where k ∈ C
    C C
    Z Z Z
    ii. [f (z) + g(z)] dz = f (z) dz + g(z) dz
    C C C
    Z Z Z
    iii. f (z) dz = f (z) dz + f (z) dz where C could be formed from joining C1 and
    C C1 C2
    C2 end to end.
    Z Z
    iv. f (z) dz = − f (z) dz where −C has the opposite orientation of C
    −C C

    The textbook Zill & Shanahan refers to these properties as Theoerem 5.2.2 (page 214).

    THEOREM: Bounding Theorem


    If f is a function of a complex variable that is continuous along a smooth curve C and if
    |f (z)| ≤ M for all z on C then Z
    f (z) dx ≤ ML
    C

    where L is the length of C.


    Evaluation of Contour Integrals
    Given f (z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y), we can write
    Z Z Z Z
    f (z) dz = [u + iv][dx + idy] = udx − vdy + i vdx + udy
    C C C C

    In other words, every complex contour integration can really be thought of as two line
    integrals in real variables involving the functions u(x, y) and v(x, y).
    Exercise Z
    Compute Im z dz where C is a contour consisting of the circular arc from z = 2 to z = 2i

    GroupWork
    Z
    Compute 2z 2 dz where C is a directed line segment from z = 2 to z = −2. (Sketch the
    C
    contour and evaluate the integral.)

    Z
    Also evaluate 2z 2 dz, this time using C being a counterclockwise circular arc from z = 2
    C
    to z = −2. (Sketch the contour and then evaluate the integral.)

    Z
    Also evaluate 2z 2 dz, this time using C being a clockwise circular arc from z = 2 to
    C
    z = −2. (Sketch the contour and then evaluate the integral.)

    Discussion Question
    Does the value of your contour integral depend on the contour (i.e. the path taken from
    (2,0) to (-2,0)?

    EXAMPLE
    Show that 
    I  2πi n = −1
    (z − z0)n dz =
    Cr 
    0 n 6= −1
    where n is any integer and Cr is a circle of radius r around z0 (what is the equation of such
    a shape?) traversed once in the counter-clockwise direction. How will our results change if
    we reverse the direction of travel along the contour (i.e. move in a clockwise direction)?

    ExerciseI
    1
    Evaluate dz where the contour is traversed once in a clockwise direction.
    |z|=1 z
