Evaluate this integral without using the residue theorem

521 Views Asked by At

I want to evaluate this integral

$$ I = \int_c \tan z + \frac{\csc z}{z} dz $$ $$ c :|z| = 1 $$

apparently tanz is analytic in this region so its integral equals to zero now $$ I = \int_c\frac{\csc z}{z} dz $$ okay I did the following

$$ \frac{\csc z}{z} = \frac{1}{z\sin z} =\frac{1}{z(z-\frac{z^3}{3!}+\frac{z^5}{5!}-\cdots)} $$

$$ \frac{\csc z}{z} = \frac{1}{z^2(1-\frac{z^2}{3!}+\frac{z^4}{5!}-\cdots)} $$

letting $$ g(z) = \frac{1}{(1-\frac{z^2}{3!}+\frac{z^4}{5!}-\cdots)} $$ then

$$ \frac{\csc z}{z} = \frac{g(z)}{z^2} $$

$$ I = \int_c\frac{\csc z}{z} dz = \int_c\frac{g(z)}{z^2} dz $$

using cauchy's integral formula for derivatives $$ \int_c\frac{g(z)}{z^2} dz = \frac{2\pi i }{1!} g'(0) $$

well $$ g'(0) = 0 $$ and the whole integral equals to zero this means the function is analytic which doesn't seem to be true did I make a mistake?

First of all, $\tan$ is only analytic away from its poles, but there aren't any inside the unit circle. Second, you would need to know $\int_C g(z)\,dz=0$ with $g$ continuous and for all circles $C$ to conclude $g$ is analytic.

One shortcut for you: $(\csc z)/z$ is an even function, so, without computation, its residue at $0$ must be $0$.
