Showing integral on contour tends to zero

110 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to prove:

$$\int \frac{e^{t(z+\frac{1}{z})}}{z^2} = \sum_0 ^{\infty} b_m t^{2m+1}$$

Where the integral is over a contour centre the origin, radius R, and the $b_m$ are some coefficients.

Now I can obtain these coefficients by considering the resiude at $z=0$ and multiplying the power series for $e^{tz}$ and $e^{t/z}$ however I am now having difficulty in showing that as $R \to \infty$ the integral around the contour tends to zero, any hints on this would be great.

Thanks
