Integral of the reciprocal of a complex polynomial [duplicate]












0















This question already has an answer here:




  • Proof that $frac {1} {2pi i} oint frac {{rm d}z} {P(z)} $ over a closed curve is zero.

    2 answers




For a polynomial P(z) of degree $ngeq2$, show that there exists some $R_{1}>0$ such that for $R>R_{1}$ it holds that:
$$int_{C_{R}}frac{1}{P(z)}dz=0$$ where $C_{R}$ is a circle of radius R with the centre $0$.



I am already aware of the fact that $$lim_{Rto infty}int_{C_{R}}frac{1}{P(z)}dz=0$$ and how to go about proving it but I'm not sure how to evaluate the first integral written above without using any limit. Would I maybe use a similar approach as was used to show the latter integral?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.















  • Yes, I apologise if it is. I made a lot of research before I posted this question but I found nothing that was smiliar + simple enough for me to understand. Sorry!

If $R$ and $S$ are greater than the absolute value of every root of $P$, then, by Cauchy's theorem$$oint_{C_R}frac1{P(z)},mathrm dz=oint_{C_S}frac1{P(z)},mathrm dz.$$This, together with the fact that that limit that you mentioned is $0$; is enogh to prove that $oint_{C_R}frac1{P(z)},mathrm dz$ is $0$ if $R$ is large enough.

  • Would 'If R and S are greater than the absolute value of every root of P' be another way of saying that all roots of P are contained in R and S? I'm confident the answer is yes but I'd like to be certain
