1. For each of the following functions, determine if the indicated point is regular, an essential singularity, or a pole, and if it is a pole state what order it is.
2.
Calculate
by completing it with the usual semi-circle in upper (or lower) half of the complex plane. We know that the integral along the semi-circle vanishes as the radius of the circle goes to infinity, as discussed in the text.
There are 4 poles at with . In the upper half plane there are two poles at .
Applying the residue theorem:
Residues most easily calculated using the derivative trick (Boas Chapter 14, eqn. (6.2)) where we differentiate denominator. That gives the residue of the function . But at all poles so this is then . Therefore integral equals
3. The same as Boas Chapter 13 section 3, except with a different initial condition and diffusion coefficient . So (a) through (d) are identical to the text. However for (e) instead of a linear temperature ramp, it is at uniform temperature . So we need to do Fourier series for that case instead. Boas does this in Chapter 13 Eqn (2.11).
