Contour Integration
Contour integration is the process of calculating the values of a contour integral around a given contour in the complex plane. As a result of a truly amazing property of holomorphic functions, such integrals can be computed easily simply by summing the values of the complex residues inside the contour.

Let
and
be polynomials of polynomial degree
and
with coefficients
, ...,
and
, ...,
. Take the contour in the upper half-plane, replace
by
, and write
. Then

Define a path
which is straight along the real axis from
to
and make a circular half-arc to connect the two ends in the upper half of the complex plane. The residue theorem then gives
where
denotes the complex residues. Solving,
![lim_(R->infty)int_(-R)^R(P(z)dz)/(Q(z))=2piisum_(I[z]>0)Res(P(z))/(Q(z))-lim_(R->infty)int_0^pi(P(Re^(itheta)))/(Q(Re^(itheta)))iRe^(itheta)dtheta.](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/ContourIntegration/NumberedEquation2.gif) |

then equation (9) becomes

for
. That means that for
, or
,
, so
![int_(-infty)^infty(P(z)dz)/(Q(z))=2piisum_(I[z]>0)Res[(P(z))/(Q(z))]](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/ContourIntegration/NumberedEquation6.gif) |

for
. Apply Jordan's lemma with
. We must have
 |
(14)
|
so we require
.
Then
![int_(-infty)^infty(P(z))/(Q(z))e^(iaz)dz=2piisum_(I[z]>0)Res[(P(z))/(Q(z))e^(iaz)]](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/ContourIntegration/NumberedEquation8.gif) |

for
and
. Since this must hold separately for real and imaginary parts, this result can be extended to
{sum_(I[z]>0)Res[(P(z))/(Q(z))e^(iaz)]} " src="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/ContourIntegration/NumberedEquation9.gif" style="height:47px; width:307px" /> |
