Question: Assume that γ is the positively oriented unit circle |z|=1 in C. Let
f(z)=∫γsinζ+eiζ(ζ−z)2dζ
Find f′(π4).
Comments: This is a problem from an old exam in complex analysis. I have not found similar problems in my textbook so I would be grateful if someone could show me how to solve it (is it a "Dirichlet problem"?). I am studying for an exam and I would like to know how to deal with this problem type. All input appreciated.
Answer
Define g(z)=sinz+eiz. Then g(z) is analytic in a neighborhood of {|z|≤1}, so by Cauchy's integral formula:
g′(z)=22πi∫γsinζ+eiζ(ζ−z)2dζ
From this, we see that the f(z) in the problem statement is πig′(z). Now differentiate g(z)=sinz+eiz twice to get an expression for f′(z):
f′(z)=πig″
f'\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\pi i g''\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\pi i \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-e^{i\pi/4}\right)=\frac{\pi-2i}{\sqrt{2}}
