complex analysis - Given f(z)=intgammafracsinzeta+eizeta(zetaz)2dzeta, find f(fracpi4) if gamma is the unit circle



Question: Assume that γ is the positively oriented unit circle |z|=1 in C. Let



f(z)=γsinζ+eiζ(ζz)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)=22πiγsinζ+eiζ(ζz)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}}
