complex analysis - Calculating this integral using Residue Theorem



I=Cz(sinhz)2 dz


where C is the circle |ziπ|=1 taken once anti-clockwise.




I found that the only singularity of f(z):=z(sinhz)2 is z=iπ which is a pole of order 2.



So then by Residue Theorem,
I=2πiRes(f,iπ).


However, I'm unsure if there's a nice way to calculate this residue:
Res(f,iπ)=limziπddzz(sinhz)2(ziπ)2



Is there a trick for this integral? Or does the residue calculation simplify nicely? I feel like I'd have to apply L'Hopital's a couple of times.


Answer



Sincesinh(z)=sinh(zπi+πi)=sinh(zπi)=(zπi)(zπi)33!(zπi)55!+,

we havesinh2(z)=(zπi)2+(zπi)43+2(zπi)645+
Therefore,zsinh2(z)=1(zπi)2(a0+a1(zπi)+a2(zπi)2+),
which means thatz=πi+(zπi)==(a0+a1(zπi)+a2(zπi)2+)(1+(zπi)23+2(zπi)445+).
Therefore, a1=1, which means that the residue is 1.
