I=∫Cz(sinhz)2 dz
where C is the circle |z−iπ|=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)=limz→iπddzz(sinhz)2(z−iπ)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(z−πi+πi)=−sinh(z−πi)=−(z−πi)−(z−πi)33!−(z−πi)55!+⋯,
we havesinh2(z)=(z−πi)2+(z−πi)43+2(z−πi)645+⋯
Therefore,zsinh2(z)=1(z−πi)2(a0+a1(z−πi)+a2(z−πi)2+⋯),
which means thatz=πi+(z−πi)==(a0+a1(z−πi)+a2(z−πi)2+⋯)(1+(z−πi)23+2(z−πi)445+⋯).
Therefore, a1=1, which means that the residue is 1.
