    For those who are unsatisfied with the explanation at around 15:20, here is an alternative way to evaluate the integral over Gamma, which requires further estimations.

      @@qncubed3 I know I'm very late, but suppose there was a closed form for from a>0 to infinity. This would mean you could express the integral from 0 to a in closed from as pi/2 - (integral from a to infinity) . But this would imply that the primitive for sinx/x can be expressed in closed form, which is a contradiction, so a closed form for the integral from a>0 to infinity cannot possibly be expressed in closed form , right?

    What im most interested in is
    Issue 1 - How do you convert from a real function to a corresponding complex function?
    Here you changed sin(x) to e^iz
    and I do not see why.
    And you dropped the “2” in front of the real part when converting to complex
    Issue 2 - How do you select the best contour geometry for a given complex integral?
    You chose a semicircle although there are many other shapes

    • @taterpun6211
      @taterpun6211 Рік тому +8

      The integral was not equal to the contour, but rather the contour produces the integral when adding two integrals from the contour lying on the real axis. Although, due to Euler's formula, e^ix = cosx + isinx, so taking the imaginary part would equal sinx.
      Semicircles are convenient for contours, as e^ix produces values on the unit circle plotted on the real and imaginary axis. That's why he parameterized the contour integrals on the circular path with re^ix, where r is the radius of the circle.
      To select the "best" contour geometry, it's a good idea to use the simplest integrals that would create a closed contour while avoiding problems like singularities on the contour or branch cuts. For example, to evaluate the desired integral, you need a contour that produces integrals from -infinity to infinity. However, a singularity at zero means we can not use one integral that goes from -infinity to infinity. Instead, we can go from an arbitrarily large negative number to an arbitrarily small negative number, then form a path that goes around zero, to an integral from small to big positive numbers. A circular path of a small radius would be a good choice. To close the contour, we need to make a path that connects the ends of our current contour, where a circular path would also work.

    lets say epsilon be r to reduce words
    at 10:35 integ [ exp(i r exp (i * t)) ] ~ 1/r (1 - exp(- r * constant)) when r goes to 0, this results in 0/0 and, this was the same as the jordan thing. or he could have done the same just to apply R going to infinity BEFORE the integration, but he didnt. but ok the limit goes to ~ r const / 1 = 0

    • @qncubed3

      Yes, in general, you cannot exchange limits and integrals, and you would need to use the dominated convergence theorem (or other tests) to justify that.

    Hello I’m so confused with this one concept. I’m sure if a singularity lies ON or is enclosed by a contour then the answer is the sum of the residues, so I don’t understand why we need to take a detour around the origin. Why can’t we let it lie on the semi circle?

    • @qncubed3
      @qncubed3  4 роки тому +4

      I believe Cauchy's residue theorem only applies if all singularities lie within the interior of a contour. Generally, you would want to avoid integrating over these singularities anyways. Since the singularity at the origin is "obstructing" the direct path from -R to R, we must then take a detour.
      You can the detour above or below the origin, the final result will be the same. If you take the path below, you will need to use Cauchy's residue theorem. I chose to take the upper semicircle as it just saves you a step and you can use the fact that the contour will evaluate to zero instead. Hope that helped :)

    • @ZainAGhani
      @ZainAGhani 4 роки тому +1

    • @qncubed3
      @qncubed3  4 роки тому +3

      The integrand is sin(x)/x . If we want to convert this to a complex function, we simply accept complex numbers as inputs. So we have sin(z)/z . However, it is generally nicer to work with the complex exponential function in place of sines and cosines (because we can use euler's formula to obtain the sine function again) This is how we get e^(iz)/z as our complex function.

AND there is NO such as NEGATIVE R in complex, so using -R or -x is same as saying someone probably skipped the logic somewhere and became a hand waving method. yes -R is R with theta = pi in disguise. hope and need to see how mathematicians handle angle changes in a contour line

      I assume you are talking about the integral over the upper semicircle.
      What I did was I found an upper bound for the absolute value of the integral using some inequalities. This gave me another integral which included the parameter "R". In the limit as R approaches infinity, the exponential term in the integral tends towards zero, hence evaluating the limit gives 0. Since the absolute value of the integral is less than or equal to zero, the integral must be zero itself in the limit (the absolute value can only be positive)
