More concepts to explore

  • Cauchy integral formula

    Contour values determine interior values and derivatives of a holomorphic function under the contour hypotheses.

  • Complex numbers

    A complex number has real and imaginary parts and is represented on the complex plane.

  • Residue theorem

    A contour integral equals two pi i times enclosed residues under the theorem's hypotheses.

  • Residues

    The coefficient of power minus one in a Laurent expansion controls a local contour integral.

  • Analytic continuation

    Compatible holomorphic functions extend an analytic function to larger connected regions.
