Problem Statement

In the following, zz is a complex number and ii is the imaginary unit. Consider the complex functionf(z)=cotzz2,f(z) = \frac{\cot z}{z^2},where cotz=1tanz\cot z = \dfrac{1}{\tan z}. For a positive integer mm, defineDm=limz0dmdzm(zcotz).D_m = \lim_{z\to 0} \frac{d^m}{dz^m}(z \cot z).If necessary, you may use D2=23D_2 = -\dfrac{2}{3} andlimznπznπsinz=(1)nfor any integer n.\lim_{z\to n\pi} \frac{z - n\pi}{\sin z} = (-1)^n\quad\text{for any integer } n.

  • [I.] Find all poles of f(z)f(z). Also, find the order of each pole.
  • [II.] Find the residue of each pole found in I.
  • [III.] Let MM be a positive integer and set R=π(2M+1)R = \pi(2M+1). For each real parameter tt with R2tR2-\dfrac{R}{2} \le t \le \dfrac{R}{2}, consider the four line segments \begin{align*} C_1:\ & z(t) = \frac{R}{2} + it, \\ C_2:\ & z(t) = -t + i\frac{R}{2}, \\ C_3:\ & z(t) = -\frac{R}{2} - it, \\ C_4:\ & z(t) = t - i\frac{R}{2}. \end{align*} These four oriented segments form the boundary of a square centered at the origin, traversed counterclockwise. For each complex integral Ik=Ckf(z)dzI_k = \displaystyle\int_{C_k} f(z)\,dz along CkC_k (k=1,2,3,4k = 1,2,3,4), find limMIk\displaystyle\lim_{M\to\infty} I_k.
  • [IV.] Let CC be the closed loop composed of the four line segments C1,C2,C3C_1, C_2, C_3, and C4C_4 in III. By applying the residue theorem to the complex integral I=Cf(z)dz, I = \oint_C f(z)\,dz, find the value of the infinite series n=11n2. \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2}.
  • [V.] Now replace f(z)f(z) by the complex function g(z)=cotzz2N, g(z) = \frac{\cot z}{z^{2N}}, where NN is a positive integer. By following the same contour method as in I–IV, express the infinite series n=11n2N \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2N}} in terms of DmD_m. Finally, let pp be the order of the pole of f(z)f(z) at z=0z=0 (from I), and let rr be the residue of f(z)f(z) at z=0z=0 (from II). Let S2S_2 denote the value of n=11n2\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} obtained in IV. From the expression in V, let TT be the value of n=11n2\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} obtained by setting N=1N=1 in your general formula.Compute the integerK=999(p21)(3r)(D2)S2T.\mathcal{K}= 999\,(p^2 - 1)\,(-3r)\,(-D_2)\,\frac{S_2}{T}.\

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] I will use the known behavior of cot(z) near 0 and the given information to get:

  • Order of pole p at z=0 for f(z)=cot(z)/z^2.
  • Residue r at z=0.
  • S2 = sum_{n=1}^\infty 1/n^2 from the contour method equals π²/6.
  • The general formula in part V must specialize to the same value when N=1, so T = S2 and S2/T = 1.

Then I will compute K = 999 * (p^2 - 1) * (-3r) * (-D2) * (S2/T) using Python with exact rational arithmetic. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] from fractions import Fraction import sympy as sp

Determine p and r via series expansion of cot(z)

z = sp.symbols('z') cot_z_series = sp.cot(z).series(z, 0, 7) # up to z^5 term cot_z_series

From the known expansion: cot z = 1/z - z/3 - z**3/45 - ...

f(z) = cot(z)/z2 => 1/z3 - 1/(3*z) - ...

So:

p = 3 # order of pole at z=0 r = Fraction(-1, 3) # residue at z=0

Given D2:

D2 = Fraction(-2, 3)

From contour method and standard result:

S2 = sum 1/n^2 = π^2 / 6

S2 = sp.pi**2 / 6

From the general expression in part V, setting N=1 must give the same series,

so T = S2 and S2/T = 1.

T = S2

Compute K exactly using fractions (S2/T = 1)

ratio = sp.simplify(S2 / T) # should be 1 K = 999 * (p**2 - 1) * (-3*r) * (-D2) * ratio print("p =", p) print("r =", r) print("D2 =", D2) print("S2/T =", ratio) print("K (exact) =", sp.simplify(K)) [/PYTHON]

Tool Output
[PYTHON OUTPUT] p = 3 r = -1/3 D2 = -2/3 S2/T = 1 K (exact) = 5328 [/PYTHON OUTPUT]
Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] Using the verified Python output, the computed integer value of (\mathcal{K}) is 5328. [ \boxed{5328} ]
