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] Compute the pole order p and residue r of f(z)=cot(z)/z^2 at z=0 via series/residue. Then use D2=-2/3, S2=π^2/6 from the contour method, and verify that the general formula in V (with N=1) gives the same value T, so S2/T=1. Finally evaluate K. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] import sympy as sp

z=sp.Symbol('z') f=sp.cot(z)/z**2

pole order at 0: smallest k s.t. limit z^k f finite nonzero

for k in range(1,8): val = sp.limit(z**k * f, z, 0) if val.is_finite and val != 0: print("k",k,"limit",sp.simplify(val)) break

residue at 0

r = sp.residue(f, z, 0) print("residue r:", sp.simplify(r))

confirm residue at npi for n!=0 is 1/(npi)^2

n=sp.Symbol('n', integer=True, nonzero=True) res_n = sp.residue(f, z, sp.pin) print("residue at npi:", sp.simplify(res_n))

values for K

p=3 D2 = sp.Rational(-2,3) S2 = sp.pi**2/6

From general formula for sum_{n>=1}1/n^(2N): when N=1, it must match S2

T=S2 K = 999*(p**2-1)(-3r)(-D2)(S2/T) print("K:", sp.simplify(K)) print("K integer:", int(sp.simplify(K))) [/PYTHON]

Tool Output
[PYTHON OUTPUT] k 3 limit 1 residue r: -1/3 residue at n*pi: 1/(pi**2*n**2) K: 5328 K integer: 5328 [/PYTHON OUTPUT]
Reasoning Process
