Cauchy–Goursat Theorem
In mathematics, the Cauchy integral theorem (also known as the Cauchy–Goursat theorem) in complex analysis, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy (and Édouard Goursat), is an important statement about line integrals for holomorphic functions in the complex plane. Essentially, it says that if f(z) is holomorphic in a simply connected domain Ω, then for any simply closed contour C in Ω, that contour integral is zero. \int_C f(z)\,dz = 0. Statement Fundamental theorem for complex line integrals If is a holomorphic function on an open region , and \gamma is a curve in from z_0 to z_1 then, \int_f'(z) \, dz = f(z_1)-f(z_0). Also, when has a single-valued antiderivative in an open region , then the path integral \int_f'(z) \, dz is path independent for all paths in . Formulation on simply connected regions Let U \subseteq \Complex be a simply connected open set, and let f: U \to \Complex be a holomorphic function. Let \gamma: ,b\to U be a smooth closed curve. Then: \in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mathematics Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition |
