Compute $int_{|z|=R} frac{|dz|}{|z-a|^4}$ when $R>0, |a|neq R$












0












$begingroup$


I want to compute $int_{|z|=R} frac{|dz|}{|z-a|^4}$ when $R>0, |a|neq R$.
I did so by parametrizing the circle, but this way required many pages of tedious calculations.



Do you have a more straightforward way to do it?



Let me mention that my issue here is that we integrate by $|dz|$ not by $dz$, so all the known theorems I know fail to be applied -at least in this form of the integral.



Thanks

            I just assumed the absolute value sign was meant to be around the function. I don't think I've specifically dealt with a case you're talking about, because I tried googling it, and |dz| turns out to be some kind of arc length.

          After parametrising $z= R e^{itheta}$ and after a lot of simplifications you will get
          $$I = int_{0}^{2pi} dtheta frac{R}{[(Rcostheta-Re(a))^2+(Rsintheta-Im(a))^2]^2_{}}.$$
          To proceed further : go back to complex variable $Z = e^{itheta}$, rewrite it in terms of $costheta=frac{1}{2}(z+frac{1}{z})$ and $sintheta=frac{1}{2i}(z-frac{1}{z})$. The resulting integral can be evaluated using complex integration methods.
