Two different results with residue calculus for the integral $int_{0}^{2pi}frac{cos(3x)}{5-4cos(x)}dx$. What...

$begingroup$


So I have to evaluate the following integral :$$int_{0}^{2pi}frac{cos(3x)}{5-4cos(x)}dx$$ So I solve as usual with the residue theorem and by using $cos(3x)= Re(e^{3ix})$, $cos(x)=frac{e^{ix}+e^{-ix}}{2}$ and $z=e^{ix}$, but then I have some troubles evaluating the residues. I get as poles 2 and $frac{1}{2}$ where only $frac{1}{2}$ is in our domain (circle of radius 1).



When I calculate the residue using $frac{g(z)}{f'(z)}$, I get $frac{frac{1}{2^3}}{5-2}=frac{1}{24}$ (I put the i outside, that's not the problem here) but when I use $lim_{z to frac{1}{2}} (z-frac{1}{2})frac{z^3}{-(z-2)(z-frac{1}{2})}$, I get $frac{1}{12}$ so that when I multiply by $2 pi $ (again the i is not the problem here), I get $frac{pi}{6}$. WolframAlpha gets $frac{pi}{12}=2pi *frac{1}{24}$ so my second way of finding the residue ($frac{1}{12}$-->$frac{pi}{6}$) seems to be wrong. My question is, what did I do wrong ?

Well, you arrived at: $$I=int_{|z|=1}frac{z^3}{5-4left(frac{z+ z^{-1}}{2}right)}frac{dz}{iz}$$
With some algebra the integral reduces to : $$int_{|z|=1}frac{z^3}{5z-2(z^2+1)}frac{dz}{i}=frac{1}{i}int_{|z|=1}frac{z^3}{-2z^2+5z-2}dz=$$
$$=frac{1}{i}int_{|z|=1}frac{z^3}{-(z-2)(2z-1)}dz=frac{1}{2i}int_{|z|=1}frac{z^3}{-(z-2)(z-tfrac12)}dz$$
Now here you can see that when you factored that denominator you forgot that additional $frac12$ and everything should be fine now.

    In general I preffer to have the coefficient of $z^2$ to be $1$. Here is an alternative to find the factorization: $$-2z^2+5z-2=-frac{1}{2}((2z)^2-5(2z)+4)$$ Now I denote $(2z)=y$ $$-frac{1}{2}(y^2-5y+4)=-frac12 (y^2-y-4y+4)=-frac12 y(y-1)-4(y-1)=-frac12(y-4)(y-1)$$ Now returing to $z$ we have: $$-frac12(2z-4)(2z-1)=-2(2z-1)(z-frac12)$$

Starting with a geometric series:
$$frac{1}{2-e^{ix}} = sum_{ngeq 0}frac{1}{2^{n+1}}e^{nix}$$
we may consider the product between this series and its conjugate:



$$begin{eqnarray*}frac{1}{5-4cos x}&=&sum_{m,ngeq 0}frac{1}{2^{m+n+2}}e^{(n-m)ix}\&=&frac{1}{3}+sum_{n>mgeq 0}frac{1}{2^{m+n+1}}cos((n-m)x)\&=&frac{1}{3}+sum_{dgeq 1}cos(dx)sum_{mgeq 0}frac{1}{2^{2m+d+1}}\&=&frac{1}{3}+sum_{dgeq 1}frac{cos(dx)}{2^d}sum_{mgeq 0}frac{1}{2^{2m+1}}\&=&frac{1}{3}+frac{2}{3}sum_{dgeq 1}frac{cos(dx)}{2^d}end{eqnarray*} $$
to get the whole Fourier cosine series of $frac{1}{5-4cos x}$. Then by the orthogonality relations
$$ int_{0}^{2pi}frac{cos(3x)}{5-4cos(x)},dx = frac{2pi}{3}cdotfrac{1}{2^3}=color{red}{frac{pi}{12}}.$$
This approach might look as an overkill, but it is pretty useful in understanding the asymptotic behaviour of the Fourier coefficients of $frac{1}{left(Rpmcosthetaright)^alpha}$ when $alphainfrac{1}{2}+mathbb{N}$.

    Thanks, I just have one question. What exactly did you do in the step $int_{0}^{2pi}frac{cos(3x)}{5-4cos(x)}$=$frac{2pi}{3}frac{1}{2^3}$ ?

  • $begingroup$
    Ah okay, it's the dot product of $cos(3x)$ and $frac{1}{5-4cos(x)}$ which you wrote as a serie just before and then you use, as said, the orthogonality. And then you integrate and you get $2pi$ times $frac{1}{2}((cos(3x-3x)+cos(3x+3x))$ from the cos(a)cos(b) (where a=b) trig identity, and cos(0) gives 1 while cos(6x) integrated from $0$ to $2pi$ gives $0$. And also, $frac{1}{3}*cos(3x)$ from $0$ to $2pi$ is also $0$. Makes sense, thank you !

  • $begingroup$
    @Szeto: it is not that I hate it, but many times Fourier series or the Laplace transform allow to avoid the "hunt" for the correct integration contour, since it is somewhat already encoded in their application, and I find this pretty practical.

    Thanks for your help, but if I use the wollowing way, what am I doing wrong ? $frac{-5 pm sqrt{25-16}}{-4}$ = $frac{5 pm sqrt{25-16}}{4}$ = $frac{1}{2}$ and $2$. In this case, where did the extra factor of 2 go ?

    I think I understand what you did altough I have not used that formula recently. You found the roots, then used this: For a polynomial $ax^2+bx+c$ if we have two roots it can be rewritten as: $a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)$, right? Well you forgot to multiply by $a$ then.

    In general I preffer to have the coefficient of $z^2$ to be $1$. Here is an alternative to find the factorization: $$-2z^2+5z-2=-frac{1}{2}((2z)^2-5(2z)+4)$$ Now I denote $(2z)=y$ $$-frac{1}{2}(y^2-5y+4)=-frac12 (y^2-y-4y+4)=-frac12 y(y-1)-4(y-1)=-frac12(y-4)(y-1)$$ Now returing to $z$ we have: $$-frac12(2z-4)(2z-1)=-2(2z-1)(z-frac12)$$

Starting with a geometric series:
$$frac{1}{2-e^{ix}} = sum_{ngeq 0}frac{1}{2^{n+1}}e^{nix}$$
we may consider the product between this series and its conjugate:



$$begin{eqnarray*}frac{1}{5-4cos x}&=&sum_{m,ngeq 0}frac{1}{2^{m+n+2}}e^{(n-m)ix}\&=&frac{1}{3}+sum_{n>mgeq 0}frac{1}{2^{m+n+1}}cos((n-m)x)\&=&frac{1}{3}+sum_{dgeq 1}cos(dx)sum_{mgeq 0}frac{1}{2^{2m+d+1}}\&=&frac{1}{3}+sum_{dgeq 1}frac{cos(dx)}{2^d}sum_{mgeq 0}frac{1}{2^{2m+1}}\&=&frac{1}{3}+frac{2}{3}sum_{dgeq 1}frac{cos(dx)}{2^d}end{eqnarray*} $$
to get the whole Fourier cosine series of $frac{1}{5-4cos x}$. Then by the orthogonality relations
$$ int_{0}^{2pi}frac{cos(3x)}{5-4cos(x)},dx = frac{2pi}{3}cdotfrac{1}{2^3}=color{red}{frac{pi}{12}}.$$
This approach might look as an overkill, but it is pretty useful in understanding the asymptotic behaviour of the Fourier coefficients of $frac{1}{left(Rpmcosthetaright)^alpha}$ when $alphainfrac{1}{2}+mathbb{N}$.

    Ah okay, it's the dot product of $cos(3x)$ and $frac{1}{5-4cos(x)}$ which you wrote as a serie just before and then you use, as said, the orthogonality. And then you integrate and you get $2pi$ times $frac{1}{2}((cos(3x-3x)+cos(3x+3x))$ from the cos(a)cos(b) (where a=b) trig identity, and cos(0) gives 1 while cos(6x) integrated from $0$ to $2pi$ gives $0$. And also, $frac{1}{3}*cos(3x)$ from $0$ to $2pi$ is also $0$. Makes sense, thank you !

    @Szeto: it is not that I hate it, but many times Fourier series or the Laplace transform allow to avoid the "hunt" for the correct integration contour, since it is somewhat already encoded in their application, and I find this pretty practical.

Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

Image
0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
