Statement
Consider a complex-valued, continuous function f, defined on a semicircular contour
of radius R > 0 lying in the upper half-plane, centred at the origin. If the function f is of the form
with a parameter a > 0, then Jordan's lemma states the following upper bound for the contour integral:
An analogous statement for a semicircular contour in the lower half-plane holds when a < 0.

Famous quotes containing the word statement:
“Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
