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:
“He has the common feeling of his profession. He enjoys a statement twice as much if it appears in fine print, and anything that turns up in a footnote ... takes on the character of divine revelation.”

—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.”
