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:
“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
“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.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest narrative. Afterwards, it may warm itself until it exhales symbols of every kind and color, speaks only through the most poetic forms; but first and last, it must still be at bottom a biblical statement of fact.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
