Jordan's Lemma - Statement

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:

    After the first powerful plain manifesto
    The black statement of pistons, without more fuss
    But gliding like a queen, she leaves the station.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    The new statement is always hated by the old, and, to those dwelling in the old, comes like an abyss of skepticism.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)
