Integral of the reciprocal of a complex polynomial [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:




  • Proof that $frac {1} {2pi i} oint frac {{rm d}z} {P(z)} $ over a closed curve is zero.

    2 answers




For a polynomial P(z) of degree $ngeq2$, show that there exists some $R_{1}>0$ such that for $R>R_{1}$ it holds that:
$$int_{C_{R}}frac{1}{P(z)}dz=0$$ where $C_{R}$ is a circle of radius R with the centre $0$.



I am already aware of the fact that $$lim_{Rto infty}int_{C_{R}}frac{1}{P(z)}dz=0$$ and how to go about proving it but I'm not sure how to evaluate the first integral written above without using any limit. Would I maybe use a similar approach as was used to show the latter integral?

If $R$ and $S$ are greater than the absolute value of every root of $P$, then, by Cauchy's theorem$$oint_{C_R}frac1{P(z)},mathrm dz=oint_{C_S}frac1{P(z)},mathrm dz.$$This, together with the fact that that limit that you mentioned is $0$; is enogh to prove that $oint_{C_R}frac1{P(z)},mathrm dz$ is $0$ if $R$ is large enough.

    Would 'If R and S are greater than the absolute value of every root of P' be another way of saying that all roots of P are contained in R and S? I'm confident the answer is yes but I'd like to be certain
