estimating theorem of contour integral


Theorem.

If f is a continuous complex function on the rectifiable curve γ of the complex planeMathworldPlanetmath, then

|γf(z)𝑑z|maxzγ|f(z)|l, (1)

where

l=γ|dz|

is the of γ.

The form of (1) concerning the continuous real function f on the intervalMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath [a,b] is

|abf(x)𝑑x|maxaxb|f(x)|(b-a).

For applications of this important theorem, see the example of using residue theoremMathworldPlanetmath.
