variant of Cauchy integral formula


Theorem.  Let f⁢(z) be holomorphic in a domain A of ℂ.  If C is a closed contour not intersecting itself which with its domain is contained in A and if z is an arbitrary point inside C, then

f⁢(z)=12⁢i⁢π⁢∮Cf⁢(t)t-z⁢𝑑t. (1)

Proof.  Let ε be any positive number.  Denote by Cr the circles with radius r and centered in z.  We have

∮Cf⁢(t)t-z⁢𝑑t=∮Cf⁢(z)+(f⁢(t)-f⁢(z))t-z⁢𝑑t=∮Cf⁢(z)t-z⁢𝑑t⏟I+∮Cf⁢(t)-f⁢(z)t-z⁢𝑑t⏟J.

According to the corollary of Cauchy integral theorem and its example, we may write

I=f⁢(z)⁢∮Cd⁢tt-z= 2⁢i⁢π⁢f⁢(z).

If  0<r< some ⁢r0,  we have

J=∮Crf⁢(t)-f⁢(z)t-z⁢𝑑t.

The continuity of f in the point z implies, that

|f⁢(t)-f⁢(z)|<ε

when  0<|t-z|< some ⁢δε  i.e. when

t∈Cr⁢ and ⁢ 0<r< some ⁢r1. (2)

If (2) is in , we obtain first

|f⁢(t)-f⁢(z)t-z|=|f⁢(t)-f⁢(z)||t-z|=|f⁢(t)-f⁢(z)|r<εr,

whence, by the estimation theorem of integral,

|J|≦εr⋅2⁢π⁢r= 2⁢π⁢ε for 0<r<min⁡{r0,r1},

and lastly

|12⁢i⁢π⁢∮Cf⁢(t)t-z⁢𝑑t-f⁢(z)|=|12⁢i⁢π⁢J|≦12⁢π⋅2⁢π⁢ε=ε when ⁢0<r<min⁡{r0,r1}. (3)

This result implies (1).
