### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

That is correct.

For  the second limit?

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

I agree with you regarding the satisfaction and importance of actually computing some numbers. I can't tell you how often I see time and money wasted because someone didn't bother to run the numbers.

Why? I thought it was 2*pi*i*(sum of the residues), not pi*i...

Yes, but that is from -∞ to ∞. This integral is symmetrical and goes from 0 to ∞.

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

Oh, okay...

Also, I get the same answer as you but only if I take the real part of my answer and ignore the imaginary part. Am I supposed to do that or is that just an error in my arithmetic?

Something is wrong with the arithmetic. What are you using to compute the sum of the two limits?

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

Okay, see you later.

I got it, I was being silly, it is not the arithmetic that is an issue -- I just wasn't using De Moivre's to get the complex number form of those powers of i. This is a great technique, I will try it out on some other interesting integrals.

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

I am getting the residue to be zero but I am guessing I need to do something else... there is only one pole and it is a removable singularity (no C[sub]-1[/sub] co-efficient in the Laurent series). The answer should be \pi and DUIS can be used to show this, but I wanted to approach it with contour integration.

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

Yes, no Laurent series. I am getting zero also. It is obviously wrong so this method might not apply here

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

I remember reading some PDF where a guy managed to do it but I can't remember what he did...

I think there is something missing in our methodology -- aren't there a number of steps that have to be done first, e.g. showing that the function is holomorphic?

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

Yes, I believe so. Are you sure you could do it using Residues? This one does not have a Laurent series. Doesn't that mean no poles?

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

But that function is clearly not defined at x = 0... surely it has a pole there? What else would be there? I thought that if it doesn't appear in the series expansion about that point, then it just means that it is a removable singularity.

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

A pole is the coefficient of the a(-1) term. There is no such term here.

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

Oh excuse me, I meant residue. If the residue is 0 then the integral is 0 according to that formula.

0 is a removable singularity but it is not a pole.

### Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula

Have to find another way to evaluate it. What I am saying is that for some reason this method does not apply here. Possibly because it has no Laurent series.

Second paragraph helps.
