Factor the denominator as $(z^2+1)(z^2+4)$ and integrateover $[-R,R]$ followed by the upper semicircle, for $R>2$. The enclosed simple poles are $i$ and $2i$. The local quotient formula from part (a) givesOn this arc, $|e^{iz}|=e^{-\mathrm{Im}z}\le 1$ and $|z^2+1|\ge R^2-1$, $|z^2+4|\ge R^2-4$. Thus the estimation lemma givesOn the real line, $|F(x)|\le 1/[(x^2+1)(x^2+4)]$, so the improper integral is absolutely convergent. Hence the residue theorem yieldsTaking real parts is justified by absolute convergence. ThereforeThe imaginary part vanishes as a further check, since the sine integrand is odd.

The improper integral converges: its integrand is bounded near zero and at most $x^{-n}$ for $x\ge 1$, which is integrable because $n\ge 2$.

Set $\theta =\pi /n$, $\omega =e^{2i\theta }$ and $\zeta =e^{i\theta }$. Apply the residue theorem to $F(z)=1/(1+z^n)$ on the positively oriented sector contour consisting of the segment $0\to R$, the arc $R{e}^{it}$ for $0\le t\le 2\theta$, and the segment $R\omega \to 0$, with $R>1$. No pole lies on the boundary. Exactly one root of $z^n=-1$ is inside this sector, namely $\zeta$; it is a simple pole. Part (a) givesOn the returning ray, put $z=\omega x$ with $x$ decreasing from $R$ to zero. Since ${\omega }^n=1$, the two ray contributions areOn the arc, $|1+z^n|\ge R^n-1$, so the estimation lemma bounds its contour integral byThe residue theorem and the convergence already established now giveUsing $1-e^{2i\theta }=-2i{e}^{i\theta }\sin \theta$, we concludeThe sector also works for $n=2$, when it is the upper semicircle. Its angle is chosen so that $z^n$ has the same value on the two rays.

The simple zero assumption gives the local factorizationwhere $k$ is holomorphic. In a small disc $k$ stays nonzero, so $q=g/k$ is holomorphic there. Expanding $q$ to first order,The residue is thereforeIf $g(a)=0$, the quotient has a removable singularity rather than a simple pole, and the same formula correctly gives zero. This is the residue formula for a quotient at a simple denominator zero.

Let $F=e^g$. It is holomorphic and nowhere zero on a punctured neighbourhood of $a$, and the chain rule givesIf $F$ had a pole of order $n\ge 1$, part (c) would imply ${\mathrm{Res}}_a(g^{\prime })=-n$. But the derivative of a holomorphic function on a punctured disc has residue zero. Indeed, write its Laurent seriesTermwise differentiation is valid on every smaller closed annulus. The only possible $(z-a{)}^{-1}$ term comes from $k=0$ and has coefficient zero. Thusa contradiction. Therefore $\boxed{e^g\text{ cannot have a pole at }a}$. This proves an exponential has no isolated pole, including when $g$ has an essential singularity; no choice of a holomorphic logarithm on the entire punctured disc was assumed.

Use the local factorization for a pole of order $n$:Shrink the disc so that the holomorphic function $h$ has no zeros there. Differentiating and dividing gives the logarithmic derivativeThe second term is holomorphic across $a$. Since $n\ge 1$, the first term cannot cancel. Hence $f^{\prime }/f$ has a simple pole, and the coefficient of $(z-a{)}^{-1}$ in its Laurent series isThis is the pole case of the integer residue of a logarithmic derivative.

We prove the Casorati-Weierstrass theorem by contradiction. Fix an allowed $\rho$. If the stated image were not a dense set in $\mathbb{C}$, there would be a disc $B(w,ϵ)$ disjoint from it. HenceThe holomorphic function $h(z)=1/(f(z)-w)$ is bounded by $1/ϵ$ on that punctured disc. By the permitted Riemann removable singularity theorem, it extends to a holomorphic function $H$ on the full disc.

If $H(a)\ne 0$, then $w+1/H$ is holomorphic near $a$ and agrees with $f$ away from $a$. This makes $a$ a removable singularity of $f$.

If $H(a)=0$, then $H$ is not identically zero, since $h$ is nowhere zero away from $a$. Its Taylor series therefore has a finite first nonzero coefficient: otherwise the identity theorem would make it identically zero. Write $H(z)=(z-a{)}^{m}K(z)$ with $m\ge 1$ and $K(a)\ne 0$. Thenhas a pole of order $m$ at $a$, since multiplying by $(z-a{)}^m$ gives the nonzero limit $1/K(a)$.

Both cases contradict an essential singularity. Thus

Define $F(z)=\overline{f(\overline{z})}$. To apply the identity theorem, we first verify that $F$ is holomorphic; mere complex conjugation of the values of $f$ would not suffice. For $h\ne 0$,Thus $F$ is an entire function, just as $f$ is. At each positive integer $n$, the point $1/n$ is real and $f(1/n)$ is real, so $F(1/n)=f(1/n)$. These distinct points accumulate at $0\in \mathbb{C}$. The identity theorem on the connected complex plane givesThis is conjugate reflection of a holomorphic function, with the reality data forcing equality to its reflection.

The identity theorem states: if $V\subseteq \mathbb{C}$ is a nonempty connected open set and $p,q$ are holomorphic functions on $V$, and their equality set has a limit point in $V$, thenThe interior location of the limit point and connectedness are essential hypotheses.

For the proof put $h=p-q$. At any $z_0\in V$, its convergent Taylor series either has every coefficient zero, making $h$ zero on a neighbourhood, or has a first nonzero coefficient, of degree $m\ge 0$. In the latter case,where $k$ is holomorphic near $z_0$. By continuity, $k$ is nonzero on a smaller disc. Thus any zero at $z_0$ is isolated unless $h$ vanishes on a neighbourhood. An accumulation of distinct zeros at the assumed interior limit point therefore forces the neighbourhood alternative.

Let $E$ be the set of points of $V$ with a neighbourhood on which $h=0$. We have just proved $E\ne \varnothing$, and $E$ is an open set. It is also a closed set relative to $V$: a point of its closure outside $E$ would be approached by distinct points of $E$, hence by zeros, and the same Taylor series argument would place it in $E$. Since $V$ is connected, $E=V$. Thus $h=0$ on $V$, proving the theorem.

The function $h(z)=1/(z+1)$ is holomorphic on $U$ and hasIts imaginary part is exactly the prescribed $v$. Thus $f-h$ is a real-valued holomorphic function. The Cauchy-Riemann equations force both partial derivatives of its real part to vanish. Since $\mathbb{C}\setminus \{-1\}$ is a connected space, $f-h$ is a single real constant. All possibilities are thereforeConversely every such function has the stated imaginary part. The data determine $f$ only up to this real additive constant.

A sufficient condition is that $U$ is a connected space. Suppose, towards a contradiction, that $|f|$ is the same constant $R$ throughout $U$. If $R=0$, then $f=0$, contradicting $f(a)\ne f(b)$.

If $R>0$, differentiate $u^2+v^2=R^2$ in $x$ and $y$, and use the Cauchy-Riemann equations from part (a). They giveThe coefficient matrix for $(u_x,v_x)$ has determinant $-(u^2+v^2)=-R^2\ne 0$. Hence $u_x=v_x=0$, so $f^{\prime }=0$ everywhere. A holomorphic function with zero complex derivative is locally constant: within a small disc, differentiate along a straight segment. Local constancy and connectedness imply constancy on $U$, again a contradiction.

Consequently,This is the constant-modulus holomorphic function principle. The extra hypothesis matters: on two disjoint open discs, define $f=1$ on one and $f=-1$ on the other. It is holomorphic and nonconstant, yet $|f|=1$ everywhere.

At every $z=x+iy\in U$, the Cauchy-Riemann equations areTo derive them from complex differentiability, approach $z$ along real increments $h$. The complex derivative givesApproaching along imaginary increments $ih$ instead givesThese limits exist because $f$ is holomorphic. Equating their real and imaginary parts proves the equations, together with $f^{\prime }=u_x+i{v}_x=v_y-i{u}_y$.
