Keep the circular portion of a Hankel contour at fixed nonzero radius. Its numerator is an entire function of , because the contour avoids zero and its tails decay exponentially, uniformly on compact parameter sets. At a positive integer , the integrand is single-valued and entire in , so the bank integrals cancel and the circular integral is zero. Thus , canceling the simple zero of in the Hankel representation of the Gamma function. At a nonpositive integer , the circular integral instead gives , yielding residue .
