for y k: 0. lt follows that

as R --> co. For R > 1 the integrand has a singularity at z = i inside y where the
residue is

Therefore

Hence we have
as R --> co, from which it follows that

W e therefore deduce that
though this is of cotlrse immediate from the fact that the integrand is odd in this
Case.
