Integral with two different answers using real and complex analysis












9














The integral is$$int_0^{2pi}frac{mathrm dθ}{2-cosθ}.$$Just to skip time, the answer of the indefinite integral is $dfrac2{sqrt{3}}tan^{-1}left(sqrt3tanleft(dfracθ2right)right)$.



Evaluating it from $0$ to $ 2 pi$ yields$$frac2{sqrt3}tan^{-1}(sqrt3 tanπ)-frac2{sqrt3}tan^{-1}(sqrt3 tan0)=0-0=0.$$But using complex analysis, the integral is transformed into$$2iint_Cfrac{mathrm dz}{z^2-4z+1}=2iint_Cfrac{mathrm dz}{(z-2+sqrt3)(z-2-sqrt3)},$$
where $C$ is the boundary of the circle $|z|=1$. Then by Cauchy's integral formula, since $z=2-sqrt3$ is inside the domain of the region bounded by $C$, then:
$$2iint_Cfrac{mathrm dz}{(z-2+sqrt3)(z-2-sqrt3)}=2πifrac{2i}{2-sqrt3-2-sqrt3}=2πifrac{2i}{-2sqrt3}=frac{2π}{sqrt3}.$$



Using real analysis I get $0$, using complex analysis I get $dfrac{2π}{sqrt3}$. What is wrong?

    OK, so I only spotted this after I already knew what the answer was, but nonetheless: notice that the integrand is always strictly positive, so the integral can't possibly be 0.

The problem with the real approach is that you make the change of variable $t=tanleft(dfrac{theta}{2}right)$ for $0 < theta < 2 pi$.



This is problematic since your substitution need to be defined and continuous for all $theta$, but you have a problem when $theta=pi$.



Edit: Note that if you split the integral into $int_0^pi+int_pi^{2 pi}$, you are going to get the right answer, as for one integral you are going to get $arctan(- infty)$ and for the other $arctan(+infty)$:



$$int_0^{2 pi} frac{mathrm{d}θ}{2-cos theta}=int_0^pi frac{mathrm{d}θ}{2-cos theta}+int_pi ^{2 pi} frac{mathrm{d}θ}{2-cos theta}\
= lim_{r to pi_-} int_0^r frac{mathrm{d}θ}{2-cos theta}+ lim_{w to pi_+} int_w^{2 pi} frac{mathrm{d}θ}{2-cos theta}\= lim_{r to pi_-} left(frac{2tan^-1( sqrt{3} tan( frac{ r}{2}))}{ sqrt{3}}-0right)+ lim_{w to pi_+}left(0- frac{2tan^-1( sqrt{3} tan( frac{ r}{2}))}{ sqrt{3}}right).$$

Note that that tangent function, $tan(x)$, is discontinuous when $x=pi/2+npi$. So, the antiderivative $frac2{sqrt{3}} arctanleft(sqrt 3 tan(theta/2)right)$ is not valid over the interval $[0,2pi]$.



Instead, we have



$$int_0^{2pi}frac{1}{2-cos(theta)},dtheta=2int_0^pifrac{1}{2-cos(theta)},dtheta=frac{4}{sqrt3}left.left(arctanleft(sqrt 3 tan(theta/2)right)right)right|_0^pi=frac{2pi}{sqrt3}$$
