I=Ceiz2/π1+e2zdzI=\oint_{C} \frac{e^{i z^{2} / \pi}}{1+e^{-2 z}} d z

where CC is the rectangle with vertices at ±R\pm R and ±R+iπ\pm R+i \pi, traversed anti-clockwise.

(i) Show that I=π(1+i)2I=\frac{\pi(1+i)}{\sqrt{2}}.

(ii) Assuming that the contribution to II from the vertical sides of the rectangle is negligible in the limit RR \rightarrow \infty, show that

eix2/πdx=π(1+i)2\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{i x^{2} / \pi} d x=\frac{\pi(1+i)}{\sqrt{2}}

(iii) Justify briefly the assumption that the contribution to II from the vertical sides of the rectangle is negligible in the limit RR \rightarrow \infty.
