Let F(z) be defined by
F(z)=∫0∞1+t3e−2ztdt,∣argz∣<2π
Let F~(z) be defined by
F~(z)=∫0−i∞1+ζ3e−2zζdζ,α<argz<β
where the above integral is along the negative imaginary axis of the complex ζ-plane and the real constants α and β are to be determined.
Using Cauchy's theorem, or otherwise, compute F(z)−F~(z) and hence find a formula for the analytic continuation of F(z) for 2π⩽argz<π.
