#Semicircle

13 years and I’ve only just noticed this: I would never describe the shape of ice that comes out of my refrigerator (which does look like the icon) as “cubed” flic.kr/p/2pGsRcK

Close-up of a refrigerator’s ice type selector. A blue-backlit icon states it will dispense “cubed” ice as opposed to crushed, however the shape of ice depicted is not cubes, rather the variety that is flat on one side and curved on the other—a cursed shape that frequently dams up the beverage in a cup, resulting in the all-too-familiar gush of liquid when the cup is tipped back too far while trying to actually take a drink.

JORDAN'S LEMMA
Jordan’s lemma explains the behaviour of a contour integral on the semicircular upper arc and is frequently used along the residue theorem to evaluate such integrals.

Consider the upper semicircle \(C_R=\{Re^{i\theta}|\theta\in[0,\pi]\}\) and a continuous function \(f:C_R\to\mathbb{C}\). If \(f(z)=e^{i\lambda z}g(z)\) for some function \(g\) and \(\lambda\in\mathbb{R}^+\), then the contour integral is bounded.
\[\displaystyle\left|\int_{C_R}f(z)\ \mathrm{d}z\right|\leq\dfrac{\pi}{\lambda}M_R\ \text{where } M_R:=\max_{\theta\in[0,\pi]}\left|g(Re^{i\theta})\right|\]
