Solving a complex integral $oint_Lfrac{e^{1/(z-a)}}zdz$ using Cauchy's formula












2












$begingroup$


I am practicing complex integration using Cauchy's formula, and I ran into a problem. The following integral:



$$oint_{L}{frac{e^{frac{1}{z-a}}}{z}}dz$$ where $$L={zinmathbb{C}:|z|=r}$$ for some $rneq|a|$.



So the contour is a circle in the origin that can not pass through one of the singularities $a$. The other singularity being $0$. That means it's eather of a greater or lesser radius than $|a|$. If it is of a radius lesser than $|a|$, then by Cauchy's formula:
$$oint_{L}{frac{e^{frac{1}{z-a}}}{(z-0)}}dz = frac{2pi i}{e^{1/a}}$$
If, however, $r>|a|$ then the integral would be the sum of the integrals of two separate disjunct contours containing only the $0$ singularity and only the $a$ singularity. This is where I'm stuck. I'm not sure how to solve the integral of the contour containing the $a$ singularity (can't get it in Cauchy formula form).

          See this answer. Instead of taking the residue at $z = a$, take the residue at $z = infty$, which is the value of $-e^{1/(z - a)}$ at $z = infty$.
