A possible singularity on the contour: the half-residue on a half-disc boundary #
The pure on-contour case of WorkedExamples/HalfDisc/Poles.lean: an integrand whose only possible
singularity is at the origin, where it is at worst a simple pole and where the half-disc contour
passes straight through. Nothing is enclosed, so the result is the half-residue identity: the
origin's generalized winding number is ½ (windingNumber_halfDiscBoundary), and its contribution
is π i · Res. When the singularity is a genuine simple pole, rather than removable or regular,
this is half the 2π i · Res contribution of an enclosed pole and is Hungerbühler–Wasem's
motivating example.
Each statement here is the S = ∅ case of its counterpart in HalfDisc/Poles.lean, restated
without the (then empty) sum over enclosed poles because that is the shape the Dirichlet-integral
evaluation downstream consumes.

The half-residue theorem on the half-disc boundary. If f is holomorphic off the origin
and has at worst a simple pole there (the hypotheses also permit a removable singularity, or
f holomorphic at 0, in which case the residue is 0), then along the half-disc boundary —
which passes through the origin — the Cauchy principal value of ∫ f is π i · residue f 0:
half of what the classical residue theorem would give for a pole enclosed by the contour, because
the generalized winding number at a smooth crossing is ½.
This is hasCauchyPV_halfDiscBoundary_of_simple_poles with no enclosed poles.
The motivating example: the principal value of ∫ dz / z along the half-disc
boundary is π i. The pole sits on the contour, so the classical residue theorem does not
apply and the integral exists only as a principal value; the generalized theorem evaluates it as
half the enclosed-pole answer 2π i.
Splitting the half-disc: the diameter piece. Subtracting the arc contribution from the half-residue identity leaves the principal value along the diameter alone.
The arc term is expressed as a circleMap integral, which is the form Jordan's lemma bounds. It
vanishes as R → ∞ for an integrand e^{iaz} · g z (a > 0) whose sup bound on the semicircle
tends to 0 — oscillation alone is not enough, the amplitude must decay. The concrete case
f z = e^{iz}/z, where that bound is 1/R, is the Hungerbühler–Wasem motivating example.
This is hasCauchyPV_halfDiscBoundary_diameter_of_simple_poles with no enclosed poles.
The identity along the real segment. The diameter of the half-disc traces the straight
line t ↦ t, so the principal value can be stated along that curve directly — the form the
real-axis improper integral consumes, with no reference to the auxiliary contour.
This is hasCauchyPV_realSegment_of_simple_poles with no enclosed poles.
