Summary
The generalized Siewert-Burniston method for the determination of the zeros of an analytic function inside a simple closed contourC in the complex plane is modified to be applicable to the determination of both the zeros and the poles of a meromorphic function insideC. The method is based again on the solution of a homogeneous Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem onC and the values of the meromorphic function onC are sufficient for the application of the method.
Résumé
La méthode de Siewert et Burniston généralisée pour la détermination des zéros d'une fonction analytique à l'intérieur d'un contourC simple fermé dans le plan complexe est modifiée pour être applicable à la détermination des zéros ainsi que des pôles d'une fonction méromorphe à l'intérieur deC. La méthode se base encore une fois à la résolution d'un problème de valeurs aux limites de Riemann-Hilbert surC; les valeurs de la fonction méromorphe surC étant suffisantes pour l'application de la méthode.
