Let be a regular analytic function of a complex variable , where , , up to a discrete set of singular points. If there is a sequence of semi-circles

such that the maximum on tends to zero as , then

where is any positive number. Jordan's lemma can be applied to residues not only under the condition , but even when uniformly on a sequence of semi-circles in the upper or lower half-plane. For example, in order to calculate integrals of the form

Obtained by C. Jordan [1].
