The foreground image represents the result of applying a transformation, \( z = z^2 \) (see Exercises 3.53 and 3.54), to the background image. The locally-conformable property of this mapping can be observed through matching the line segments, angles, and Sierpiński triangle features of the background image with their respective images in the foreground figure. (The foreground figure is scaled down to about 40% and repositioned to accommodate artistic and visibility considerations.) The background image fills the square with vertices at \( 0, 1, 1+i, \) and \( i \) (the positive direction along the imaginary axis is chosen as downward). It was prepared by using Michael Barnsley's chaos game, explaining on the fact that a square is self-similar, and by using a fractal–coloring method. A subset of the image is seen as a standard Sierpiński triangle. The chaos game was also re-purposed to create the foreground image. Robert Chaffin is Professor Emeritus at Central Michigan University. His academic interests are in abstract algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and computer applications. Some retirement from teaching has allowed much of this time to applying those interests to creation of art images.

Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) ## About this book *A First Course in Complex Analysis* was written for a one-semester undergraduate course developed at Binghamton University (SUNY) and San Francisco State University, and has been adopted at several other institutions. For many of our students, Complex Analysis is their first rigorous analysis (if not mathematics) class they take, and this book reflects this very much. We tried to rely on as few concepts from real analysis as possible. In particular, series and sequences are treated from scratch, which has the consequence that power series are introduced late in the course. The goal our book works toward is the Residue Theorem, including some nontraditional applications from both continuous and discrete mathematics. A printed paperback version of this open textbook is available from Orthogonal Publishing (www.orthogonalpublishing.com) or your favorite online bookseller. ## About the authors **Matthias Beck** is a professor in the Mathematics Department at San Francisco State University.

Depending on the nature of your course and its place in your department's overall curriculum, some sections can be either partially omitted or their definitions and theorems can be assumed true without delving into proofs. Chapter 10 contains optional longer homework problems that could also be used as group projects at the end of a course. We would be happy to hear from anyone who has adopted our book for their course, as well as suggestions, corrections, or other comments. ## Acknowledgments We thank our students who made many suggestions for and found errors in the text.

(God created the integers, everything else is made by humans.) Leopold Kronecker (1823–1891) The real numbers have many useful properties. There are operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication, as well as division by any nonzero number. There are useful laws that govern these operations, such as the commutative and distributive laws. We can take limits and do calculus, differentiating and integrating functions. But you cannot take a square root of \(-1\); that is, you cannot find a real root of the equation $$ x^2 + 1 = 0. \tag{1.1} $$ Most of you have heard that there is a "new" number that is a root of (1.1); that is, \(x^2 + 1 = 0\) or \(x^2 = -1\). We will show that when the real numbers are enlarged to a new system called the **complex numbers**, which includes \(i\), not only do we gain numbers with interesting properties, but we do not lose many of the nice properties that we had before. The complex numbers, like the real numbers, will have the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, as well as division by any complex number except zero. These operations will follow all the laws that we are used to, such as the commutative and distributive laws. We will also be able to take limits and do calculus. And there will be a root of (1.1). As a brief historical aside, complex numbers did not originate with the search for a square root of \(-1\); rather, they were introduced in the context of cubic equations. Scipione del Ferro (1465–1526) and Niccolò Tartaglia (1499–1557) discovered a way to find a root of any cubic polynomial, which was publicized by Gerolamo Cardano (1501–1576) and is often referred to as **Cardano's formula**. For the cubic polynomial \(x^3 + px + q\), Cardano's formula involves the quantity $$ \sqrt[3]{-\frac{q}{2} + \sqrt{\left(\frac{q}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{p}{3}\right)^3}} + \sqrt[3]{-\frac{q}{2} - \sqrt{\left(\frac{q}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{p}{3}\right)^3}}. $$ #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 8 Context: ``` # Complex Numbers It is not hard to come up with examples for \( p \) and \( q \) for which the argument of this square root becomes negative and thus not computable within the real numbers. On the other hand (e.g., by arguing through the graph of a cubic polynomial), every cubic polynomial has at least one real root. This seeming contradiction can be solved using complex numbers, as was probably first exemplified by Rafael Bombelli (1526–1572). In the next section we show exactly how the complex numbers are set up, and in the rest of this chapter we will explore the properties of the complex numbers. These properties will be of both algebraic (such as the commutative and distributive properties mentioned already) and geometric nature. You will see, for example, that multiplication can be described geometrically. In the rest of the book, the calculus of complex numbers will be built on the properties that we develop in this chapter. ## 1.1 Definitions and Algebraic Properties There are many equivalent ways to think about a complex number, each of which is useful in its own right. In this section, we begin with a formal definition of a complex number. We then interpret this formal definition in more useful and easier-to-work-with algebraic language. Later we will see several more ways of thinking about complex numbers. **Definition.** The complex numbers are pairs of real numbers: \[ C = \{(x, y) : x, y \in \mathbb{R} \} \] equipped with the addition \[ (x, y) + (a, b) = (x + a, y + b) \quad (1.2) \] and the multiplication \[ (x, y) \cdot (a, b) = (x a - y b, x b + y a) \quad (1.3) \] One reason to believe that the definitions of these binary operations are acceptable is that \( C \) is an extension of \( \mathbb{R} \), in the sense that the complex numbers of the form \((x, 0)\) behave just like real numbers: \[ (x, 0) + (y, 0) = (x + y, 0) \quad \text{and} \quad (x, 0) \cdot (y, 0) = (xy, 0). \] ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 9 Context: So we can think of the real numbers being embedded in \( \mathbb{C} \) as those complex numbers whose second coordinate is zero. The following result states the algebraic structure that we established with our definitions. ## Proposition 1.1 Let \( (x, y) \) be a field, that is, for all \( (a, b) \in \mathbb{C} \): 1. \( (x, y) + (a, b) \in \mathbb{C} \) (1.4) 2. \( (x, y) + (a, d) + (b, c) = (x, y) + ((a + b), c) \) (1.5) 3. \( (x, y) + (0, 0) = (x, y) \) (1.6) 4. \( (x, y) + (-x, -y) = (0, 0) \) (1.7) 5. \( (a, b) + (c, d) = (x, y) \cdot (a, b) + (c, d) \) (1.8) 6. \( (x, y) \in \mathbb{C} \) (1.9) 7. \( (x, y) \cdot (a, b) = (x \cdot a, y \cdot b) \) (1.10) 8. \( (x, y) \cdot (b, d) = (x \cdot b, (a \cdot b)(c, d)) \) (1.11) 9. \( (x, y) \cdot (a, b) = (x, y) \) (1.12) 10. \( (x, y) \cdot (1, 0) = (x, y) \) (1.13) 11. For all \( (x, y) \in \mathbb{C} \setminus \{(0, 0)\} \): \( (x, y) \cdot \left( \frac{(y, -x)}{x^2 + y^2} \right) = (1, 0) \) (1.14) What we are stating here can be compressed in the language of algebra: equations (1.4)–(1.8) say that \( (\mathbb{C}, +) \) is an Abelian group with identity \( (0, 0) \); equations (1.10)–(1.14) say that \( (\mathbb{C} \setminus \{(0, 0)\}, \cdot) \) is an Abelian group with identity \( (1, 0) \). The proof of Proposition 1.1 is straightforward but nevertheless makes for good practice (Exercise 1.14). We give one sample: **Proof (1.18)**. By our definition for complex addition and properties of additive inverse in \( \mathbb{R} \): \[ (x, y) + (-x, -y) = (x + (-x), y + (-y)) = (0, 0). \] The definition of our multiplication implies the innocent-looking statement: \[ (0, 1) \cdot (1, 0) = (1, 0). \quad (1.15) \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 10 Context: ``` # Complex Numbers This identity together with the fact that $$ (x_0, \cdots, x_n) \cdot (x, y) = (ax, az) $$ allows an alternative notation for complex numbers. The latter implies that we can write $$ (x, y) = (x_0, 0) + (0, y) = (x_0, 0) + (0, 1)(0, y). $$ If we think—in the spirit of our remark about embedding R into C—of (x, 0) and (y, 0) as the real numbers x and y, then this means that we can write any complex number (x, y) as a linear combination of (1, 0) and (0, 1), with the real coefficients x and y. Now (1, 0), in turn, can be thought of as the real number 1. So if we give (0, 1) a special name, say i, then the complex number that we used to call (x, y) can be written as $$ x + iy. $$ ### Definition The number x is called the **real part** and y the **imaginary part** of the complex number x + iy, often denoted as Re(x + iy) = x and Im(x + iy) = y. The identity (1.15) then reads $$ i^2 = -1. $$ In fact, much more can now be said with the introduction of the square root of -1. It is not just that (1.1) has a root, but every nonconstant polynomial has roots in C: ### Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (see Theorem 5.11). Every nonconstant polynomial of degree d has d roots (counting multiplicity) in C. The proof of this theorem requires some (important) machinery, so we defer its proof and an extended discussion of it to Chapter 5. We invite you to check that the definitions of our binary operations and Proposition 1.1 are coherent with the usual real arithmetic rules if we think of complex numbers as given in the form x + iy. *The names have historical reasons: people thought of complex numbers as unreal, imagined.* ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 11 Context: # 1.2 From Algebra to Geometry and Back Although we just introduced a new way of writing complex numbers, let’s for a moment return to the \((x, y)\)-notation. It suggests that we can think of a complex number as a two-dimensional real vector. When plotting these vectors in the plane \(\mathbb{R}^2\), we will call the \(x\)-axis the real axis and the \(y\)-axis the imaginary axis. The addition that we defined for complex numbers resembles vector addition; see Figure 1.1. The analogy stops at multiplication: there is no “usual” multiplication of two vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) that gives another vector, and certainly not one that agrees with our definition of the product of two complex numbers. ![Figure 1.1: Addition of complex numbers.](#) Any vector in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) is defined by its two coordinates. On the other hand, it is also determined by its length and the angle it encloses with, say, the positive real axis; let’s define these concepts thoroughly. ### Definition The absolute value (also called the modulus) of \(z = x + iy\) is \[ r = |z| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}, \] and an argument of \(z = x + iy\) is a number \(\phi \in \mathbb{R}\) such that \[ x = r \cos \phi \quad \text{and} \quad y = r \sin \phi. \] A given complex number \(z = x + iy\) has infinitely many possible arguments. For instance, the number \(1 = 1 + 0i\) lies on the positive real axis, and has argument \(0\), but we could just as well say it has argument \(2\pi, -2\pi, \text{or } 2k\pi\) for any integer \(k\). The number \(0 = 0 + 0i\) has modulus \(0\), and every real number \(y\) is an argument. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 12 Context: # COMPLEX NUMBERS Aside from the exceptional case of 0, for any complex number \( z \), the arguments of \( z \) all differ by a multiple of \( 2\pi \), just as we saw for the example \( z = 1 \). The absolute value of the difference of two vectors has a nice geometric interpretation: ## Proposition 1.2 Let \( z_1, z_2 \in \mathbb{C} \) be two complex numbers, thought of as vectors in \( \mathbb{R}^2 \), and let \( d(z_1, z_2) \) denote the distance between the endpoints of the two vectors in \( \mathbb{R}^2 \) (see Figure 1.2). Then \[ d(z_1, z_2) = |z_1 - z_2| = |z_2 - z_1|. \] **Proof:** Let \( z_1 = x_1 + iy_1 \) and \( z_2 = x_2 + iy_2 \). From geometry, we know that \[ d(z_1, z_2) = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}. \] This is the definition of \( |z_1 - z_2| \). Since \( (x_1 - x_2) = (x_2 - x_1) \) and \( (y_1 - y_2) = (y_2 - y_1) \), this is also equal to \( |z_2 - z_1| \. \qed ![Figure 1.2: Geometry behind the distance between two complex numbers.](path_to_image) That \( |z_1 - z_2| = |z_2 - z_1| \) simply says that the vector from \( z_2 \) to \( z_1 \) has the same length as the vector from \( z_1 \) to \( z_2 \). One reason to introduce the absolute value and argument of a complex number is that they allow us to give a geometric interpretation for the multiplication of two complex numbers. Let’s say we have two complex numbers \( z_1 = x_1 + iy_1 \), with absolute value \( r_1 \) and argument \( \phi_1 \), and \( z_2 = x_2 + iy_2 \), with absolute value \( r_2 \) and argument \( \phi_2 \). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 13 Context: # FROM ALGEBRA TO GEOMETRY AND BACK ## 7 ϕ₂. This means we can write \(x_1 + iy_1 = (r_1 \cos \phi_1) + i(r_1 \sin \phi_1)\) and \(x_2 + iy_2 = (r_2 \cos \phi_2) + i(r_2 \sin \phi_2)\). To compute the product, we make use of some classic trigonometric identities: \[ (x_1 + iy_1)(x_2 + iy_2) = (r_1 \cos \phi_1 + ir_1 \sin \phi_1)(r_2 \cos \phi_2 + ir_2 \sin \phi_2) \] \[ = r_1 r_2 (\cos \phi_1 \cos \phi_2 - \sin \phi_1 \sin \phi_2) + i(r_1 r_2 \cos \phi_2 \sin \phi_1 + r_1 r_2 \sin \phi_2 \cos \phi_1) \] \[ = r_1 r_2 \left( \cos(\phi_1 + \phi_2) + i \sin(\phi_1 + \phi_2) \right). \] So the absolute value of the product is \(r_1 r_2\) and one of its arguments is \(ϕ_1 + ϕ_2\). Geometrically, we are multiplying the lengths of the two vectors representing our two complex numbers and adding their angles measured with respect to the positive real axis. ![Figure 1.3: Multiplication of complex numbers](#) In view of the above calculation, it should come as no surprise that we will have to deal with quantities of the form \(x + iy\) (where \(y\) is some real number) quite a bit. To save space, bytes, ink, etc., and because "Mathematics is for lazy people" we introduce a shortcut notation and define: \[ e^{i\phi} = \cos \phi + i \sin \phi. \] ^1 You should convince yourself that there is no problem with this fact since there are many possible arguments for complex numbers, as both cosine and sine are periodic functions with period \(2\pi\). ^2 Peter Halton (unpublished articles, Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference 2000). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 14 Context: # COMPLEX NUMBERS Figure 1.4 shows three examples.

For any \( x_1, x_2 \in \mathbb{R} \): 1. \( e^{(x_1 + x_2 i)} = e^{x_1} e^{x_2 i} \) 2. \( e^{0} = 1 \) 3. \( \frac{d}{dx} e^{x} = e^{x} \) 4. \( |e^{x}| = 1 \) 5. \( e^{i\pi} = -1 \) You are encouraged to prove them (Exercise 1.16); again, we give a sample. ## Proof of \( e^{x} \). By definition of \( e^{x} \): \[ \frac{d}{dx} e^{(x + i)} = -\sin{(x)} + \cos{(x)} = i ( \cos{(x)} + i\sin{(x)}) = i e^{(x+i)} \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 15 Context: # Geometric Properties Proposition 1.3 implies that \( z^{n} = 1 \) for any integers \( n \) and \( r > 0 \). Thus, numbers of the form \( z^{n} \) with \( z \in \mathbb{Q} \) play a pivotal role in solving equations of the form \( z^{n} = 1 \)—plenty of reason to give them a special name. **Definition.** A root of unity is of the form \( z^{n} \) for some integers \( n \) and \( r > 0 \). A root of unity \( z \) is a complex number \( z \) such that \( z^{n} = 1 \) for some positive integer \( n \). In this case, we call \( z \) an \( n \)th root of unity. If \( n \) is the smallest positive integer with the property \( z^{n} = 1 \), then \( z \) is a primitive \( n \)th root of unity. **Example 1.4.** The 4th roots of unity are \( 1 \) and \( i \) and \( e^{i\frac{\pi}{2}} \). The latter two are primitive 4th roots of unity. With our new notation, the sentence "the complex number \( x + iy \) has absolute value \( r \) and argument \( \theta \) now becomes the identity \[ x + iy = r e^{i\theta}. \] The left-hand side is often called the **rectangular form**, the right-hand side the **polar form** of this complex number. We now have five different ways of thinking about a complex number: the formal definition, in rectangular form, in polar form, and geometrically, using Cartesian coordinates or polar coordinates. Each of these five ways is useful in different situations, and translating between them is an essential ingredient in complex analysis. The five ways and their corresponding notation are listed in Figure 1.5. This list is not exhaustive; see, e.g., Exercise 1.21. ## 1.3 Geometric Properties From the chain of basic inequalities \[ -\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} \leq -|z| \leq \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} \leq |z| \leq \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}, \] (or, alternatively, by arguing with basic geometric properties of triangles), we obtain the inequalities \[ -|z| \leq \text{Re}(z) \leq |z| \] and \[ -|z| \leq \text{Im}(z) \leq |z|. \tag{1.16} \] The square of the absolute value has the nice property \[ |x + iy|^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2} = (x + iy)(x - iy). \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 16 Context: # COMPLEX NUMBERS | | Algebraic | Geometric | Exponential | |------------|------------------|------------------|---------------| | Formal | \(x + iy\) | Cartesian | \(re^{i\theta}\) | | | Rectangular | \(x\) | Polar | | | | \(y\) | | **Figure 1.5:** Five ways of thinking about a complex number. This is one of many reasons to give the process of passing from \(x + iy\) to \(x - iy\) a special name. ## Definition The number \(x - iy\) is the (complex) conjugate of \(x + iy\). We denote the conjugate by \[ x + iy = x - iy. \] Geometrically, conjugating \(z\) means reflecting the vector corresponding to \(z\) with respect to the real axis. The following collects some basic properties of the conjugate. ## Proposition 1.5 For any \(z_1, z_2, z_3 \in \mathbb{C}\): 1. \(z_1 \overline{z_2} = \overline{z_1 z_2}\) 2. \(\overline{z_1 z_2} = \overline{z_2} \overline{z_1}\) 3. \(\overline{\left(\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right)} = \frac{\overline{z_2}}{\overline{z_1}}\) 4. \(\overline{z} = z\) 5. \(|z| = |z|\) The proofs of these properties are easy (Exercise 1.22); once more we give a sample. ### Proof of (b) Let \(z_1 = x_1 + iy_1\) and \(z_2 = x_2 + iy_2\). Then \[ z_1 z_2 = (x_1 + iy_1)(x_2 + iy_2) = (x_1x_2 - y_1y_2) + i(x_1y_2 + y_1x_2) = \overline{z_1} \overline{z_2}. \] Image Analysis: ### 1.

In this section we collect some definitions and results concerning the topology of the plane. \[ \begin{array}{c} y \\ \text{C}(2+i,2) \\ \hspace{-30pt} \text{D}(-2, 1) \\ \hspace{80pt} 1 \\ \hspace{-30pt} x \end{array} \] **Figure 1.6:** Sample circle and disk. In Proposition 1.2, we interpreted \( |z - w| \) as the distance between the complex numbers \( z \) and \( w \), viewed as points in the plane. So if we fix a complex number \( a \) and a positive real number \( r \), then all \( z \in C \) satisfying \( |z - a| = r \) form the set of points at distance \( r \) from \( a \); this set is the circle with center \( a \) and radius \( r \), which we denote by \[ C(a, r) = \{ z \in C : |z - a| = r \} \] The inside of this circle is called the open disk with center \( a \) and radius \( r \); we use the notation \[ D(a, r) = \{ z \in C : |z - a| < r \} \] Note that \( D(a, r) \) does not include the points on \( C(a, r) \). Figure 1.6 illustrates these definitions. Next we need some terminology for talking about subsets of \( C \). **Definition.** Suppose \( G \) is a subset of \( C \). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 19 Context: # ELEMENTARY TOPOLOGY OF THE PLANE ## 1. Types of Points (a) A point \( a \in G \) is an **interior point** of \( G \) if some open disk centered at \( a \) is a subset of \( G \). (b) A point \( b \in E \) is a **boundary point** of \( G \) if every open disk centered at \( b \) contains a point in \( G \) and also a point that is not in \( G \). (c) A point \( c \in C \) is an **accumulation point** of \( G \) if every open disk centered at \( c \) contains a point of \( G \) different from \( c \). (d) A point \( d \in G \) is an **isolated point** of \( G \) if some open disk centered at \( d \) contains no point of \( G \) other than \( d \). The idea is that if you don't move too far from an interior point of \( G \) then you remain in \( G \); but a boundary point you can make an arbitrarily small move and get to a point inside \( G \) and you can also make an arbitrarily small move and get to a point outside \( G \). ## Definition A set is **open** if all its points are interior points. A set is **closed** if it contains all its boundary points. ## Example 1.18 For \( r > 0 \) and \( a \in \mathbb{C} \), the sets \( \{ z \in \mathbb{C} : |z - a| < r \} \) and \( \{ z \in \mathbb{C} : |z - a| = r \} \) are open. The closed disk \[ \overline{D[a, r]} := \{ z \in \mathbb{C} : |z - a| \leq r \} \] is an example of a closed set. A given set might be neither open nor closed. The complex plane \( \mathbb{C} \) and the empty set \( \emptyset \) are the only sets that are both open and closed. ## Definition The **boundary** \( \partial G \) of a set \( G \) is the set of all boundary points of \( G \). The interior of \( G \) is the set of all interior points of \( G \). The closure of \( G \) is the set \( \overline{G} = G \cup \partial G \). ## Example 1.19 The closure of the open disk \( D[a, r] \) is \( \overline{D[a, r]} \). The boundary of \( D[a, r] \) is the circle \( \partial D[a, r] \). ## Definition The set \( G \) is **bounded** if \( G \subset D[0, R] \) for some \( R \). One notion that is somewhat subtle in the complex domain is the idea of **connectedness**. Intuitively, a set is connected if it is "in one piece." In a set \( R \), a set is connected if and only if it is an interval, so there is little reason to discuss the matter. However, in the plane there is a vast variety of connected subsets. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 21 Context: # ELEMENTARY TOPOLOGY OF THE PLANE This definition uses the calculus notions of continuity and differentiability; that is, \( \gamma: [a, b] \to C \) being continuous means that for all \( t_0 \in [a, b] \) \[ \lim_{t \to t_0} \gamma(t) = \gamma(t_0) \] and the derivative of \( \gamma \) at \( t_0 \) is defined by \[ \gamma'(t_0) = \lim_{t \to t_0} \frac{\gamma(t) - \gamma(t_0)}{t - t_0} \] \[ \gamma_1(t) = -2 + 2e^{it}, \quad 0 \leq t \leq 2\pi \] \[ \gamma_2(t) = \begin{cases} 3 + i(t - 2) & \text{if } 0 \leq t \leq 3 \\ 6 - i + i(t - 1) & \text{if } 3 < t \leq 5 \end{cases} \] Figure 1.8: Two paths and their parameterizations: \( \gamma_1 \) is smooth and \( \gamma_2 \) is continuous and piecewise smooth. Figure 1.8 shows two examples. We remark that each path comes with an orientation, i.e., a sense of direction. For example, the path \( \gamma_1 \) in Figure 1.8 is different from \[ \gamma_1(t) = -2 + 2e^{it}, \quad 0 \leq t \leq \frac{3\pi}{2} \] even though both \( \gamma_1 \) and \( \gamma_3 \) yield the same picture; \( \gamma_1 \) features a counter-clockwise orientation, where as that of \( \gamma_2 \) is clockwise. It is a customary and practical abuse of notation to use the same letter for the path and its parameterization. We emphasize that a path must have a parameterization, and that the parameterization must be defined and continuous on a closed and bounded interval \([a, b]\). Since topologically we may identify \( C \) with \( \mathbb{R}^2 \), a path can be specified. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 22 Context: ``` # Complex Numbers by giving two continuous real-valued functions of a real variable, \( x(t) \) and \( y(t) \), and setting \( y(t) = x(t) + iy(t) \). ## Definition The path \( \gamma: [a, b] \to C \) is simple if \( \gamma(t_1) = \gamma(t_2) \) is one-to-one, with the possible exception that \( \gamma(a) = \gamma(b) \) in plain English: the path does not cross itself. A path \( \gamma: [a, b] \to C \) is closed if \( \gamma(a) = \gamma(b) \). ## Example 1.11 The unit circle \( C[0,1] \), parametrized, e.g., by \( \gamma(t) = e^{it} \), \( 0 \leq t < 2\pi \), is a simple closed path. As seems intuitively clear, any path is connected; however, a proof of this fact requires a bit more preparation in topology. The same goes for the following result, which gives a useful property of open connected sets. ## Theorem 1.12 If any two points in \( G \subset C \) can be connected by a path in \( G \), then \( G \) is connected. Conversely, if \( G \subset C \) is open and connected, then any two points of \( G \) can be connected by a path in \( G \); in fact, we can connect any two points of \( G \) by a chain of horizontal and vertical segments lying in \( G \). Here a chain of segments in \( G \) means the following: there are points \( z_{0}, z_{1}, \ldots, z_{n} \) such that \( z_{0} \) and \( z_{n} \) are the endpoints of a horizontal or vertical segment in \( G \) for all \( k = 0, 1, \ldots, n-1 \) (it is not hard to parametrize such a chain, so it determines a path). ## Example 1.13 Consider the open unit disk \( D[0, 1) \). Any two points in \( D[0, 1) \) can be connected by a chain of at most two segments in \( D[0, 1) \) and so \( D[0, 1) \) is connected. Now let \( G = (D[0, 1) \setminus \{0\}) \). This is the punctured disk obtained by removing the center from \( D[0, 1) \). Then \( G \) is open and it is connected, but now you may need more than two segments to connect points. For example, you need three segments to connect \( z_{0} \to z_{1} \to z_{2} \) since we cannot go through \( 0 \). We remark that the second part of Theorem 1.12 is not generally true if \( G \) is not open. For example, circles are connected but there is no way to connect two distinct points of a circle by a chain of segments that are subsets of the circle. A more extreme example, discussed in topology texts, is the "topologist's sine curve," which is a connected set \( S \) that contains points that cannot be connected by a path of any sort within \( S \). ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 23 Context: # Exercises ## 1.1.

Whispers make several efforts before he climbed the Mathematics in the 1860s and even then it cut the life short of this party. Now, however, any source can be looked up for a small act, and perhaps one does not appreciate the difficulty of the original account. So in mathematics, it may be found hard to realize the great initial difficulty of making a little step which may seem so natural and obvious, and it may not be surprising if such a step has been found and lost again. **Louis Nodel (1888–1972)** We will now start our study of complex functions. The fundamental concept on which all of calculus is based is that of a limit—it allows us to develop the central properties of continuity and differentiability of functions. Our goal in this chapter is to do the same for complex functions. ### 2.1 Limits and Continuity **Definition.** A (complex) function \( f \) is a map from a subset \( G \subset \mathbb{C} \) to \( \mathbb{C} \); in this situation we will write \( f : G \to \mathbb{C} \) and call \( G \) the domain of \( f \). This means that each element \( z \in G \) gets mapped to exactly one complex number, called the image of \( z \) and usually denoted by \( f(z) \). So far there is nothing that makes complex functions any more special than, say, functions from \( \mathbb{R} \) to \( \mathbb{R} \). In fact, we can construct many familiar looking functions from the standard calculus repertoire, such as \( f(z) = z \) (the identity map), \( f(z) = z^2 + 1 \), or \( f(z) = \frac{1}{z} \). The former three could be defined on all of \( \mathbb{C} \), whereas for the latter we have to exclude the origin \( z = 0 \) from the domain. On the other hand, we could construct some functions that make use of a certain representation of \( z \), for example, \( f(x, y) = x - 2iy \), \( f(x, y) = y - i \), or \( f(z, \varphi) = 2r e^{i\varphi} \). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 31 Context: # LIMITS AND CONTINUITY Just as in the real case, the limit \( w \) is unique if it exists (Exercise 2.3). It is often useful to investigate limits by restricting the way the point \( z \) approaches \( w \). The following result is a direct consequence of the definition. ## Proposition 2.2 Suppose \( f: G \rightarrow \mathbb{C} \) and \( \lim_{z \to w} f(z) = w_0 \), where \( w_0 \) is an accumulation point of \( G \). If \( f \) is the restriction of \( g \) to \( G \) then \( \lim_{z \to w} f(z) \) exists and has the value \( w_0 \). The definition of limit in the complex domain has to be treated with a little more care than its real companion; this is illustrated by the following example. ## Example 2.3 The limit of \( z^2 \) as \( z \to 0 \) does not exist. To see this, we try to compute this limit as \( z \to 0 \) on the real and on the imaginary axis. In the first case, we can write \( z = x \) where \( x \in \mathbb{R} \), and then \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{z} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x^2} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x} = 1. \] In the second case, we write \( z = iy \) where \( y \in \mathbb{R} \), and then \[ \lim_{y \to 0} \frac{1}{iy} = \lim_{y \to 0} \frac{-i}{y} = -1. \] So we get a different "limit" depending on the direction from which we approach \( 0 \). Proposition 2.2 then implies that the limit of \( z^2 \) as \( z \to 0 \) does not exist. On the other hand, the following usual limit rules are valid for complex functions; the proofs of these rules are everything but trivial and make for nice practice (Exercise 2.4); as usual, we give a sample proof. ## Proposition 2.4 Let \( f \) and \( g \) be complex functions with domain \( G \), let \( w \) be an accumulation point of \( G \), and let \( c \in \mathbb{C} \). If \( \lim_{z \to w} f(z) \) and \( \lim_{z \to w} g(z) \) exist, then 1. \( \lim_{z \to w} (f(z) + g(z)) = \lim_{z \to w} f(z) + \lim_{z \to w} g(z) \) 2. \( \lim_{z \to w} (f(z) g(z)) = \lim_{z \to w} f(z) \cdot \lim_{z \to w} g(z) \) 3. \( \lim_{z \to w} \left( \frac{f(z)}{g(z)} \right) = \frac{\lim_{z \to w} f(z)}{\lim_{z \to w} g(z)} \) where in the last identity we also require that \( \lim_{z \to w} g(z) \neq 0 \). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 32 Context: ``` # Differentiation Proof of **Theorem**. Assume that \( x_0 \in G \) (otherwise there is nothing to prove), and let \( L = \lim_{x \to x_0} f(x) \) and \( M = \lim_{x \to x_0} g(x) \). Then we know that given \( \epsilon > 0 \), we can find \( \delta_1, \delta_2 > 0 \) such that \[ 0 < |x - x_0| < \delta_1 \implies |f(x) - L| < \frac{\epsilon}{2} \] and \[ 0 < |x - x_0| < \delta_2 \implies |g(x) - M| < \frac{\epsilon}{2}. \] Thus, choosing \( \delta = \min(\delta_1, \delta_2) \), we infer that \( 0 < |x - x_0| < \delta \) implies \[ |f(x) + g(x) - (L + M)| \leq |f(x) - L| + |g(x) - M| < \epsilon. \] Here we used the triangle inequality (Proposition 1.6). This proves that \[ \lim_{x \to x_0} (f(x) + g(x)) = L + M, \] which was our claim. Because the definition of the limit is somewhat elaborate, the following fundamental definition looks almost trivial. ## Definition Suppose \( f : G \to \mathbb{C} \). If \( x_0 \in G \) and either \( x_0 \) is an isolated point of \( G \) or \[ \lim_{x \to x_0} f(x) = f(x_0) \] then \( f \) is continuous at \( x_0 \). More generally, \( f \) is continuous on \( E \subset G \) if it is continuous at every \( x \in E \). However, in almost all proofs using continuity it is necessary to interpret this in terms of \( \epsilon \) and \( \delta \). ## Definition Suppose \( f : G \to \mathbb{C} \) and \( x_0 \in G \). Then \( f \) is continuous at \( x_0 \) if, for every positive real number \( \epsilon \) there is a positive real number \( \delta > 0 \) such that \[ |f(x) - f(x_0)| < \epsilon \quad \text{for all } x \in E \text{ satisfying } |x - x_0| < \delta. \] See Exercise 2.11 for a proof that these definitions are equivalent. ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 33 Context: # LIMITS AND CONTINUITY ## Example 2.5 We already proved (in Example 2.1) that the function \( f : C \to C \) given by \( f(x) = x^2 \) is continuous at \( x = 1 \). You're invited (Exercise 2.8) to extend our proof to show that, in fact, this function is continuous on \( C \). On the other hand, let \( g : C \to C \) be given by \[ g(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{x} & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 1 & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases} \] In Example 2.3 we proved that \( g \) is not continuous at \( x = 0 \). However, this is its only point of discontinuity (Exercise 2.9). Just as in the real case, we can "take the limit inside" a continuous function, by considering composition of functions. ## Definition The image of the function \( g : G \to C \) is the set \( \{ g(x) : x \in G \} \). If the image of \( g \) is contained in the domain of another function \( f : H \to C \), we define the composition \( f \circ g : G \to C \) through \[ (f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)). \] ## Proposition 2.6 Let \( g : G \to C \) with image contained in \( H \), and let \( f : H \to C \). Suppose \( x_n \) is an accumulation point of \( G \), \( \lim_{n \to \infty} g(x_n) = w_0 \in H \), and \( f \) is continuous at \( w_0 \). Then \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} f(g(x_n)) = f\left(\lim_{n \to \infty} g(x_n)\right), \] in short, \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} f(g(x_n)) = f\left( \lim_{n \to \infty} g(x_n) \right). \] **Proof.** Given \( \epsilon > 0 \), we know there is \( \delta > 0 \) such that \[ |w - w_0| < \delta \implies |f(w) - f(w_0)| < \epsilon. \] For this, we also know there is a \( \eta > 0 \) such that \[ 0 < |x - z_0| < \eta \implies |g(x) - w| < \delta. \] Stringing these two implications together gives that \[ 0 < |x - z_0| < \eta \implies |f(g(x)) - f(w_0)| < \epsilon. \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 36 Context: # Differentiation The basic properties for derivatives are similar to those we know from real calculus. In fact, the following rules follow mostly from properties of the limit. ## Proposition 2.10 Suppose \( f \) and \( g \) are differentiable at \( c \in \mathbb{C} \) and \( g \) is differentiable at \( g(c) \). Then: 1. \( (f + g)'(z) = f'(z) + g'(z) \) for any \( z \in \mathbb{C} \) 2. \( (f \cdot g)'(z) = f'(z)g(z) + f(z)g'(z) \) 3. \( \left( \frac{f}{g} \right)'(z) = \frac{f'(z)g(z) - f(z)g'(z)}{(g(z))^2} \) provided that \( g(z) \neq 0 \) 4. \( (z^n)' = n z^{n-1} \) for any nonzero integer \( n \) 5. \( g \) is continuous at \( c \) 6. \( (h \circ g)'(z) = h'(g(z))g'(z) \) **Proof of (2):** \[ (fg)'(z) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(z + h)g(z + h) - f(z)g(z)}{h} \] \[ = \lim_{h \to 0} \left( f(z + h)g(z + h) - f(z)g(z + h) + f(z)g(z + h) - f(z)g(z) \right) \frac{1}{h} \] \[ = \lim_{h \to 0} \left( \frac{f(z + h) - f(z)}{h}g(z + h) + f(z)\frac{g(z + h) - g(z)}{h} \right) \] \[ = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(z + h) - f(z)}{h} \cdot g(z) + f(z) \cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{g(z + h) - g(z)}{h} \] \[ = f'(z)g(z) + f(z)g'(z) \] Note that we have used the definition of the derivative and Proposition 2.4(a) & (b) (the addition and multiplication rules for limits). A prominent application of the differentiation rules is the composition of a complex function \( f(z) \) with a path \( \gamma(t) \). The proof of the following result gives the reverse. ## Proposition 2.11 Suppose \( f \) is holomorphic at \( c \in \mathbb{C} \) with \( f(\gamma(0)) \) and \( \gamma_1 \) and \( \gamma_2 \) are two smooth paths that pass through \( c \), making an angle of \(\theta\) with each other. Then if \( \gamma_1 \) transforms \( z \) and \( \gamma_2 \) into smooth paths which meet \( f(\gamma) \), the transformed paths make an angle of \( \alpha \) with each other. In words, a holomorphic function with nonzero derivative preserves angles. Functions that preserve angles in this way are called conformal. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 40 Context: # Differentiation (and an analogous identity for \( x \)). Functions with continuous second partials satisfying this partial differential equation on a region \( G \subset \mathbb{C} \) (though not necessarily (2.3)) are called harmonic on \( G \); we will study such functions in Chapter 6. Again, as we will see later, if \( f \) is holomorphic in an open set then the partials of any order of \( u \) and \( v \) exist; hence we will show that the real and imaginary parts of a function that is holomorphic in an open set are harmonic on that set. ## Example 2.14 We revisit Example 2.7 and again consider \( f: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} \) given by \[ f(z) = z^2 = (x + iy)^2 = (x^2 - 3y^2) + i(3x^2 - y^2). \] Thus, \[ f_x(z) = 3x^2 - 3y^2 + 6ixy \] and \[ f_y(z) = -6xy - 3y^2 - 3ix^2 \] are continuous on \( C \) and satisfy \( f_x = \overline{f_y} \). Thus by Theorem 2.13(b), \( f(z) = z^2 \) is entire. ## Example 2.15 Revisiting Example 2.8 (you saw that coming, didn't you?), we consider \( f: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} \) given by \[ f(z) = (z^2) = (x - iy)^2 = x^2 - y^2 - 2iy. \] Now, \[ f_x(z) = 2x - 2iy \] and \[ f_y(z) = -2y - 2ix, \] which satisfy \( f_y = \overline{f_x} \) only when \( z = 0 \). (The contrapositive of Theorem 2.13(a)) thus implies that \( f(z) = (z^2) \) is not differentiable on \( C \setminus \{0\} \). ### Proof of Theorem 2.13 (a) If \( f \) is differentiable at \( c = (x_0, y_0) \) then \[ f'(x_0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x_0 + h) - f(x_0)}{h}. \] As we know by now, we must get the same result if we restrict \( z \) to be on the real axis and if we restrict it to be on the imaginary axis. In the first case, let \( h = \Delta x \) and \[ f'(x_0) = \lim_{\Delta x \to 0} \frac{f(x_0 + \Delta x) - f(x_0)}{\Delta x} = \lim_{\Delta x \to 0} \frac{f(x_0 + \Delta x, y_0)}{\Delta x} \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x_0, y_0). \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 42 Context: ```markdown 36 # Differentiation We cannot do something equivalent for the first term in (2.5), since now both \( \Delta x \) and \( \Delta y \) are involved, and both change as \( \Delta x \to 0 \). Instead, we apply the Mean-Value Theorem A.2 for real functions\(^1\) to the real and imaginary parts \( u(x, y) \) and \( v(x, y) \) of \( f(z) \). Theorem A.2 gives real numbers \( \xi \) and \( \eta \) such that \[ \frac{u(x_0 + \Delta x, y_0 + \Delta y) - u(x_0, y_0)}{\Delta y} = u_y(x_0, y_0 + \eta) \] and \[ \frac{v(x_0 + \Delta x, y_0 + \Delta y) - v(x_0, y_0)}{\Delta y} = v_y(x_0, y_0 + \xi). \] Thus, \[ \frac{f(x_0 + \Delta x + i \Delta y) - f(x_0 + i y)}{\Delta y} = \frac{u(x_0 + \Delta x, y_0 + \Delta y) - u(x_0, y_0)}{\Delta y} - iv_x(x_0, y_0) \] \[ = \left( \frac{u(x_0 + \Delta x, y_0 + \Delta y) - u(x_0, y_0)}{\Delta y} \right) - i v_y(x_0, y_0) + \left( \frac{u(x_0 + \Delta x, y_0 + \Delta y) - u(x_0, y_0)}{\Delta y} - iv_y(x_0, y_0) \right) = u_y(x_0, y_0) - iv_y(x_0, y_0). \tag{2.6} \] Because \( u \) and \( v \) are continuous at \( (x_0, y_0) \), \[ \lim_{\Delta y \to 0} u(x_0 + \Delta x, y_0 + \Delta y) = u(x_0, y_0) \] and \[ \lim_{\Delta y \to 0} v(x_0 + \Delta x, y_0 + \Delta y) = v(x_0, y_0), \] and so (2.6) goes to \( \Delta z \to 0 \), which we set out to prove. ## 2.4 Constant Functions As a simple application of the definition of the derivative of a complex function, we consider functions that have a derivative of 0.

Thus there is some number \( y_0 \in \mathbb{R} \) such that the imaginary part of any \( z \in H \) is \( y_0 \). Now consider the real part \( u(x) \) of the function \( f \) for \( x \in H \). Since \( \text{Im}(z) = y_0 \) is constant on \( H \), we can consider \( f(z) = u(x) + iv(y) \) to be just a function of \( x \) for \( z = x + iy \). By assumption, \( f(z) = 0 \) for \( z \in H \) we have \( u(x) = \text{Re}(f(z)) = 0 \). Thus, by Proposition 2.16, \( u(x) \) is constant on \( H \). We can argue the same way to see that the imaginary part \( v(y) \) of \( f(z) \) is constant on \( H \), since \( v(y) = \text{Im}(f(z)) = 0 \) on \( H \). Since both the real and imaginary parts of \( f(z) \) are constant on \( H \), the function \( f(z) \) itself is constant on \( H \). This same argument works for vertical segments, interchanging the roles of the real and imaginary parts. We have thus proved that if \( f \) is constant along horizontal segments and along vertical segments in \( G \), and if \( x \) and \( y \) are two points in \( G \) that can be connected by a path composed of horizontal and vertical segments, we conclude that \( f(x) = f(y) \). But any two points of a region may be connected by finitely many such segments by Theorem 1.12, so \( f \) has the same value at any two points of \( G \), thus proving the theorem.

En route to an example of such, we introduce some terminology. Special cases of Mӧbius transformations are translations \( f(z) = z + b \), dilations \( f(z) = az \), and inversions \( f(z) = \frac{1}{z} \). The next result says that if we understand those three special Mӧbius transformations, we understand them all. ## Proposition 3.3 Suppose \( f(z) = \frac{az+b}{cz+d} \) is a linear fractional transformation. If \( c = 0 \), then \[ f(z) = \frac{a}{d} z + \frac{b}{d} \] and if \( c \neq 0 \), then \[ f(z) = \frac{bz - ad}{cz} + \frac{1}{c} \]. In particular, every linear fractional transformation is a composition of translations, dilations, and inversions. **Proof.** Simplify. ## Theorem 3.4 Mӧbius transformations map circles and lines into circles and lines. ## Example 3.5 Continuing Example 3.2, consider \( f(z) = \frac{1}{z} \). For \( z \in \mathbb{R} \), \[ f(\overline{z}) = \frac{e^{-1}}{i \overline{z} + 1} = \frac{(e^{-1}-1)(\overline{z} + 1)}{|e| + 1|^2} = \frac{e^{-c}}{|e| + 1|^2} \cdot \frac{2lm(e)}{|e| + 1|^2} = \frac{2sinp}{|e| + 1|^2}, \] which is a real number. Thus, Theorem 3.4 implies that \( f \) maps the unit circle to the real line. **Proof of Theorem 3.4:** Transformations and dilations certainly map circles and lines into circles and lines, so by Proposition 3.3, we only have to prove the statement for the transformation for the inversion \( f(z) = \frac{1}{z} \). The equation for a circle centered at \( x_0 + iy_0 \) with radius \( r \) can be transformed to \[ a(x^2 + y^2) + \beta x + \gamma y + 8 = 0 \quad (3.1). \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 52 Context: # Examples of Functions For real numbers \( a, b, \gamma, y, r \) and \( s \) that satisfy \( \beta^2 + \gamma^2 > 4\alpha \) (Exercise 3.3). The form (3.1) is more convenient for us, because it includes the possibility that the equation describes a line (precisely when \( a = 0 \)). Suppose \( x + iy \) satisfies (3.1); we need to prove that \( x + iy = \frac{x - iy}{x^2 + y^2} \) satisfies a similar equation. \[ u + iv = \frac{x - iy}{x^2 + y^2}. \] We can rewrite (3.1) as: \[ 0 = \alpha + \frac{y}{x^2 + y^2} + \frac{8}{x^2 + y^2}. \] This leads to: \[ 0 = \alpha + \beta u + \gamma (a + b + r^2). \tag{3.2} \] But this equation, in conjunction with Exercise 3.3, says that \( x + iy \) lies on a circle or line. ## 3.2 Infinity and the Cross Ratio In the context of Möbius transformations, it is useful to introduce a formal way of saying that a function \( f \) "blows up" in absolute value, and this gives rise to a notion of infinity. **Definition.** Suppose \( f : G \to \mathbb{C} \). 1. \( \lim_{x \to a} f(x) = \infty \) means that for every \( M > 0 \) we can find \( \delta > 0 \) so that, for all \( x \in G \) satisfying \( 0 < |x - a| < \delta \), we have \( |f(x)| > M \). 2. \( \lim_{x \to b} f(x) = L \) means that for every \( \epsilon > 0 \) we can find \( N > 0 \) so that, for all \( x \in G \) satisfying \( |x| > N \), we have \( |f(x) - L| < \epsilon \). 3. \( \lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = \infty \) means that for every \( M > 0 \) we can find \( N > 0 \) so that, for all \( x \in G \) satisfying \( |x| > N \), we have \( |f(x)| > M \). In the first definition we require that \( a \) be an accumulation point of \( G \), while in the second and third we require that \( b \) be an "extended accumulation point" of \( G \), in the sense that for every \( B > 0 \) there is some \( z \in G \) with \( |z| > B \). As in Section 2.1, the limit, in any of these senses, is unique if it exists. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 57 Context: # Stereographic Projection To begin, we think of \(C\) as the \((x,y)\)-plane in \(\mathbb{R}^3\), that is, \(C = \{(x,y,0) \in \mathbb{R}^3\}\). To describe stereographic projection, we will be less concerned with actual complex numbers \(x + iy\) and more concerned with their coordinates. Consider the unit sphere \[ S^2 = \{(x,y,z) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1\}. \] The sphere and the complex plane intersect in the set \(\{(x,y,0) : x^2 + y^2 = 1\}\), which corresponds to the equator on the sphere and the unit circle on the complex plane, as depicted in Figure 3.1. Let \(N = (0,0,1)\), the north pole of \(S^2\), and let \(S = (0,0,-1)\), the south pole. ![Figure 3.1: Setting up stereographic projection.](#) ## Definition The stereographic projection of \(S^2\) to \(\hat{C}\) from \(N\) is the map \(\varphi: S^2 \setminus \{N\} \to \hat{C}\) defined as follows. For any point \(P \in S^2 \setminus \{N\}\), let \(x\) be the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\) and let \(l\) be the line through \(N\) and \(P\). The \(z\)-coordinate of \(P\) is strictly less than \(1\), the line through \(N\) and \(P\) intersects \(C\) in exactly one point \(Q\). Define \(\varphi(P) = Q\). We also declare that \(\varphi(N) = \infty\). ## Proposition 3.14 The map \(\varphi\) is given by \[ \varphi(x,y,z) = \left( \frac{x}{1-z}, \frac{y}{1-z}, 0 \right) \quad \text{if } z \neq 1, \] \[ \varphi(x,y,z) = \infty \quad \text{if } z = 1. \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 60 Context: # Examples of Functions Project it to the plane by the stereographic projection \( \pi \), apply \( f \) to the point that results, and then pull this point back to \( S^2 \) by \( \pi^{-1} \). We know \( \varphi(x,y,z) = \left( \frac{x}{1-z}, \frac{y}{1-z} \right) \) which we now regard as the complex number \[ \rho + i \gamma = \frac{-x}{1-z} + i \frac{y}{1-z}. \] We know from a previous calculation that \( p^2 + q^2 = \frac{1}{z^2} \), which gives \( x^2 + y^2 = (1 + z)(1 - z) \). Thus, \[ f\left( \frac{x}{1-z} + i \frac{y}{1-z} \right) = \frac{1 - z}{x + iy} = \frac{1 - z}{(1 - z) x + i (1 - z) y} = \frac{1 - 2X - iY}{x^2 + y^2}. \] Rather than plug this result into the formulas for \( \pi^* \), we can just ask what triple of numbers will be mapped to this particular pair using the formulas \( \varphi(x,y,z) = \left( \frac{x}{1-z}, \frac{y}{1-z} \right) \). Thus, we have shown that the effect of \( f \) on \( S^2 \) is to take \( (x,y,z) \) to \( (x, -y, -z) \). This is a rotation around the \( x \)-axis by 180 degrees. We now have a second argument that \( f(z) \) takes circles and lines to circles and lines. A circle in \( C \) is taken to a circle on \( S^2 \) by \( \pi \). Then \( f(z) = \frac{1}{z} \) rotates the sphere which certainly takes circles to circles. Now \( g \) takes circles back to circles and lines. We can also say that the circles that go to lines under \( f(z) = \frac{1}{z} \) are the circles through 0 because 0 is mapped to \( (0, 0) \) under \( \pi \), and so a circle through 0 in \( C \) goes to a circle through the south pole on \( S^2 \). Now 180-degree rotation about the \( x \)-axis takes the south pole to the north pole, and our circle is now passing through \( N \). But we know that \( g \) will take this circle to a line in \( C \). We end by mentioning that there is, in fact, a way of putting the complex metric on \( S^2 \). It is certainly not the (finite) distance function induced by \( \pi \). Indeed, the origin in the complex plane corresponds to the south pole of \( S^2 \). We have to be able to arbitrarily far away from the origin in \( C \), so the complex distance function has to increasingly grow with the \( z \)-coordinate. The closest points are to the north pole \( N \) corresponding to 0 in \( C \), the larger their distance to the origin, and to each other! In this light, a 'line' in the Riemann sphere \( S^2 \) corresponds to a circle in \( S^2 \) through \( N \). In the regular sphere, the circle has finite lengths, but as a line on the Riemann sphere with the complex metric, it has infinite length. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 61 Context: # Exponential and Trigonometric Functions ## 3.4 Exponential and Trigonometric Functions To define the complex exponential function, we once more borrow concepts from calculus, namely the real exponential \( e^x \) and the real sine and cosine, and we finally make sense of the notation \( e^{x + iy} = e^x (\cos y + i \sin y) \). ### Definition The **complex exponential function** is defined for \( z = x + iy \) as: \[ \exp(z) = e^x (\cos y + i \sin y) = e^z. \] This definition seems a bit arbitrary. Our first justification is that all exponential rules that are used to from real numbers carry over to the complex case. They mainly follow from Proposition 1.3 and are collected in the following. ### Proposition 3.16 For all \( z_1, z_2 \in \mathbb{C} \): (a) \(\exp(z_1) \exp(z_2) = \exp(z_1 + z_2)\) (b) \(\exp(-z) = \frac{1}{\exp(z)}\) (c) \(\exp(iz) \neq 0\) (d) \(\exp(z) = \exp(\text{Re}(z))\) (e) \(\exp(z + 2\pi i) = \exp(z)\) (f) \(\exp(0) = \exp(z)\). Identity (f) is very special and has no counterpart for the real exponential function. It says that the complex exponential function is periodic with period \( 2\pi i \). This has many interesting consequences; one that may not seem too pleasant at first sight is the fact that the complex exponential function is not one-to-one. Identity (f) is not only remarkable, but we invite you to meditate on its proof below; it gives a strong indication that our definition of exp is reasonable. We also note that (f) implies that \( \exp \) is infinite. We leave the proof of Proposition 3.16 as Exercise 3.34 but give one example. ### Proof of (f) The partial derivatives of \( f(z) = \exp(z) \) are: \[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = e^{x + iy} \cos y \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = e^{x + iy} (-\sin y + i \cos y). \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 62 Context: # EXAMPLES OF FUNCTIONS They are continuous in \( \mathbb{C} \) and satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equation (2.2): \[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} (z) = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} (z) \] for all \( z \in \mathbb{C} \). Thus Theorem 2.13 says that \( f(z) = \exp(z) \) is entire with derivative \[ f'(z) = \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} (z) = \exp(z). \] We should make sure that the complex exponential function specializes to the real exponential function for real arguments: indeed, if \( z = x \in \mathbb{R} \), then \[ \exp(x) = e^x = \left( \cos(0) + i\sin(0) \right) = e^x. \] The trigonometric functions—sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, etc.—also have complex analogues; however, they do not play the same prominent role as in the real case. In fact, we can define them as merely being special combinations of the exponential function. ## Definition The (complex) sine and cosine are defined as: \[ \sin z = \frac{1}{2i} \left( \exp(iz) - \exp(-iz) \right) \] and \[ \cos z = \frac{1}{2} \left( \exp(iz) + \exp(-iz) \right), \] respectively. The tangent and cotangent are defined as: \[ \tan z = \frac{\sin z}{\cos z} = \frac{e^{iz} - e^{-iz}}{i(e^{iz} + e^{-iz}) - 1} \] and \[ \cot z = \frac{\cos z}{\sin z} = \frac{e^{iz} + 1}{e^{iz} - e^{-iz}}, \] respectively. Note that to write tangent and cotangent in terms of the exponential function, we used the fact that \( \exp(iy) - \exp(-iy) = 0 \). Because \( \exp \) is entire, so are sine and cosine. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 63 Context: # Exponential and Trigonometric Functions ![Image properties of the exponential function](path/to/image.png) Figure 3.2: Image properties of the exponential function.

Not too surprisingly, the following properties follow mostly from Proposition 3.16. ## Proposition 3.17. For all \( z_1, z_2 \in \mathbb{C} \): \[ \begin{align*} \sin(-z) &= -\sin z & \cos(-z) &= \cos z \\ \sin(z + 2\pi) &= \sin z & \cos(z + 2\pi) &= \cos z \\ \tan(z + \pi) &= \tan z & \cot(z + \pi) &= \cot z \\ \sin(z + \frac{\pi}{2}) &= \cos z & \cos(z + \frac{\pi}{2}) &= -\sin z \\ \cos(z_1 + z_2) &= \cos z_1 \cos z_2 - \sin z_1 \sin z_2 \\ \sin(z_1 + z_2) &= \sin z_1 \cos z_2 + \cos z_1 \sin z_2 \\ \cos^2 z + \sin^2 z &= 1 & \frac{d}{dz} \sin z &= \cos z \\ \frac{d}{dz} \cos z &= -\sin z \end{align*} \] Finally, we end with caution: unlike in the real case, the complex sine and cosine are not bounded—consider, for example, \(\sin(y)\) as \(y \to \infty\). We end this section with a remark on hyperbolic trigonometric functions. The hyperbolic sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent are defined as in the real case: ## Definition: \[ \begin{align*} \sinh z &= \frac{1}{2} \left( e^{z} - e^{-z} \right) & \cosh z &= \frac{1}{2} \left( e^{z} + e^{-z} \right) \\ \tanh z &= \frac{\sinh z}{\cosh z} = \frac{e^{z} - e^{-z}}{e^{z} + e^{-z}} & \coth z &= \frac{1}{\tanh z} = \frac{\cosh z}{\sinh z} - 1 \end{align*} \] As such, they are yet more special combinations of the exponential function. They still satisfy the identities you already know, e.g., \[ \frac{d}{dz} \sinh z = \cosh z \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{d}{dz} \cosh z = \sinh z. \] Moreover, they are related to the trigonometric functions via: \[ \sinh(iz) = i \sin z \quad \text{and} \quad \cosh(iz) = \cos z. \] #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 69 Context: # LOGARITHMS AND COMPLEX EXPONENTIALS **3.9** Fix \( z \in \mathbb{C} \) with \( |z| < 1 \) and consider \[ f(z) = \frac{z - a}{1 - az}. \] (a) Show that \( f(z) \) is a Möbius transformation.

In a quite concrete sense, the rest of this book will reap the fruits that these two theorems provide us with. This chapter starts with a few highlights. ### 5.1 Variations of a Theme We now derive formulas for \( f' \) and \( f'' \) which resemble Cauchy’s Integral Formula (Theorem 4.27). **Theorem 5.1** Suppose \( f \) is holomorphic in the region \( G \) and \( \gamma \) is a positively oriented, simple, closed, piecewise smooth, \( G \)-contractible path. If \( w \) is inside \( \gamma \) then \[ f'(w) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{\gamma} \frac{f(z)}{(z - w)^2} \, dz. \] Moreover, \( f''(w) \) exists, and \[ f''(w) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{\gamma} \frac{f(z)}{(z - w)^3} \, dz. \] **Proof:** The idea of our proof is very similar to that of Cauchy’s Integral Formula (Theorems 4.24 and 4.27).

For starters, it can be used to compute certain integrals. ## Example 5.2 \[ \int_{C(0,1)} \frac{\sin(z)}{z^2} \, dz = \frac{2\pi i}{2\pi} \left. \frac{d}{dx} \sin(z) \right|_{z=0} = 2\pi i \cos(0) = 2\pi i. \] ![Figure 5.1: The integration paths in Example 5.3.](path/to/figure5.1.png) ## Example 5.3 To compute the integral \[ \int_{C(0,2)} \frac{dz}{z^2(z-1)}, \] we could employ a partial fractions expansion similar to the one in Example 4.23, or moving the integration path similar to the one in Exercise 4.29. To exhibit an alternative, we split up the integration path as illustrated in Figure 5.1: we introduce an additional path that separates 0 and 1. If we integrate on these two new closed paths (\(Y_1\) and \(Y_2\)) counterclockwise, the two contributions along the new path will cancel each other. The effect is that we transformed an integral for which two singularities were inside the integration path into a sum of two integrals, each of which has only one singularity inside the integration path; these new integrals will... #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 106 Context: # Consequences of Cauchy’s Theorem We know how to deal with, using Theorems 4.24 and 5.1: \[ \int_{\mathcal{C}(0)} \frac{dz}{z^2(z-1)} = \int_{\mathcal{C}(1)} \frac{dz}{z(z-1)^2} = 2\pi i \left( \frac{1}{z} \bigg|_{z=1} + \frac{1}{(-1)^2} \right) = 2\pi i \left( 1 + \frac{1}{2} \right) = 0. \] ## Example 5.4 \[ \int_{\mathcal{C}(1)} \frac{\cos(z)}{z^3} dz = \int_{\mathcal{C}(1)} \frac{d^3}{dz^3} \cos(z) \bigg|_{z=0} = \pi i(-\cos(0)) = -\pi i. \] Theorem 5.1 has another powerful consequence; just from knowing that \( f \) is holomorphic in \( G \), we know of the existence of \( f'' \), that \( f' \) is also holomorphic in \( G \). Repeating this argument for \( f' \), \( f'' \), etc., shows that all derivatives \( f^{(n)} \) exist and are holomorphic. We can translate this into the language of partial derivatives; since the Cauchy–Riemann equations (Theorem 2.13) show that any sequence of partial differentiations of \( f \) results in a constant times \( f^{(n)} \). ## Corollary 5.5 If \( f \) is differentiable in a region \( G \) then \( f \) is infinitely differentiable in \( G \), and all partials of \( f \) with respect to \( x \) and \( y \) exist and are continuous. ## 5.2 Antiderivatives Again Theorem 4.15 gives us an antiderivative for a function that has zero integrals over closed paths in a given region. Now that we have Corollary 5.5, mediating just a bit more over Theorem 4.15 gives a converse of sorts to Corollary 4.20. ### Corollary 5.6 (Morera's Theorem) Suppose \( f \) is continuous in the region \( G \) and \[ \int_{C} f = 0 \] for all piecewise smooth closed paths \( C \subset G \). Then \( f \) is holomorphic in \( G \).

When an integral depends only on the endpoints of the path, the integral is called path independent. Example 41 shows that this situation is quite special; it also says that the function \( z^2 \) does not have an antiderivative in, for example, the region \( \{ z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| < 2 \} \). (Actually, the function \( z^2 \) does not have an antiderivative in any nonempty region — see Exercise 5.7.) ## 5.3 Taking Cauchy’s Formula to the Limit Many beautiful applications of Cauchy’s Integral Formulas (such as Theorems 4.27 and 5.1) arise from considerations of the limiting behavior of the integral as the path gets arbitrarily large. The first and most famous application concerns the roots of polynomials. As a preparation we prove the following inequality, which is generally quite useful. It says that for \( | z | \) large enough, a polynomial \( p(z) \) of degree \( a_n \) tends to behave almost like a constant times \( z^{a_n} \). ### Proposition 5.10 Suppose \( p(z) \) is a polynomial of degree \( a_n \) with leading coefficient \( a_n \). Then there is a real number \( R \) such that \[ \frac{1}{2} | z |^{a_n} \leq | p(z) | \leq 2 | a_n | | z |^{a_n} \] for all \( z \) satisfying \( | z | \geq R \). **Proof:** Since \( p(z) \) has degree \( a_n \), its leading coefficient \( a_n \) is not zero, and we can factor out \( a_n z^{a_n} \): \[ | p(z) | = | a_n z^{a_n} + a_{n-1} z^{a_n-1} + \ldots + a_0 | = | a_n | \cdot \left| z^{a_n} \left(1 + \frac{a_{n-1}}{a_n} \frac{1}{z} + \ldots + \frac{a_0}{a_n} \frac{1}{z^{a_n}} \right) \right|. \] Then the term inside the last factor has limit as \( z \to \infty \) (by Exercise 3.12), and so its modulus is between \( \frac{1}{2} \) and \( 2 \) as long as \( | z | \) is large enough. ## Theorem 5.11 (Fundamental Theorem of Algebra) Every nonconstant polynomial has a root in \( \mathbb{C} \). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 109 Context: ```markdown # Taking Cauchy’s Formulas to the Limit ## Proof Suppose (by way of contradiction) that \( p(z) \) does not have any roots, that is, \( p(z) \neq 0 \) for all \( z \in \mathbb{C} \). Then \( \frac{1}{p(z)} \) is entire, and so Cauchy’s Integral Formula (Theorem 4.24) gives \[ \frac{1}{p(0)} = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{\mathcal{C}(0, R)} \frac{p'(z)}{p(z)} \, dz, \quad \text{for any } R > 0. \] Let \( d \) be the degree of \( p(z) \) and \( a_k \) its leading coefficient. Propositions 4.6(d) and 5.10 allow us to estimate, for sufficiently large \( R \): \[ \left| \frac{1}{p(0)} \right| = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{\mathcal{C}(0, R)} \frac{1}{|p(z)|} \, |dz| \leq \frac{1}{2\pi} \cdot \frac{1}{\text{ext } |a_k| R^{d}} \cdot |2\pi R| = \frac{2 |a_k|}{R^{d}}. \] The left-hand side is independent of \( R \), while the right-hand side can be made arbitrarily small (by choosing \( R \) sufficiently large), and so we conclude that \( \frac{1}{p(0)} = 0 \), which is impossible. ## Theorem 5.11 Theorem 5.11 implies that any polynomial \( p \) can be factored into linear terms of the form \( z - a \) where \( a \) is a root of \( p \) as we can apply the corollary, after getting a root to \( z^n = 0 \) (which is again a polynomial by the division algorithm), etc. (see also Exercise 5.11). A compact reformulation of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (Theorem 5.11) is to say that \( \mathbb{C} \) is algebraically closed in contrast, \( \mathbb{R} \) is not algebraically closed. ### Example 5.12 The polynomial \( p(z) = z^4 + 5z^2 + 3 \) has no roots in \( \mathbb{R} \). The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (Theorem 5.11) states that \( p \) must have a root (in fact, four roots) in \( \mathbb{C} \): \[ p(z) = (z^2 + 1)(z^2 + 3) = (z + i)(z - i)(\sqrt{3} + z)(\sqrt{3} - z) \quad \Box \] Another powerful consequence of Theorem 5.1 is the following result, which again has no counterpart in real analysis (consider, for example, the ratio test). ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 112 Context: # Exercises ## 5.1 Compute the following integrals, where \(\square\) is the boundary of the square with vertices at \(\pm 4i\), positively oriented: (a) \(\int_{\square} \frac{e^{z^2}}{z^2} \, dz\) (b) \(\int_{\square} \frac{z^3}{(x - \pi^2)} \, dz\) (c) \(\int_{\square} \frac{\sin(2z)}{(z - \pi)^2} \, dz\) (d) \(\int_{\square} \frac{e^{z} \cos(z)}{(x - \pi)} \, dz\) ## 5.2 Prove the formula for \(f^{(n)}\) in Theorem 5.1. *Hint: Modify the proof of the integral formula for \(f^{(n)}(w)\) as follows:* (a) Write a difference quotient for \(f^{(n)}(w)\), and use the formula for \(f^{(n)}(w)\) in Theorem 5.1 to convert this difference quotient into an integral of \(f(z)\) divided by some polynomial.

Jacques Hadamard (1865–1963) We will now spend a short while on certain functions defined on subsets of the complex plane that are real valued, namely those functions that are harmonic in some region. The main motivation for studying harmonic functions is that the partial differential equation they satisfy is very common in the physical sciences. Their definition briefly showed its face in Chapter 2, but we study them only now in more detail, since we have more machinery at our disposal. This machinery comes from complex-valued functions, which are, nevertheless, intimately connected to harmonic functions. ### 6.1 Definition and Basic Properties Recall from Section 2.3 the definition of a harmonic function: **Definition.** Let \( G \subset \mathbb{C} \) be a region. A function \( u : G \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is harmonic in \( G \) if it has continuous second partials in \( G \) and satisfies the Laplace* equation \[ u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0. \] **Example 6.1.** The function \( u(x, y) = xy \) is harmonic in \( C \) since \( u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0 + 0 = 0. \) **Example 6.2.** The function \( u(x, y) = e^x \cos(y) \) is harmonic in \( C \) because \[ u_{xx} + u_{yy} = e^x \cos(y) - e^x \cos(y) = 0. \] 1. Named after Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 117 Context: There are (at least) two reasons why harmonic functions are part of the study of complex analysis, and they can be found in the next two theorems. ## Proposition 6.3 Suppose \( f = u + iv \) is holomorphic in the region \( G \). Then \( u \) and \( v \) are harmonic in \( G \). **Proof:** First, by Corollary 5.5, \( u \) and \( v \) have continuous second partials. By Theorem 2.13, \( u \) and \( v \) satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equations (2.3): \[ u_x = v_y \quad \text{and} \quad u_y = -v_x \] in \( G \). Hence we can repeat our argumentation in (2.4): \[ u_{xx} + u_{yy} = (u_x)_{x} + (u_y)_{y} = (v_y)_{x} + (-v_x)_{y} = v_{yx} - v_{xy} = 0. \] Note that in the last step we used the fact that \( v \) has continuous second partials. The proof that \( u \) satisfies the Laplace equation is practically identical. Proposition 6.3 gives us an effective way to show that certain functions are harmonic in \( G \) by way of constructing an accompanying holomorphic function on \( G \). ## Example 6.4 Revisiting Example 6.1, we can see that \( u(x,y) = x \) is harmonic in \( \mathbb{C} \) by noticing that \[ f(z) = \frac{1}{2} z^2 = \frac{1}{2} (x^2 - y^2) + i x y \] is entire and \( \text{Im}(f) = y \). ## Example 6.5 A second reason that the function \( u(x,y) \) from Example 6.2 is harmonic in \( C \) is that \[ f(z) = e^{r \cos \theta} + i e^{r \sin \theta} \] is entire and \( \text{Re}(f) = u \). Proposition 6.3 practically shows us a converse. There are, however, functions that are harmonic in a region \( G \) but not the real part (say) of a holomorphic function in \( G \) (Exercise 6.5). We do obtain a converse of Proposition 6.3 if we restrict ourselves to **simply-connected** regions. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 118 Context: # HARMONIC FUNCTIONS ## Theorem 6.6. Suppose \( u \) is harmonic on a simply-connected region \( G \). Then there exists a harmonic function \( v \) in \( G \) such that \( f = u + iv \) is holomorphic in \( G \). The function \( v \) is called a **harmonic conjugate of** \( u \). **Proof:** We will explicitly construct a holomorphic function \( f \) (and thus \( v = \text{Im } f \)). First, let \[ g = u_x - i u_y. \] The plan is to prove that \( g \) is holomorphic, and then to construct an antiderivative of \( g \), which will be almost the function \( f \) that we are after. To prove that \( g \) is holomorphic, we use Theorem 2.13: first because \( u \) is harmonic, \( \text{Re } g = u_x \) and \( \text{Im } g = -u_y \) have continuous partials. Moreover, again because \( u \) is harmonic, \( \text{Re } g \) and \( \text{Im } g \) satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations (2.3): \[ \begin{align*} \text{(Re } g)_y & = u_{xy} = -u_{yx} = -(\text{Im } g)_x, \\ \text{(Re } g)_x & = u_{xx} = -u_{yy} = -(\text{Im } g)_y. \end{align*} \] Theorem 2.13 implies that \( g \) is holomorphic in \( G \), and so we can use Corollary 5.8 to obtain an antiderivative \( f \) of \( g \) (here is where we use the fact that \( G \) is simply connected). Now we decompose \( g \) into its real and imaginary parts as \( h = a + ib \). Then, again using Theorem 2.13, \[ g = b' - a' i, \] (The second equation follows from the Cauchy-Riemann equations (2.3)). But the real part of \( g \) is \( g_x = a \), and thus \( u_x = a = \text{Re } f \) for some function \( f \) that depends only on \( y \). On the other hand, comparing the imaginary parts of \( g' \) yields \( -u_y = -a' = b_y = \text{Im } f \) where \( c \) depends only on \( y \). Hence \( f \) has the form \[ f(x) = h(x) + c \] is a function holomorphic in \( G \) whose real part is \( u \), as promised. > As a side remark, with hindsight it should not be surprising that the function \( g \) that we first constructed in our proof is the derivative of the sought-after function. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 119 Context: # Definition and Basic Properties Let \( f \). Namely, by Theorem 2.13 such a function \( f = u + iv \) must satisfy \[ f' = u_x + iv_x = u_y - iv_y. \] (The second equation follows from the Cauchy–Riemann equations (2.3).) It is also worth mentioning that our proof of Theorem 6.6 shows that if \( u \) is harmonic in \( G \), then \( v \) is the real part of the function \( g = u - iv \), which is holomorphic in \( G \) regardless of whether \( G \) is simply connected or not. As our proof of Theorem 6.6 is constructive, we can use it to produce harmonic conjugates. ## Example 6.7 Revisiting Example 6.1 for the second time, we can construct a harmonic conjugate of \( u(x, y) = xy \) along the lines of our proof of Theorem 6.6: first let \[ g = u_x - i v = y - i x = -i z, \] which has an antiderivative \[ h(z) = \frac{1}{2} z^2 = xy - \frac{1}{2}(x^2 - y^2) \] whose real part is \( u \) and whose imaginary part \[ v(x, y) = -\frac{1}{2}(x^2 - y^2) \] gives a harmonic conjugate for \( u \). We can give a more practical machinery for computing harmonic conjugates, which only depends on computing certain (calculus) integrals; thus this can be easily applied, e.g., to polynomials. We state it for functions that are harmonic in the whole complex plane, but you can easily adjust it to functions that are harmonic on certain subsets of \( \mathbb{C}^2 \). ## Theorem 6.8 Suppose \( u \) is harmonic on \( C \). Then \[ u(x, y) := \int \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}(x, t) \, dt - \int \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}(y, t) \, dt \] is a harmonic conjugate for \( u \). *Theorem 6.8 is due to Sheldon Axler and the basis for his Mathematica package Harmonic Function Theory.* #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 120 Context: ``` 114 # HARMONIC FUNCTIONS ## Proof: We will prove that \( u + iv \) satisfies the Cauchy–Riemann equations (2.3). The first follows from \[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}(x, y) = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}(x, y) \] by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Theorem A.3). Second, by Leibniz's Rule (Theorem A.9), the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Theorem A.3), and the fact that \( v \) is harmonic, \[ \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}(x, y) = \int_{0}^{y} \frac{\partial^2 v}{\partial x^2}(x, t) \, dt = -\int_{0}^{y} \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2}(x, t) \, dt = \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}(x, 0) - \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y \partial x}(x, 0). \] As you might imagine, Proposition 6.3 and Theorem 6.6 allow for a powerful interplay between harmonic and holomorphic functions. In that spirit, the following theorem appears not so surprising. You might appreciate its depth better when looking back at the simple definition of a harmonic function. ## Corollary 6.9 A harmonic function is infinitely differentiable. ## Proof: Suppose \( u \) is harmonic in \( G \) and \( z_0 \in G \). We wish to show that \( u \in C^\infty \) exists for all positive integers \( n \). Let \( r > 0 \) such that the disk \( D(z_0, r) \) is contained in \( G \). Since \( D(z_0, r) \) is simply connected, Theorem 6.6 asserts the existence of a holomorphic function \( f \) in \( D(z_0, r) \) such that \( \text{Re} \, f = u \) by Corollary 5.5. \( f \) is infinitely differentiable on \( D(z_0, r) \) and hence so is its real part \( u \). This proof is the first in a series of proofs that use the fact that the property of being harmonic is local—if it is a property at each point of a certain region. Note that in our proof of Corollary 6.9 we did not construct a function \( f \) that is holomorphic in \( G \); we only constructed such a function on the disk \( D(z_0, r) \). This might very well differ from one disk to the next. ## 6.2 Mean-Value and Maximum/Minimum Principle We have established an intimate connection between harmonic and holomorphic functions, and so it should come as no surprise that some of the theorems we proved for holomorphic functions have analogues in the world of harmonic functions. Here is such a harmonic analogue of Cauchy's Integral Formula (Theorems 6.24 and 6.27). ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 121 Context: Theorem 6.10. Suppose \( u \) is harmonic in the region \( G \) and \( \overline{D(u, r)} \subset G \). Then \[ u(x) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{D(u,r)} u(y + r e^{i\theta}) d\theta. \] **Proof.** Exercise 6.14 provides \( x \in D(u,r) \subset D[u,r] \subset G \). The open disk \( D[u,r] \) is simply connected, so by Theorem 6.6 there is a function \( f \) holomorphic in \( D[u,r] \) such that \( u = \operatorname{Re} f \) on \( D[u,r] \). Now we apply Corollary 4.25 to \( f \): \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} f(x + r e^{i\theta}) d\theta. \] Theorem 6.10 follows by taking the real part on both sides. **Corollary** 4.25 and Theorem 6.10 say that holomorphic and harmonic functions have the mean-value property. Our next result is an important consequence of this property to extreme values of a function. **Definition.** Let \( G \) be a region. The function \( u : G \to \mathbb{R} \) has a strong relative maximum at \( x_0 \in G \) if there exists a disk \( D[u, r] \subset G \) such that \( u(x) \leq u(x_0) \) for all \( x \in D[u, r] \) and \( u(x_0) < u(x) \) for some \( y \in D[u, r] \). The definition of a strong relative minimum is analogous. Theorem 6.11. If \( u \) is harmonic in the region \( G \), then it does not have a strong relative maximum or minimum in \( G \). **Proof.** Assume, by way of contradiction, that \( u \) has a strong relative maximum. Then there is a disk in \( G \) centered at \( x_0 \) containing a point \( x \) with \( u(x) < u(x_0) \). Let \( r = |x - x_0| \) and apply Theorem 6.10: \[ u(x) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} u(x_0 + r e^{i\theta}) d\theta. \] Intuitively, this cannot hold, because some of the function values we're integrating are smaller than \( u(x_0) \), contradicting the mean-value property. To make this into a thorough argument, suppose that \( u(x) < u(x_0) \) for \( r \leq 5 \) and \( x \in [0, 2r] \). Now we split up the mean-value... #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 122 Context: ``` # Harmonic Functions ## Integral \[ u(w) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} \frac{|u(w+r e^{i\theta})|}{r} d\theta \] \[ = \frac{1}{2\pi} \left( \int_{0}^{\pi} |u(w+r e^{i\theta})| d\theta + \int_{\pi}^{2\pi} |u(w+r e^{i\theta})| d\theta \right) \] All the integrands can be bounded by \(u(w)\); for the middle integral we get a strict inequality. Hence \[ a(w) < \frac{1}{2\pi} \left( \int_{0}^{\pi} u(x) dx + \int_{\pi}^{2\pi} u(x) dx \right) = u(w). \] a contradiction. The same argument works if we assume that \(u\) has a relative minimum. But in this case there’s a shortcut argument: if \(u\) has a strong relative minimum then the harmonic function \(-u\) has a strong relative maximum, which we just showed cannot exist. So far, harmonic functions have benefited from our knowledge of holomorphic functions. Here is a result where the benefit goes in the opposite direction. ## Corollary 6.12 If \(f\) is holomorphic and nonzero in the region \(G\), then \(|f|\) does not have a strong relative maximum or minimum in \(G\). ### Proof By Exercise 6.6, the function \(\ln |f(z)|\) is harmonic on \(G\) and so, by Theorem 6.11, does not have a strong relative maximum or minimum in \(G\). But then neither does \(|f(z)|\), because it is monotonic. We finish our excursion about harmonic functions with a preview and its consequences. We say a real valued function on a region \(G\) has a weak relative maximum at \(x_0\) if there exists a disk \(D(x_0, r) \subset G\) such that \[ u(x_0) \geq u(x) \quad \text{for all } x \in D(x_0, r). \] We define weak relative minimum similarly. In Chapter 8 we will strengthen Theorem 6.11 and Corollary 6.12 to Theorem 8.17 and Corollary 8.20 by replacing strong relative extremum in the hypotheses with weak relative extremum. A special but important case is when \(u\) does not assume that \(f\) is nonzero in a region \(G\) to have a strong relative maximum in \(G\). ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 123 Context: # Mean-Value Principle functions, Corollary 8.20, concerns bounded regions. In Chapter 8 we will establish that, if \( u \) is harmonic in a bounded region \( G \) and continuous on its closure, then \[ \sup_{x \in G} u(x) = \max_{x \in \partial G} u(x) \quad \text{and} \quad \inf_{x \in G} u(x) = \min_{x \in \partial G} u(x) \tag{6.1} \] where, as usual, \( \partial G \) denotes the boundary of \( G \). We'll exploit this in the next two corollaries. ## Corollary 6.13 Suppose \( u \) is harmonic in the bounded region \( G \) and continuous on its closure. If \( u \) is zero on \( \partial G \) then it is zero in \( G \). **Proof.** By (6.1), \[ u(z) \leq \sup_{x \in G} u(x) = \max_{x \in \partial G} u(x) \] and \[ u(z) \geq \inf_{x \in G} u(x) = \min_{x \in \partial G} u(x), \] so \( u \) must be zero in \( G \. \) ## Corollary 6.14 Suppose \( u \) and \( v \) are harmonic in the bounded region \( G \) and continuous on its closure. If \( u(x) = v(x) \) for all \( x \in \partial G \) then \( u \equiv v \) for all \( x \in G \). **Proof.** \( u - v \) is harmonic in \( G \) (Exercise 6.2) and is continuous on the closure \( \overline{G} \), and \( u - v \) is zero on \( \partial G \). Now apply Corollary 6.13. ## Corollary 6.15 Corollary 6.14 says that if a function \( u \) is harmonic in a bounded region \( G \) and is continuous on the closure \( \overline{G} \) then the values of \( u \) at points in \( G \) are completely determined by the values of \( u \) on the boundary of \( G \). We should remark, however, that this result is of a completely theoretical nature: it says nothing about how to extend a continuous function \( f \) given on the boundary of a region to be harmonic in the full region. This problem is called the Dirichlet problem, and it has a solution for all bounded simply-connected regions. If the region \( G \) is the unit disk and \( f \) is a continuous function on the unit circle, define \[ \hat{u}(r, \theta) = r^{\ell} \cdot f(\theta) \quad \text{and} \quad \hat{u}(r, \theta) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} r^{\ell} f(\phi) \, d\phi \quad \text{for } r < 1, \] where \(\ell\) is a suitable integer. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 125 Context: 8.

Furthermore, by Cauchy’s Theorem 4.18, we may replace these integrals with integrals over small circles around \(a\) and \(b\). This transforms (7.1) into a sum of two integrals, which we are no closer to being able to compute; however, we have localized the problem, in the sense that we now “only” have to compute integrals around one of the singularities of our integral. This motivates developing techniques to approximate complex functions locally, in analogy with the development of Taylor series in calculus. It is clear that we need to go further here, as we’d like to have such approximations near a singularity of a function. At any rate, to get any of this started, we need to talk about sequences and series of complex numbers and functions, and this chapter develops them. ## 7.1 Sequences and Completeness As in the real case, a \( (complex) \) sequence is a function from the positive (sometimes the nonnegative) integers to the complex numbers. Its values are usually written as \( a_n \) (as opposed to \( a(n) \)) and we commonly denote the sequence by \( (a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty} \) or simply \( (a_n) \). Considering such a sequence as a function of \( n \), the notion of convergence is merely a repeat of the definition we gave in Section 3.2, adjusted to the fact that \( n \) is an integer. **Definition.** Suppose \( (a_n) \) is a sequence and \( L \in \mathbb{C} \) such that for all \( \epsilon > 0 \) there is an integer \( N \) such that for all \( n \in \mathbb{N} \), we have \( |a_n - L| < \epsilon \). Then the sequence \( (a_n) \) is convergent and \( L \) is its limit; in symbols we write \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = L. \] If no such \( L \) exists then the sequence \( (a_n) \) is divergent. As in our previous definitions of limit, the limit of a sequence is unique if it exists. See Exercise 7.7. ### Example 7.1 We claim that \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} = 0: \text{ Given } \epsilon > 0, \text{ choose } N > \frac{1}{\epsilon}. \] Then for any \( n \geq N \), \[ \left| \frac{1}{n} - 0 \right| = \frac{1}{n} \leq \frac{1}{N} < \epsilon. \] \(\blacksquare\) *There will be no surprises in this chapter of the nature real series converges.* #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 129 Context: To prove that a sequence \((a_n)\) is divergent, we have to show the negation of the statement that defines convergence; that is, given any \(L \in \mathbb{C}\), there exists \(\epsilon > 0\) such that, given any integer \(N\), there exists an integer \(n > N\) such that \(|a_n - L| > \epsilon\). (If you have not negated any mathematical statements, this is worth meditating about.) ### Example 2.7: The sequence \((a_n = i^n)\) diverges: Given \(L \in \mathbb{C}\), choose \(L = \frac{1}{2}\). We consider two cases: If \(\text{Re}(L) > 0\), then for any \(N\), choose \(n > N\) such that \(a_n = -1\). (This is always possible since \(a_{2k} = i^{2k} = -1\) for any \(k \geq 0\).) Then \[ |a_n - L| = |1 + L| > \frac{1}{2}. \] If \(\text{Re}(L) < 0\), then for any \(N\), choose \(n > N\) such that \(a_n = 1\). (This is always possible since \(a_{4k} = i^{4k} = 1\) for any \(k \geq 0\).) Then \[ |a_n - L| = |1 - L| > \frac{1}{2}. \] This proves that \((a_n = i^n)\) diverges. The following limit laws are the cousins of the identities in Propositions 2.4 and 2.6, with one little twist. ### Proposition 7.3. Let \((a_k)\) and \((b_k)\) be convergent sequences and \(c \in \mathbb{C}\). Then 1. \(\lim_{k \to \infty} (a_k + b_k) = \lim_{k \to \infty} a_k + \lim_{k \to \infty} b_k.\) 2. \(\lim_{k \to \infty} (a_k - b_k) = \lim_{k \to \infty} a_k - \lim_{k \to \infty} b_k.\) 3. \(\lim_{k \to \infty} (c a_k) = c \cdot \lim_{k \to \infty} a_k.\) 4. \(\lim_{k \to \infty} (a_k b_k) = \lim_{k \to \infty} a_k \cdot \lim_{k \to \infty} b_k.\) 5. \(\lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{a_k}{b_k} = \frac{\lim_{k \to \infty} a_k}{\lim_{k \to \infty} b_k}\) where \(b_k \neq 0\) for all sufficiently large \(k\), assuming \(\lim_{k \to \infty} b_k \neq 0.\) 6. \(\lim_{k \to \infty} k = \infty.\) Again, the proof of this proposition is essentially a repeat from arguments we have given in Chapters 2 and 3, as you should convince yourself in Exercise 7.4. We will assume, as an axiom, that it is complete. To phrase this precisely, we need the following. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 130 Context: # POWER SERIES ## Definition The sequence \((a_n)\) is monotonic if it is either nondecreasing \((a_n \geq a_{n-1}\) for all \(n)\) or nonincreasing \((a_n \leq a_{n-1}\) for all \(n)\). There are many equivalent ways of formulating the completeness property for the reals. Here is what we'll go by: ## Axiom (Monotone Sequence Property) Any bounded monotonic sequence converges. This axiom (or one of its many equivalent statements) gives arguably the most important property of the real number system: namely, that we can, in many cases, determine that a given sequence converges without knowing the value of the limit. In this sense we can use the sequence to define a real number. ## Example 7.4 Consider the sequence \((a_n)\) defined by \[ a_n = 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \cdots + \frac{1}{n}. \] This sequence is increasing (by definition) and each \(a_n \leq 3\) by Exercise 7.9. By the Monotone Sequence Property, \((a_n)\) converges, which allows us to define one of the most famous numbers in all of mathematics, \[ \epsilon = 1 + \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n. \] ## Example 7.5 Fix \(0 < r < 1\). We claim that \(\lim_{n \to \infty} r^n = 0\). First, the sequence \((a_n = r^n)\) converges because it is decreasing and bounded below by 0. Let \(L = \lim_{n \to \infty} r^n\). By Proposition 7.3, \[ L = \lim_{n \to \infty} r^n = r^1 = \lim_{n \to \infty} r^n = 0. \] Thus \((1 - r)L = 0\) and (since \(1 - r \neq 0\)) we conclude that \(L = 0\). We remark that the Monotone Sequence Property implies the Least Upper Bound Property: every nonempty set of real numbers with an upper bound has a least upper bound. The Least Upper Bound Property, in turn, implies the following theorem, which is often stated as a separate axiom: **Footnote:** Both the Archimedean Property and the Least Upper Bound Property can be used in (different) axiomatic developments of \(\mathbb{R}\). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 131 Context: # Theorem 7.6. [Archimedean Property] If \( x \) is any real number then there is an integer \( N \) that is greater than \( x \). For a proof see Exercise 7.10. Theorem 7.6 essentially says that infinity is not part of the real numbers. Note that we already used Theorem 7.6 in Example 7.1. The Archimedean Property underlies the construction of an infinite decimal expansion for any real number, while the Monotone Sequence Property shows that such infinite decimal expansion actually converges to a real number. We close this discussion of limits with a pair of standard limits. The first of these can be established by calculus methods (such as L'Hôpital's rule (Theorem A.11), by treating \( x \) as the variable); both of them can be proved by more elementary considerations. Either way, we leave the proof of the following to Exercise 7.11. ## Proposition 7.7. (a) Exponential best polynomials: For any polynomial \( p(x) \) (with complex coefficients) and any \( x \in \mathbb{C} \) with \( |x| > 1 \), \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{p(x)}{e^x} = 0. \] (b) Factorials best exponentials: For any \( z \in \mathbb{C} \), \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{z^n}{n!} = 0. \] ## 7.2 Series **Definition.** A series is a sequence \( (a_n) \) whose members are of the form \( a_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} b_k \) (or \( a_n = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k \)); we call \( (b_k) \) the sequence of terms of the series. The \( a_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} b_k \) (or \( a = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k \)) are the partial sums of the series. If we wanted to be lazy we would define convergence of a series simply by referring to convergence of the partial sums of the series—after all, we just defined series through sums. However, there are some convergence features that hinge on special appearances for series, so we mention them here explicitly. For starters, a *Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BCE) attributes this property to Eudoxus of Cnidus (408–355 BCE). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 132 Context: # Power Series A series converges to the limit (or sum) \( L \) by definition if \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} S_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^{n} b_k = L. \] To prove that a series converges, we use the definition of the limit of a sequence: for any \( \epsilon > 0 \), we have to find an \( N \) such that for all \( n \geq N \), \[ \left| \sum_{k=1}^{n} b_k - L \right| < \epsilon. \] In the case of a convergent series, we usually write its limit as \( L = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k \) or \( L = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k \). ## Example 7.8 Fix \( z \in \mathbb{C} \) with \( |z| < 1 \). We claim that the geometric series \( \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} z^k \) converges with limit \[ \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} z^k = \frac{z}{1 - z}. \] In this case, we can compute the partial sums explicitly: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{n} z^k = z + z^2 + \cdots + z^{n} = \frac{z(1 - z^{n+1})}{1 - z}, \] whose limit as \( n \to \infty \) exists by Example 7.5, because \( |z| < 1 \). ## Example 7.9 Another series whose limit we can compute by manipulating the partial sums is \[ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k^2} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^{n} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{k+1} \right). \] This simplifies to \[ = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} + \cdots + \frac{1}{n} \right) = 1. \] A series where most of the terms cancel like this is called **telescoping**. Most of the time we can use the completeness property to check convergence of a series, and it is fortunate that the Monotone Sequence Property has a convenient translation into the language of series of real numbers. The partial sums of a series are often used to analyze convergence. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 134 Context: ```markdown # Power Series ## Proof of Proposition 7.13 Suppose \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k\) converges. Then, using Proposition 7.3(a) & (d), \[ 0 = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^{n} b_k = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( \sum_{k=0}^{n} b_k - \sum_{k=1}^{n} b_k \right) = \lim_{n \to \infty} b_n. \] A common mistake is to try to use the converse of Proposition 7.13, but the converse is false: ### Example 7.16 The harmonic series \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k}\) diverges (even though the terms go to 0). If we assume the series converges to \(L\), then \[ L = 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \cdots \] \[ > \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} + \cdots = \frac{1}{2} \left( 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \cdots \right) = \frac{1}{2}L. \] Thus, \[ L > \frac{L}{2} \] which leads to \[ L = 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \cdots = L, \] a contradiction. ![Figure 7.2: The integral test.](link_to_image) ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 136 Context: ``` # 130 Power Series ## Proof Suppose \( \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} |\phi_k| \) converges. We first consider the case that each \( b_k \) is real. Let \[ b_k^* = \begin{cases} b_k & \text{if } b_k \geq 0, \\ 0 & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases} \] and \[ b_k^{**} = \begin{cases} 0 & \text{if } b_k < 0, \\ b_k & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases} \] Then \( 0 \leq b_k^* \leq |b_k| \) for all \( k \geq 1 \), and so by Corollary 7.12, both \[ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k^* \] and \[ -\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k^{**} \] converge. But then so does \[ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k^* + \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b_k^{**}. \] For the general case \( b_k \in \mathbb{C} \), we write each term as \( b_k = c_k + i d_k \). Since \( 0 \leq |c_k| \leq |b_k| \) for all \( k \geq 1 \), Corollary 7.12 implies that \( \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} |c_k| \) converges absolutely, and by an analogous argument, so does \( \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} |d_k| \). But now we can use the first case to deduce that both \( \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} c_k \) and \( \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} d_k \) converge. ### Example 7.21. Continuing Example 7.19, we find: \[ \zeta(s) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k^s} \] converges for \( \text{Re}(s) > 1 \), because then (using Exercise 3.49) \[ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} k^{-s} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n^{-\text{Re}(s)} \] converges. Viewed as a function in \( s \), the series \( \zeta(s) \) is the Riemann zeta function, an indispensable tool in number theory and many other areas in mathematics and physics. > **Note:** The Riemann zeta function is the subject of the subtly most famous open problem in mathematics, the **Riemann Hypothesis**. It turns out that \( \zeta(s) \) can be extended to a function that is holomorphic on \( \mathbb{C} \setminus \{1\} \), and the Riemann hypothesis asserts that the roots of this extended function in the strip \( 0 < \text{Re}(s) < 1 \) are all on the critical line \( \text{Re}(s) = \frac{1}{2} \). ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 138 Context: Let's digest these two notions of convergence of a function sequence by describing them using quantifiers: as usual, \( \forall \) denotes for all and \( \exists \) means there exists. Pointwise convergence on \( G \) translates into \[ V \to \forall z \in G \, \exists N \in \mathbb{N} \, |f_n(z) - f(z)| < \epsilon, \] whereas uniform convergence on \( G \) translates into \[ V \to \exists N \in \mathbb{N} \, \forall z \in G \, \forall n \in \mathbb{N} \, |f_n(z) - f(z)| < \epsilon. \] No big deal — we only exchanged two of the quantifiers. In the first case, \( N \) may well depend on \( z \); in the second case, we need to find an \( N \) that works for all \( z \in G \). And this can make all the difference ... ### Example 7.23 Let \( f: [0, 1] \to \mathbb{R} \) be defined by \( f_n(x) = x^n \). We claim that this sequence of functions converges pointwise to \( f: [0, 1] \to \mathbb{R} \) given by \( f(x) = 0 \). This is immediate for the point \( z = 0 \). Now given any \( \epsilon > 0 \) and \( 0 < |x| < 1 \), choose \( N > \frac{1}{\epsilon} \). Then for all \( n \geq N \), \[ |f_n(x) - f(x)| = |x^n - 0| = |x|^n \leq |x|^N < \epsilon. \] (You ought to check carefully that all our inequalities work the way we claim they do.) ### Example 7.24 Let \( f: [0, 1] \to \mathbb{R} \) be defined by \( f_n(x) = x^n \). We claim that this sequence of functions converges uniformly to \( f: [0, 1] \to \mathbb{R} \) given by \( f(x) = 0 \). Given any \( \epsilon > 0 \) and \( |x| < \frac{1}{n} \), choose \( N \geq \frac{1}{\epsilon} \). Then for all \( n \geq N \), \[ |f_n(x) - f(x)| = |x^n - 0| \leq |x|^n \left( \frac{1}{n} \right)^N. \] (Again, you should carefully check our inequalities.) The differences between Example 7.23 and Example 7.24 are subtle, and we suggest you meditate over them for a while with a good cup of coffee. You might already suspect that the function sequence in Example 7.23 does not converge uniformly, as we will see in a moment.

Our first big goal in this chapter is to prove that every power series represents a holomorphic function in its disk of convergence and, vice versa, that every holomorphic function can be locally represented by a power series. Our second goal returns to our motivation to start Chapter 7: we’d still like to compute \( \int_{C} \frac{\exp(z)}{\sin(z)} dz \). Looking back at Figure 7.1 suggests that we expand the function \( \frac{e^{z}}{z^{5}} \) locally into something like power series centered at \( 0 \) and \( \pi \), and with any luck we can then use Proposition 7.27 to integrate. Of course, \( \frac{e^{z}}{z^{5}} \) has singularities at \( 0 \) and \( \pi \), so there is no hope of computing power series at these points. We will develop an analogue of a power series centered at a singularity. ### 8.1 Power Series and Holomorphic Functions Here is the first (and easier) half of the first goal we just announced. **Theorem 8.1.** Suppose \( f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n (z - z_0)^n \) has radius of convergence \( R > 0 \). Then \( f \) is holomorphic in \( D(z_0, R) \). **Proof.** Corollary 7.36 says that \( f \) is continuous in \( D(z_0, R) \). Given any closed piecewise smooth path \( \gamma \subset D(z_0, R) \), Corollary 7.37 gives \( \int_{\gamma} f' = 0 \). Now apply Morera’s theorem (Corollary 5.6). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 158 Context: # TAYLOR AND LAURENT SERIES **Proof:** Let \( r < R \). By Corollary 8.11 and Proposition 4.6(d), \[ \left| \phi'(x) \right| = \frac{k}{2 \pi i} \int_{C(r)} \frac{f(z)}{(z - x)^{2}} \, dz \leq \frac{k}{r^{2}} \max_{z \in C(r)} |f(z)| \cdot \text{length}(C(r)) \leq \frac{k}{r^{2}} \cdot \frac{m}{r} \cdot \frac{2\pi r}{1} \] The statement now follows since \( r \) can be chosen arbitrarily close to \( R \). A key aspect of this section is worth emphasizing: namely, we have developed an alternative characterization of what it means for a function to be holomorphic. In Chapter 2, we defined a function to be holomorphic in a region \( G \) if it is differentiable at each point \( x_0 \in G \). We now define what it means for a function to be **analytic** in \( G \). **Definition:** Let \( f : G \to \mathbb{C} \) and \( x_0 \in G \). If there exist \( R > 0 \) and \( c_0, c_1, \ldots, c_n \in \mathbb{C} \) such that the power series \[ \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} c_k (x - x_0)^{k} \] converges in \( D(x_0, R) \) and agrees with \( f(x) \) in \( D(x_0, R) \), then \( f \) is analytic at \( x_0 \). We call \( f \) analytic in \( G \) if it is analytic at each point in \( G \). What we have proved in this section can be summed up as follows: **Theorem 8.13.** For any region \( G \), the class of all analytic functions in \( G \) coincides with the class of all holomorphic functions in \( G \). While the terms **holomorphic** and **analytic** do not always mean the same thing, the study of complex analysis they do and are frequently used interchangeably. ## 8.2 Classification of Zeros and the Identity Principle When we proved the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (Theorem 5.11; see also Exercise 5.11), we remarked that, if a polynomial \( p(z) \) of degree \( d > 0 \) has a zero at \( a \) (that is, \( p(a) = 0 \)), then \( p(z) \) has \( z - a \) as a factor. That is, we can write \[ p(z) = (z - a) q(z) \] where \( q(z) \) is a polynomial of degree \( d - 1 \). We can then ask whether \( q(z) \) itself has a zero at \( a \), and if so, we can factor out another \( z - a \). #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 161 Context: # CLASSIFICATION OF ZEROS AND THE IDENTITY PRINCIPLE If \( f(z) = 0 \), then Theorem 8.14 says that either \( z \in X \) or \( z \) is an isolated zero of \( f \), so \( z \in V \). We have thus proved that \( G \) is the disjoint union of \( X \) and \( Y \). Exercise 8.11 proves that \( X \) and \( Y \) are open, and so (because \( G \) is a region) either \( X \) has to be empty. The conditions of Theorem 8.15 say that \( z_1, z_2, \ldots \) is not in \( V \), and this has to be in \( X \). Thus \( G = X \) and the statement of Theorem 8.15 follows. The identity principle yields the strengthenings of Theorem 6.11 and Corollary 6.12 promised in Chapter 6. We recall that we say the function \( f: G \to \mathbb{C} \) has a weak relative maximum if there exists a disk \( D(z_r, r) \subset G \) such that all \( z \in D(z_r, r) \) satisfy \( |f(z)| \leq |f(z_r)| \). ## Theorem 8.17 (Maximum-Modulus Theorem). Suppose \( f \) is holomorphic and nonconstant in a region \( G \). Then \( |f| \) does not attain a weak relative maximum in \( G \). There are many reformulations of this theorem, such as: ### Corollary 8.18. Suppose \( f \) is holomorphic in a bounded region \( G \) and continuous on its closure. Then \[ \sup_{z \in \partial G} |f(z)| = \max_{z \in \overline{G}} |f(z)|. \] **Proof.** This is trivial if \( f \) is constant, so we assume \( f \) is non-constant. By the Extreme Value Theorem, if there is a point \( z_r \in G \) such that \( \max_{z \in \overline{G}} |f(z)| \). Clearly \( \sup_{z \in |f(z)|} \geq \max_{z \in |f(z)|} \); and this is easily seen to be an equality using continuity at \( z_r \) since there are points of \( G \) arbitrarily close to \( z_r \). Finally, Theorem 8.17 implies \( f \) is not constant in \( G \). ### Corollary 8.19 (Minimum-Modulus Theorem). Suppose \( f \) is holomorphic and nonconstant in a region \( G \). Then \( |f| \) does not attain a weak relative minimum at a point \( z \in G \) unless \( f(z) = 0 \). ### Corollary 8.20. If \( f \) is harmonic and nonconstant in a region \( G \), then it does not have a weak relative maximum or minimum in \( G \). Note that Equation (6.1) in Chapter 6 follows from Corollary 8.20 using essentially the same argument as in the proof of Corollary 8.18. #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 168 Context: ```markdown # TAYLOR AND LAURENT SERIES By Examples 8.3 and 8.23, \[ \frac{\exp(z)}{\sin(z)} = \left( 1 + \frac{z}{1!} + \frac{z^2}{2!} + \frac{z^3}{3!} + \cdots \right) \left( -\frac{1}{z} + \frac{7}{360}z + \frac{31}{15120}z^3 + \cdots \right) = z^{-1} + 1 + \frac{2}{3} z + \cdots \] and Corollary 8.27 gives \[ \int_{C[0,1]} \frac{\exp(z)}{\sin(z)} \, dz = 2\pi i. \] For the integral around \( C \), we use the fact that \( \sin(-z) = -\sin(z) \), and so we can compute the Laurent expansion of \( \frac{\exp(z)}{\sin(z)} \) at \( z = 0 \) as Example 8.23: \[ \frac{1}{\sin(z)} = -\frac{1}{z} - \frac{1}{6} (z - z^3) - \frac{7}{360} (z - z^3) - \cdots. \] Adding Example 8.7 to the mix yields \[ \frac{\exp(z)}{\sin(z)} = \left( z^{-1} + \frac{z^{-1}}{2} + \frac{z^{-1}}{2} + \cdots \right) - \left( -\frac{1}{6}(z - z^3) - \cdots \right) \] \[ = -z^{-1} - \frac{z^{-2}}{2} - \frac{z^{-1}}{2} - \cdots. \] And now Corollary 8.27 gives \[ \int_{C[2,3]} \frac{\exp(z)}{\sin(z)} \, dz = -2\pi i e^z. \] Putting it all together yields the integral we've been after for two chapters: \[ \int_{C[1,2]} \frac{\exp(z)}{\sin(z)} \, dz = 2\pi i (1 - e^z). \] ## Exercises ### 8.1 For each of the following series, determine where the series converges absolutely and where it converges uniformly: (a) \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2^n}{(n+1)!} z^{2n} \] (b) \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{(-3)^n}\right)^k \] ### 8.2 What functions are represented by the series in the previous exercise? ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 170 Context: 8.11.

Edward Witten We return one last time to the starting point of Chapters 7 and 8: the quest for \[ \int_{C} \frac{\exp(z)}{\sin(z)} \, dz. \] We computed this integral in Example 8.28 crawling on hands and knees (but we finally computed it), by considering various Taylor and Laurent expansions of \(\exp(z)\) and \(\frac{1}{\sin(z)}\). In this chapter, we develop a calculus for similar integral computations. ## 9.1 Classification of Singularities What are the differences among the functions \(\frac{\exp(z)}{z}\), \(\frac{1}{z}\), and \(\exp(z)\) at \(z = 0\)? None of them are defined at \(0\), but each singularity is of a different nature. We will frequently consider functions in this chapter that are holomorphic in a disk except at its center (usually because that’s where a singularity lies), and it will be handy to define the punctured disk with center \(z_0\) and radius \(R\), \[ D(z_0, R) = \{ z \in \mathbb{C} : 0 < |z - z_0| < R \}. \] We extend this definition naturally with \(D[z_0, R] = \{ z \in \mathbb{C} : |z - z_0| \leq R \}\). For complex functions there are three types of singularities, which are classified as follows: #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 179 Context: # CLASSIFICATION OF SINGULARITIES on \( D[\alpha, R] \) and non-zero at \( \alpha_n > 0 \), and \( f(z) = \frac{g(z)}{z - \alpha} \) for all \( z \in D[\alpha, R] \). But then \( \alpha \) is a pole of order \( m \) since \[ \lim_{z \to \alpha} |f(z)| = \lim_{z \to \alpha} \left| \frac{g(z)}{(z - \alpha)^m} \right| = \lim_{z \to \alpha} \frac{|g(z)|}{|z - \alpha|^m} = \infty. \] We underline one feature of the last part of our proof: ## Corollary 9.6 Suppose \( f \) is holomorphic in \( D[\alpha, R] \). Then \( f \) has a pole at \( \alpha \) if and only if there exists a positive integer \( m \) and a holomorphic function \( g : D[\alpha, R] \to \mathbb{C} \) such that \( g(\alpha) \neq 0 \) and \[ f(z) = \frac{g(z)}{(z - \alpha)^m} \] for all \( z \in D[\alpha, R] \). If \( \alpha \) is a pole then \( m \) is unique. ### Proof The only part not covered in the proof of Theorem 9.5 is uniqueness of \( m \). Suppose \( f(z) = \frac{(z - \alpha)^{m}}{g(z)} \) and \( f(z) = \frac{(z - \alpha)^{n}}{h(z)} \) both work, with \( m > n \). Then \( g(z) = (z - \alpha)^{m - n} h(z) \), and plugging in \( z = \alpha \) yields \( g(\alpha) = 0 \), violating \( g(\alpha) \neq 0 \). ### Definition The integer \( m \) in Corollary 9.6 is the order of the pole \( \alpha \). This definition, naturally coming out of Corollary 9.6, parallels that of the multiplicity of a zero, which naturally came out of Theorem 8.14. The two results also show that if \( f \) has a zero at \( \alpha \) of multiplicity \( m \) and only if \( j \) has a pole of order \( m \), we will make use of the notions of zeros and poles quite extensively in this chapter. You might have noticed that the Proposition 9.5 did not include any results on essential singularities. Not only does the next theorem make up for this but it also nicely illustrates the strangeness of essential singularities.

That is, for any \( x \in C \) and \( \epsilon > 0 \) there exists \( z \in B(z_0, r) \) such that \( |u - f(z)| < \epsilon \). In the language of topology, Theorem 9.7 says that the image of any punctured disk centered at an essential singularity is dense in \( C \). There is a stronger theorem, beyond the scope of this book, which implies the Casorati–Weierstrass Theorem 9.7. It is due to Charles Émile Picard (1856–1941) and says that the image of any punctured disk centered at an essential singularity misses at most one point of \( C \). (It is worth coming up with examples of functions that do not miss any point in \( C \) and functions that miss exactly one point. Try it!) ## Proof Suppose (by way of contradiction) that there exists \( w \in C \) and \( \epsilon > 0 \) such that for all \( z \in B(z_0, r) \) \[ |u - f(z)| \geq \epsilon. \] Then the function \( g(z) = \frac{f(z) - w}{z - z_0} \) stays bounded as \( z \to z_0 \) and so \[ \lim_{z \to z_0} (z - z_0) g(z) = \lim_{z \to z_0} \frac{f(z) - w}{z - z_0} = 0. \] (Proposition 9.5(a) tells us that \( f \) has a removable singularity at \( z_0 \).) Hence \[ \lim_{z \to z_0} \left| \frac{f(z) - w}{z - z_0} \right| = \infty \] and so the function \( f(z) - w \) has a pole at \( z_0 \). By Proposition 9.5(b), there is a positive integer \( n \) so that \[ \lim_{z \to z_0} (z - z_0)^{n+1} f(z) = \lim_{z \to z_0} (z - z_0)^n g(f(z)) = 0. \] Invoking Proposition 9.5 again, we conclude that the function \( f(z) \) has a pole or removable singularity at \( z_0 \), which implies the same holds for \( f(z) \), a contradiction. ``` #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 184 Context: ```markdown ## ISOLATED SINGULARITIES AND THE RESIDUE THEOREM (b) We know by Proposition 9.8(b) that the Laurent series at \( z_0 \) looks like \[ f(z) = \sum_{k \geq 0} c_k (z - z_0)^k. \] But then \[ (z - z_0)^j f(z) = \sum_{k \geq j} c_k (z - z_0)^{k - j} \] is a power series, and we can use Taylor's formula (Corollary 8.5) to compute \( c_{-l} \). It is worth noting that we are really coming full circle here; compare this proposition to Cauchy's Integral Formulas (Theorems 4.27 & 4.1 and Corollary 8.11). ### Example 9.12 The integral \[ \frac{\operatorname{exp}(z)}{\sin(z)} \] in Example 8.28 has poles of order 1 at 0 and \( \pi \). We thus compute \[ \operatorname{Res}_{z = 0} \left( \frac{\operatorname{exp}(z)}{\sin(z)} \right) = \lim_{z \to 0} \left( \frac{\operatorname{exp}(z)}{\sin(z)} \right) = \operatorname{exp}(0) \lim_{z \to 0} \frac{z}{\sin(z)} = 1 \] and \[ \operatorname{Res}_{z = \pi} \left( \frac{\operatorname{exp}(z)}{\sin(z)} \right) = \lim_{z \to \pi} \left( (z - \pi) \frac{\operatorname{exp}(z)}{\sin(z)} \right) = \operatorname{exp}(\pi) \lim_{z \to \pi} \frac{z - \pi}{\sin(z)} = -e^{-\pi}, \] confirming our computations in Example 8.28. ### Example 9.13 Revisiting Example 9.9, the function \( f(z) = \frac{1}{z^2} \) has a double pole at \( 0 \) with \[ \operatorname{Res}_{z=0} \left( \frac{\sin(z)}{z^2} \right) = \lim_{z \to 0} \frac{d}{dz} \left( \frac{2 \sin(z)}{z^2} \right) = \lim_{z \to 0} \left( \frac{2 \cos(z) - 2 \sin(z)}{z} \right) = 0, \] after a few iterations of 1'Hôpital's Rule.

In Exercise 9.19, we invite you to prove that, if \( p_1, \ldots, p_k \) are all the poles of \( f \) in \( G \) with order \( m_1, \ldots, m_k \), respectively, then the logarithmic derivative of \( f \) can be expressed as \[ \frac{f'(z)}{f(z)} = -\sum_{j=1}^{k} \frac{m_j}{z - p_j} - \sum_{j=1}^{k} \frac{m_j}{z - p_k} + \frac{g'(z)}{g(z)} \tag{9.2} \] where \( g \) is a function without poles in \( G \). Naturally, we can combine the expressions for zeros and poles, as we will do in a moment. ## Definition A function \( f \) is **meromorphic** in the region \( G \) if it is holomorphic in \( G \) except for poles. ### Theorem 9.17 (Argument Principle) Suppose \( f \) is meromorphic in a region \( G \) and \( \gamma \) is a positively oriented, simple, closed, piecewise smooth path that does not pass through any zero or pole of \( f \), and let \( \gamma^c \) denote \( Z(f; \gamma) \) the number of zeros of \( f \) inside \( \gamma \) counted according to multiplicity and \( P(f; \gamma) \) the number of poles of \( f \) inside \( \gamma \) counted according to multiplicity. Then \[ \frac{1}{2 \pi i} \int_{\gamma} \frac{f'(z)}{f(z)} \, dz = Z(\gamma) - P(f; \gamma) \] **Proof**. Suppose the zeros of \( f \) inside \( \gamma \) are \( z_1, \ldots, z_n \) of multiplicities \( m_1, \ldots, m_n \), respectively, and the poles inside \( \gamma \) are \( p_1, \ldots, p_k \) with order \( m_1, \ldots, m_k \), respectively.

By (9.1) and (9.2), $$ f\left(z\right) = \frac{n_1}{z - z_1} + \frac{n_2}{z - z_2} - \frac{m_1}{z - p_1} + \frac{s'(z)}{g(z)} $$ where \(s\) is a function that is holomorphic in \(G\) (in particular, without poles) and never zero. Thanks to Cauchy’s Theorem 4.18 and Exercise 4.4, the integral is equal to $$ \int_{\gamma} \frac{f'(z)}{g(z)} dz = 2\pi i \left(n_1 + \ldots + n_j - m_1 - \ldots - m_k\right) \int_{\gamma} \frac{s'(z)}{g(z)}. $$ Finally, \( \frac{s'}{g} \) is holomorphic in \(G\) (because \(g\) is never zero in \(G\)), so Corollary 4.20 gives $$ \int_{\gamma} \frac{s'}{g} = 0. $$ As mentioned above, this beautiful theorem helps to locate poles and zeros of a function \(f\). The idea is simple: we can first numerically integrate \(f\) over a big circle \(\gamma\) that includes all possible paths over which we potentially will be integrating \(f\). Then the numerical value of \(\int_{\gamma} f\) will be close to an integer that, according to the Argument Principle, equals \(Z(f) - P(f)\). Then we can integrate \(\frac{f}{g}\) over a smaller closed path \(\gamma'\) that encompasses half of the interior of \(\gamma\) and \(Z(f) - P(f)\). Continuing this process for smaller and smaller regions will (after certain verification) produce small regions where \(f\) has exactly one zero or exactly one pole. Integrating \(f\) over the boundaries of those small regions that contain poles and dividing by \(Z(f)\) gives all residues of \(f\). Another nice relevant application of the Argument Principle is a famous theorem due to Rouche (1832–1910). **Theorem 9.18 (Rouche's Theorem):** Suppose \(f\) and \(g\) are holomorphic in a region \(G\) and \(r\) is a positively oriented, simple, closed, piecewise smooth path, such that \( |g(z)| < |f(z)| \) for all \( z \in \gamma \).

In the late 19th century, Frobenius raised the problem of finding the largest integer that is not representable. We will call this largest integer the Frobenius number \(g(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k)\). It is well known (probably at least since the 1880s, when James Joseph Sylvester (1814–1897) studied the Frobenius problem) that \(g(a_1, a_2) = a_1 a_2 - a_1 - a_2\). You verified this result in (5). For \(x > 2\), there is no closed formula for \(g(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k)\).

If \( f \) is continuous on \( [a, b] \times [c, d] \subset \mathbb{R}^2 \) then \[ \int_c^d f(x, y) \, dy = \int_a^b \int_c^d f(x, y) \, dy \, dx. \] We can apply differentiation and integration with respect to different variables in either order: #################### File: A%20First%20Course%20in%20Complex%20Analysis%20-%20Matthias%20Beck%2C%20Gerald%20Marchesi%2C%20Dennis%20Pixton%2C%20Lucas%20Sabalka%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 208 Context: # Index -

This exposes sensitive user data to unauthorized access, as anyone with the URL can potentially view it." - **Screenshot Text:** - "TODO APP" - Task entries: "test1", "test1", "test 1" - Buttons labeled: "Tasks," "Done Tasks," "TASKS" #### 6. **Product Analysis** ##### Image 1: Screenshot of TODO App - **Product Details:** - **Main Features:** - Interactive task management application. - Functional buttons for task filtering ("Tasks," "Done Tasks," "TASKS"). - Task input field for adding new tasks. - List of current tasks displayed. - **Materials:** - Digital interface with a clean and simple design. - **Colors:** - Dominant colors are white for the main app interface and blue for the background. #### 7. **Anomaly Detection** ##### Image 1: Screenshot of TODO App - **Anomalies:** - The security concern mentioned highlights a significant anomaly in web application design, as the lack of a login feature poses a security risk. #### 8. **Color Analysis** ##### Image 1: Screenshot of TODO App - **Color Composition:** - Dominant use of white for the application interface. - Blue gradient background for contrast. - Red button indicating active selection (likely for deletion or high priority). #### 9. **Perspective and Composition** ##### Image 1: Screenshot of TODO App - **Perspective:** - Standard front-view interface screenshot. - **Composition:** - The user interface is centered, with the browser bar at the top and main functional areas (task list, input field, and buttons) in the middle. #### 10. **Contextual Significance** - The image and the text combined highlight a critical issue and its expected behavior in managing tasks within a web application. It underscores the importance of secure authentication mechanisms in web applications to protect sensitive user data. #################### File: TEST%20REPORT%20-%20Lois%20Layne%20Ramos.pdf Page: 9 Context: # Steps to replicate 1. Go to [https://tester-task.vercel.app/](https://tester-task.vercel.app/) 2. Redirect to main page ## Actual Behavior Accessing the web app URL directly redirects to the main page, bypassing the intended landing page or login process. ## Expected Behavior Upon accessing the web application, users should be prompted to log in before being granted access to the main page and their data. This ensures that only authorized users can view and interact with sensitive information. # Performance and Browser Compatibility Testing ## Results The web application demonstrated strong performance and consistent functionality across various browsers. No significant issues were identified during testing. ## Details - Data loading remained quick and responsive even when reaching 100 entries. - No performance degradation was observed when reloading the browser. - The application functioned identically on different browsers, including Opera, Safari, Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. ## Conclusion These findings indicate a well-optimized application that delivers a reliable and consistent user experience across various performance scenarios and browser platforms. #################### File: TEST%20REPORT%20-%20Lois%20Layne%20Ramos.pdf Page: 10 Context: # Additional Recommendations While no major issues were found, consider conducting further testing under simulated peak loads or with larger datasets to ensure continued performance stability. Monitor user feedback and performance metrics in real-world usage to identify any potential issues that may not have been captured during controlled testing. # Suggestions for Improvements 1. **Implement a hover text or tooltip for the "Delete All Tasks" button** that clearly explains its function. Introduce a confirmation dialog before deleting all tasks, requiring user confirmation and providing an option to cancel. (ref. Bug ticket no. 3) 2. **Implement a dedicated column** within the panel of task entries that clearly displays the total number of tasks created by the user. This would enhance user awareness and facilitate informed decision-making regarding their tasks. Furthermore, providing this data point would significantly simplify automated testing scenarios, enabling direct verification of task creation functionalities without resorting to workarounds. 3. **Modify the behavior** so adding a new entry preserves the user's current scroll position within the table. This would significantly improve the user experience and streamline task management. 4. **Clarify the intended purpose of the "Done Tasks" button** by implementing one of the expected behaviors below. This will provide users with clear functionality and avoid confusion. Clicking the "Done Tasks" button should trigger a specific action, such as: - Displaying a list of all tasks marked as done/completed by the user. - Taking users to a dedicated "Completed Tasks" section within the application. #################### File: TEST%20REPORT%20-%20Lois%20Layne%20Ramos.pdf Page: 11 Context: Additionally, consider providing a tooltip or hover text explaining the button's function on mouseover, further enhancing user experience. 5. The **"Add/Submit"** button should be disabled or visually grayed out when the input field is empty, clearly indicating that no action can be performed until data is entered. Optionally, a tooltip or error message could be displayed upon hovering over the disabled button, explaining the requirement for user input. ########## """QUERY: Summarize in 5 sentences the contents of your context.
