- Complex Functions: (x, y) ∈ Ω → (u, v) : (u, v) = f(x, y) - u = u(x, y) - v = v(x, y) - ω = f(Ω) - If f(Ω) is defined in Ω, z0 is a limit point of Ω. For ∀ε > 0, ∃δ > 0, such that z ∈ V*(z0; δ) ∩ Ω, then f(z) ∈ V(L; ε), then f(z) has a limit L. - If a ∈ Ω, and ∀ε > 0, ∃δ > 0, such that f(V(a; δ) ∩ Ω) ⊂ V(f(a); ε) - Then f(Ω) is continuous at z = a. If f(Ω) is continuous at every point in Ω, then f(Ω) is continuous in Ω. - Limit and continuity of two real-valued functions are equivalent (proof by contradiction).
- Line: Bz + Bz̅ + C = 0 - Circle: |z - z0| = R ⇔ Az̅ + Bz + Bz̅ + C = 0
If Ω ⊂ C is compact, and f(Ω) is continuous in Ω, then: - f(Ω) is bounded in Ω, and f maps bounded sets to bounded sets. - |f(z)| ∈ [1, f(z1), f(z2)] for ∀z1, z2 ∈ Ω, ∀z ∈ Ω - f(Ω) is uniformly continuous in Ω. Therefore, u and v are uniformly continuous.
**Section II. Analytic Functions**
- **Derivative:** - If the limit of the difference quotient exists, the function is differentiable. The derivative is the limit of the difference quotient. The derivative is the sum of the partial derivatives and the mixed partial derivatives. The function satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations. (In some points) k = 2. The derivative is continuous and differentiable.
**(1) u, v are two real-valued functions. Their differentiability can be verified through:**
- **Definition:** $$\left|\frac{\Delta u - \Delta u}{\Delta x^2 + \Delta y^2}\right|_{z_0} = 0$$
- **Sufficient condition for differentiability:** u, v have continuous partial derivatives at z_0.
- **Differentiable ⇔ u, v are differentiable and satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Proof:**
**Necessity:** Suppose f(z) is differentiable at z_0 = x_0 + iy_0. Then: $$\left|\frac{f(z_0 + \Delta z) - f(z_0)}{\Delta z} - f'(z_0)\right| < \epsilon \quad \forall \epsilon > 0$$ Define $$\varphi(\Delta z) = \frac{f(z_0 + \Delta z) - f(z_0) - f'(z_0)}{\Delta z}$$. Then $$\lim_{\Delta z \to 0} \varphi(\Delta z) = 0$$. $$\therefore f(z_0 + \Delta z) - f(z_0) = f'(z_0) \Delta z + \varphi(\Delta z) \Delta z$$. Let $$f(z_0 + \Delta z) - f(z_0) = \Delta u + i \Delta v$$, $$f'(z_0) = a + ib$$, $$\varphi(\Delta z) = p_1 + i p_2$$. $$\therefore \Delta u + i \Delta v = (a + ib)(\Delta x + i \Delta y) + (p_1 + i p_2)(\Delta x + i \Delta y)$$ $$= (a \Delta x - b \Delta y + p_1 \Delta x - p_2 \Delta y) + i (b \Delta x + a \Delta y + p_2 \Delta x + p_1 \Delta y)$$ $$\therefore \Delta u = a \Delta x - b \Delta y + p_1 \Delta x - p_2 \Delta y$$ $$\Delta v = b \Delta x + a \Delta y + p_2 \Delta x + p_1 \Delta y$$. $$\because \lim_{\Delta z \to 0} \varphi(\Delta z) = 0 \quad \therefore p_1 = p_2 = 0$$. $$\therefore u, v are differentiable at z_0 = x_0 + iy_0$$. Thus, $$a = \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}$$, $$b = -\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}$$.
**Sufficiency:** $$\because f(z_0 + \Delta z) - f(z_0) = [u(x + \Delta x, y + \Delta y) - u(x, y)] + i [v(x + \Delta x, y + \Delta y) - v(x, y)]$$ $$= \Delta u + i \Delta v$$. $$\therefore u, v are differentiable at z_0$$. Thus, $$\Delta u = \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} \Delta x + \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} \Delta y + \varepsilon_1 \Delta x + \varepsilon_2 \Delta y$$ $$\Delta v = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} \Delta x + \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} \Delta y + \varepsilon_3 \Delta x + \varepsilon_4 \Delta y$$. $$\therefore \lim_{\Delta z \to 0} \varepsilon_1 = \lim_{\Delta z \to 0} \varepsilon_2 = \lim_{\Delta z \to 0} \varepsilon_3 = \lim_{\Delta z \to 0} \varepsilon_4 = 0$$. $$\therefore u, v satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Thus, $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = -\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}$$, $$\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}$$.
The function f(z) is defined as: $$f(z)=\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+i\cdot \frac{\partial v}{\partial y},$$ where u and v are real-valued functions of complex variable z. The Cauchy-Riemann equations must be satisfied: $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial v}{\partial y},$$ and $$-\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial v}{\partial x},$$ for f(z) to be complex differentiable at a point z. If these conditions hold, then the function is said to have an analytic derivative.
The Cauchy-Riemann equations are a necessary and sufficient condition for the function to be complex differentiable. If u, v satisfy these equations in a neighborhood of z and are continuous thereon, then f(z) is analytic at that point. The function can be expanded in a Taylor series around z.
The derivative of f(z) at point z is given by: $$f'(z)=\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+i\cdot \frac{\partial v}{\partial y},$$ which is a complex number. If f(z) has an analytic derivative at z, then it can be written as: $$f'(z)=\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+i\cdot \frac{\partial v}{\partial y},$$ where u and v are the real part of f(z) in terms of x and y. The function is said to be analytic at z if it can be written in this form.
The exponential function z^b = e^(bln z), can be decomposed into the original point and the real part of the complex plane. (z^b)' = b z^(b-1).
Before: b = integer, unitary b = rational, finite value b = other, infinite value.
Trigonometric functions: sin z = (e^(iz) - e^(-iz)) / 2i cos z = (e^(iz) + e^(-iz)) / 2 The derivative of (cos z) = -sin z tan z = sin z / cos z = -i (e^(iz) - e^(-iz)) / (e^(iz) + e^(-iz)) z = π/2 + 2kπ is a pole (cos z has a pole) 1/z and cos z have no boundary.
Hyperbolic functions: sh z = (e^z - e^(-z)) / 2 ch z = (e^z + e^(-z)) / 2 {sh iy = i sh y, sh iy = i sy} {cos iy = ch y, ch iy = cosy}
- C-R coordinate form: ∂u/∂r = 1/r ∂u/∂θ, ∂u/∂θ = -1/r ∂u/∂r
Let r = √(x^2 + y^2) and θ = arctan y/x ∂u/∂x = ∂u/∂r cosθ - ∂u/∂θ sinθ / r, ∂u/∂y = ∂u/∂r sinθ + ∂u/∂θ cosθ / r ∂v/∂x = ∂v/∂r cosθ - ∂v/∂θ sinθ / r, ∂v/∂y = ∂v/∂r sinθ + ∂v/∂θ cosθ / r
Thus, (∂u/∂r - 1/r ∂v/∂θ) cosθ = (∂v/∂r + 1/r ∂u/∂θ) sinθ. (∂u/∂r - 1/r ∂v/∂θ) sinθ = - (∂v/∂r + 1/r ∂u/∂θ) cosθ. Thus ∂u/∂r = 1/r ∂v/∂θ. Similarly ∂v/∂r = -1/r ∂u/∂θ.
III. Complex variable integral.
- Riemann integral of the second kind of closed curves. (Directional, linear, path additivity) ∫_C f(z) dz ≤ ∫_C |f(z)| ds ≤ M L. ∫_C f(z) dz = ∫_C u dx - v dy + i ∫_C v dx + u dy. ∫_C f(z) dz = ∫_a^b f(z(t)) z'(t) dt
- Analytic function integral: If f(z) is analytic in the simply connected domain D, and C is a closed curve in D, then ∫_C f(z) dz = 0.
The Cauchy Integral Formula: $f(z_0) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint_C \frac{f(z)}{z-z_0} dz$. $f(z)$ is analytic in $D$ and continuous in $\overline{D}$.
Higher-order derivatives formula: $f^{(n)}(z_0) = \frac{n!}{2\pi i} \oint_C \frac{f(z)}{(z-z_0)^{n+1}} dz$. $\Rightarrow$ Higher-order derivatives.
Cauchy Inequality: $|f^{(n)}(a)| \leq \frac{n!M}{R^n}$ ($n=1,2,\ldots$). $f(z)$ is analytic in $|z-a| Liouville's Theorem: If $|f(z)| \leq \frac{M}{R}$, as $R \to \infty$ then $f(z) = \text{constant}$. $f(z)$ is a constant function. Theorem: If $D$ is a simply connected domain and $f(z)$ is analytic in $D$, then $F(z) = \int_{z_0}^z f(\zeta) d\zeta$. Proof: $D$ has an antiderivative:
Since $f(z)$ is analytic in $D$, the integral is path-independent. Thus, the integral determines the unique antiderivative $F(z)$ in $D$. 2) $F(z)$ is differentiable:
Since $f(z)$ is continuous at $z_1$, $\forall \epsilon > 0$ $\exists \delta > 0$ such that $|z-z_1| < \delta$ implies $|f(z) - f(z_1)| < \epsilon$.
$|F(z) - F(z_1)| = \left|\frac{1}{z-z_1} \int_{z_1}^z [f(\zeta) - f(z_1)] d\zeta\right| \leq \frac{1}{|z-z_1|} \int_{z_1}^z |f(\zeta) - f(z_1)| d\zeta | < \frac{1}{\delta} \epsilon \cdot \delta = \epsilon$.
$\therefore$ Differentiable, $F'(z) = f(z)$ $\Rightarrow$ Any order derivative of the antiderivative: Constant. Morera's Theorem: $f(z)$ is continuous in $D$ and $C$ is any simple closed curve in $D$. If $\oint_C f(z) dz = 0$ then $f(z)$ is analytic in $D$. Proof: By hypothesis, $f(z)$ along $B(z_0, \delta)$ is any simple closed curve integral is zero. $\therefore$ $f(z)$ is analytic in $D$. $\therefore$ $F(z)$ is differentiable in $D$ and $F(z)$ is analytic in $D$. $\therefore$ $f(z)$ is analytic.
- Given an analytic function (single-valued within) in the complex plane, find f(z):
**Integration Method:** Given u, through $\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}$ we get $v = \int \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} dy + C(x)$. Also $\frac{\partial v}{\partial x} = -\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}$, thus $\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\int \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} dy) + C'(x) = -\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}$. Thus $C(x)$ is the solution for v. **Line Integral Method:** $\because \text{rot}(-\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}, \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}) = \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = 0$ $\therefore v = \int_{(x_0, y_0)}^{(x, y)} \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} dx + \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} dy = \int_{(x_0, y_0)}^{(x, y)} -\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} dx + \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} dy$ is path-independent. **Direct Integration Method:** $f'(z) = \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + i \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} - i \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}$ $\therefore f(z)$ is an analytic function $\therefore$ it can be expressed as $g(z)$. $\therefore f(z) = \int g(z) dz + C$. C is a real constant.
- **Cauchy Integral Formula:** If f(z) is analytic in |z-a|
**Proof:** If f(z) = u + iv is analytic in D, C is the circle |z|=R. Let z be a point in C, let $\tilde{z} = R^2/z$, then $\tilde{z} = \frac{2\pi z}{\tilde{z}} = |z|/z$. $\therefore |\tilde{z}| > |z|$. $\therefore \tilde{z}$ is outside C. $\therefore \frac{f(\tilde{z})}{\tilde{z}}$ is analytic in C. $$ \therefore \oint_{C} \frac{f(\tilde{z})}{\tilde{z} - z} d\tilde{z} = \oint_{C} \frac{f(z)}{z - \tilde{z}} d\tilde{z} = 0. $$ $$ \therefore f(z) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint_{C} \left( \frac{1}{z - \tilde{z}} + \frac{R^2}{R^2 - \tilde{z}z} \right) f(\tilde{z}) d\tilde{z} = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint_{C} \frac{(R^2 - z\tilde{z}) f(\tilde{z})}{(z - \tilde{z})(R^2 - \tilde{z}z)} d\tilde{z}. $$ $\because C: |z| = R$, $\therefore \tilde{z} = Re^{i\phi}$, $z = re^{i\theta}$. $$ \therefore f(z) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint_{C} \frac{(R^2 - z\tilde{z}) f(\tilde{z})}{(z - \tilde{z})(R^2 - \tilde{z}z)} d\tilde{z} = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint_{C} \frac{(R^2 - z\tilde{z}) f(\tilde{z})}{(z - \tilde{z})(R^2 - \tilde{z}z)} d\tilde{z}. $$
