In this talk, we give an overview of results on numerical integration in Hermite spaces. These spaces contain functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$, and can be characterized by the decay of their Hermite coefficients. We consider the case of exponentially as well as polynomially decaying Hermite coefficients. For numerical integration, we either use Gauss-Hermite quadrature rules or algorithms based on quasi-Monte Carlo rules. We present upper and lower error bounds for these algorithms, and discuss their dependence on the dimension $d$. Furthermore, we comment on open problems for future research.
In mathematics, the Lambert W function, also called the omega function or product logarithm, is a set of functions, namely the branches of the inverse relation of the function f(z) = zez where ez is the exponential function and z is any complex number. In other words
{\displaystyle z=f^{-1}(ze^{z})=W(ze^{z})} z=f^{-1}(ze^{z})=W(ze^{z})
By substituting {\displaystyle z'=ze^{z}} z'=ze^{z} in the above equation, we get the defining equation for the W function (and for the W relation in general):
{\displaystyle z'=W(z')e^{W(z')}} z'=W(z')e^{W(z')}
for any complex number z'.
Since the function ƒ is not injective, the relation W is multivalued (except at 0). If we restrict attention to real-valued W, the complex variable z is then replaced by the real variable x, and the relation is defined only for x ≥ −1/e, and is double-valued on (−1/e, 0). The additional constraint W ≥ −1 defines a single-valued function W0(x). We have W0(0) = 0 and W0(−1/e) = −1. Meanwhile, the lower branch has W ≤ −1 and is denoted W−1(x). It decreases from W−1(−1/e) = −1 to W−1(0−) = −∞.
The Lambert W relation cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions.[1] It is useful in combinatorics, for instance in the enumeration of trees. It can be used to solve various equations involving exponentials (e.g. the maxima of the Planck, Bose–Einstein, and Fermi–Dirac distributions) and also occurs in the solution of delay differential equations, such as y'(t) = a y(t − 1). In biochemistry, and in particular enzyme kinetics, a closed-form solution for the time course kinetics analysis of Michaelis–Menten kinetics is described in terms of the Lambert W function.
Double Robustness: Theory and Applications with Missing DataLu Mao
When data are missing at random (MAR), complete-case analysis with the full-data estimating equation is in general not valid. To correct the bias, we can employ the inverse probability weighting (IPW) technique on the complete cases. This requires modeling the missing pattern on the observed data (call it the $\pi$ model). The resulting IPW estimator, however, ignores information contained in cases with missing components, and is thus statistically inefficient. Efficiency can be improved by modifying the estimating equation along the lines of the semiparametric efficiency theory of Bickel et al. (1993). This modification usually requires modeling the distribution of the missing component on the observed ones (call it the $\mu$ model). Hence, when both the $\pi$ and the $\mu$ models are correct, the modified estimator is valid and is more efficient than the IPW one. In addition, the modified estimator is "doubly robust" in the sense that it is valid when either the $\pi$ model or the $\mu$ model is correct.
Essential materials of the slides are extracted from the book "Semiparametric Theory and Missing Data" (Tsiatis, 2006). The slides were originally presented in the class BIOS 773 Statistical Analysis with Missing Data in Spring 2013 at UNC Chapel Hill as a final project.

A Probabilistic Algorithm for Computation of Polynomial Greatest Common with ...mathsjournal
In the earlier work, Knuth present an algorithm to decrease the coefficient growth in the Euclidean algorithm of polynomials called subresultant algorithm. However, the output polynomials may have a small factor which can be removed. Then later, Brown of Bell Telephone Laboratories showed the subresultant in another way by adding a variant called 𝜏 and gave a way to compute the variant. Nevertheless, the way failed to determine every 𝜏 correctly.
In this paper, we will give a probabilistic algorithm to determine the variant 𝜏 correctly in most cases by adding a few steps instead of computing 𝑡(𝑥) when given 𝑓(𝑥) and𝑔(𝑥) ∈ ℤ[𝑥], where 𝑡(𝑥) satisfies that 𝑠(𝑥)𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑡(𝑥)𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑟(𝑥), here 𝑡(𝑥), 𝑠(𝑥) ∈ ℤ[𝑥]
Cars are a very important part of this modern world because they give luxury and comfort. Even
though they are comfortable, some problems always keep arising on the safety side. After a lot of research they
rectified certain problems using air bags, auto parking, turbo charger, pedal shift…, etc.
And now we are going to discuss about one such problem that arises on the safety side. An unsuspected
accident occurs when people smash their fingers in between the car doors. Due to this kind of accident around
120,000 people are injured every year. But this was not taken as a very major safety concern for the customer.
To avoid this kind accident due to car doors, we are introducing “SAFETY DOOR LOCK SYSTEM”
with the help of “HYDRAULIC PISTON AND IR SENSORS”.
The major working process of the “SAFETY DOOR LOCK SYSTEM”is, when a person places his/her
hand or fingers in the gap between the door and the outer panel, at the time when the closing action of the door
takes place, the Sensors start to transmit the Infra Red Rays to the Receivers at the
other end, and so even if someone closes the door without anybody‟s knowledge the hydraulic piston will
automatically come out and stop the door from closing and prevent the person from the unsuspected accident
and minor injuries by the car door and ensure maximum safety to the customer.
Extrusion can be defined as the process of subjecting a material to compression so that it is forced to
flow through an opening of a die and takes the shape of the hole. Multi-hole extrusion is the process of
extruding the products through a die having more than one hole. Multi-hole extrusion increases the production
rate and reduces the cost of production. In this study the ram force has calculated experimentally for single hole
and multi-hole extrusion. The comparison of ram forces between the single hole and multi-hole extrusion
provides the inverse relation between the numbers of holes in a die and ram force. The experimental lengths of
the extruded products through the various holes of multi-hole die are different. It indicates that the flow pattern
is dependent on the material behavior. The micro-hardness test has done for the extruded products of lead
through multi-hole die. It is observed that the hardness of the extruded lead products from the central hole is
found to be more than that of the products extruded from other holes. The study suggests that multi-hole
extrusion can be used for obtaining the extruded products of lead with varying hardness. The micro-structure
study has done for the lead material before and after extrusion. It is observed that the size of grains of lead
material after extrusion is smaller than the original lead.
Analysis of Agile and Multi-Agent Based Process Scheduling Modelirjes
As an answer of long growing frustration of waterfall Software development life cycle concepts,
agile software development concept was evolved in 90’s. The most popular agile methodologies is the Extreme
Programming (XP). Most software companies nowadays aim to produce efficient, flexible and valuable
Software in short time period with minimal costs, and within unstable, changing environments. This complex
problem can be modeled as a multi-agent based system, where agents negotiate resources. Agents can be used to
represent projects and resources. Crucial for the multi-agent based system in project scheduling model, is the
availability of an effective algorithm for prioritizing and scheduling of task. To evaluate the models, simulations
were carried out with real life and several generated data sets. The developed model (Multi-agent based System)
provides an optimized and flexible agile process scheduling and reduces overheads in the software process as it
responds quickly to changing requirements without excessive work in project scheduling.
Effects of Cutting Tool Parameters on Surface Roughnessirjes
This paper presents of the influence on surface roughness of Co28Cr6Mo medical alloy machined
on a CNC lathe based on cutting parameters (rotational speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius).The
influences of cutting parameters have been presented in graphical form for understanding. To achieve the
minimum surface roughness, the optimum values obtained for rpm, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius were
respectively, 318 rpm, 0,1 mm/rev, 0,7 mm and 0,8 mm. Maximum surface roughness has been revealed the
values obtained for rpm, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius were respectively, 318 rpm, 0,25 mm/rev, 0,9
mm and 0,4 mm.
Possible limits of accuracy in measurement of fundamental physical constantsirjes
The measurement uncertainties of Fundamental Physical Constants should take into account all
possible and most influencing factors. One from them is the finiteness of the model that causes the existence of
a-priori error. The proposed formula for calculation of this error provides a comparison of its value with the
actual experimental measurement error that cannot be done an arbitrarily small. According to the suggested
approach, the error of the researched Fundamental Physical Constant, measured in conventional field studies,
will always be higher than the error caused by the finite number of dimensional recorded variables of physicalmathematical
models. Examples of practical application of the considered concept for measurement of fine
structure constant, speed of light and Newtonian constant of gravitation are discussed.
Performance Comparison of Energy Detection Based Spectrum Sensing for Cogniti...irjes
With the rapid deployment of new wireless devices and applications, the last decade has witnessed a growing
demand for wireless radio spectrum. However, the policy of fixed spectrum assignment produces a bottleneck for more
efficient spectrum utilization, such that a great portion of the licensed spectrum is severely under-utilized. So the concept of
cognitive radio was introduced to address this issue.The inefficient usage of the limited spectrum necessitates the
development of dynamic spectrum access techniques, where users who have no spectrum licenses, also known as secondary
users, are allowed to use the temporarily unused licensed spectrum. For this purpose we have to know the presence or
absence of primary users for spectrum usage. So spectrums sensing is one of the major requirements of cognitive radio.Many
spectrum sensing techniques have been developed to sense the presence or absence of a licensed user. This paper evaluates
the performance of the energy detection based spectrum sensing technique in noisy and fading environments.The
performance of the energy detection technique will be evaluated by use of Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves
over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels.
Comparative Study of Pre-Engineered and Conventional Steel Frames for Differe...irjes
In this paper, the conventional steel frames having triangular Pratt truss as a roofing system of 60 m
length, span 30m and varying bay spacing 4m, 5m and 6m respectively having eaves level for all the portals is at
10m and the EOT crane is supported at the height of 8m from ground level and pre-engineered steel frames of
same dimensions are analyzed and designed for wind zones (wind zone 2, wind zone 3, wind zone 4 and wind
zone 5) by using STAAD Pro V8i. The study deals with the comparative study of both conventional and preengineered
with respect to the amount of structural steel required, reduction in dead load of the structure.
Flip bifurcation and chaos control in discrete-time Prey-predator model irjes
The dynamics of discrete-time prey-predator model are investigated. The result indicates that the
model undergo a flip bifurcation which found by using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory.
Numerical simulation not only illustrate our results, but also exhibit the complex dynamic behavior, such as the
periodic doubling in period-2, -4 -8, quasi- periodic orbits and chaotic set. Finally, the feedback control method
is used to stabilize chaotic orbits at an unstable interior point.
Energy Awareness and the Role of “Critical Mass” In Smart Citiesirjes
A Smart City could be depicted as a place, logical and physical, in which a crowd of heterogeneous
entities is related in time and space through different types of interactions. Any type of entity, whether it is a
device or a person, clustered in communities, becomes a source of context-based data.
Energy awareness is able to drive the process of bringing our society to limit energy waste and to optimize
usage of available resources, causing a strong environmental and social impact. Then, following social network
analysis methodologies related to the dynamics of complex systems, it is possible to find out, emergent and
sometimes hidden new habits of electricity usage. Through an initial Critical Mass, involving a multitude of
consumers, each related to more contexts, we evaluate the triggering and spreading of a collective attitude. To
this aim, in this paper, we propose a novel analytical model defining a new concept of critical mass, which
includes centrality measures both in a single layer and in a multilayer social network.
A Firefly Algorithm for Optimizing Spur Gear Parameters Under Non-Lubricated ...irjes
Firefly algorithm is one of the emerging evolutionary approaches for complex and non-linear
optimization problems. It is inspired by natural firefly‟s behavior such as movement of fireflies based on
brightness and by overcoming the constraints such as light absorption, obstacles, distance, etc. In this research,
firefly‟s movement had been simulated computationally to identify the best parameters for spur gear pair by
considering the design and manufacturing constraints. The proposed algorithm was tested with the traditional
design parameters and found the results are at par in less computational time by satisfying the constraints.
The Effect of Orientation of Vortex Generators on Aerodynamic Drag Reduction ...irjes
One of the main reasons for the aerodynamic drag in automotive vehicles is the flow separation
near the vehicle’s rear end. To delay this flow separation, vortex generators are used in recent vehicles. The
vortex generators are commonly used in aircrafts to prevent flow separation. Even though vortex generators
themselves create drag, but they also reduce drag by delaying flow separation at downstream. The overall effect
of vortex generators is more beneficial and proved by experimentation. The effect depends on the shape,size and
orientation of vortex generators. Hence optimized shape with proper orientation is essential for getting better
results.This paper presents the effect of vortex generators at different orientation to the flow field and the
mechanism by which these effects takes place.
An Assessment of The Relationship Between The Availability of Financial Resou...irjes
The availability of financial resources is an important element in impacting the success of a planning
process for an effective physical planning. The extent to which however, they are articulated in the process
remained elusive both in scholarly and public discourse. The objective of this study wastherefore, to examine
the extent to which financial resources affect physical planning. In doing so, the study examinedwhether
financial resources were adequate or not to facilitate planning processes in Paidha. According to the study
findings,budget prioritization and ceilings are still a challenge in Paidha Town Council. This is partly due
limited level of knowledge of physical planning among the officials of Paidha Town Council. As a result, there
were no dedicated budget line for routine inspection of physical development plan compliance and enforcement
tools in Paidha. In conclusion, in addressing uncoordinated patterns of physical development that characterize
Uganda‟s urban centres, a critical starting point ought to be the analysis of physical planning process. The
research of this kind is not only significant to other emerging urban centres facing poor a road network,
mushrooming informal settlements and poor social services including poor pattern of residential and commercial
developments but also to all institutions that are involved in planning these towns. Knowing the extent of need
for financial influences in planning may assist local authorities to take the processes of planning seriously which
will help enhance the sustainable development of emerging urban centres including Paidha.
The Choice of Antenatal Care and Delivery Place in Surabaya (Based on Prefere...irjes
- Person's desire to do a pregnancy examination is determined by the service place that suits the tastes
and facilities owned by it. Until now, the utilization of antenatal care by pregnant women is still low (Mardiana,
2014). The purpose of the study is to analyze factors affecting the utilization of antenatal care and delivery place
in Surabaya city based on the preferences and choice theory.
Type of survey research is cross sectional approach, the population is mothers who have children aged 1-
12 months in Surabaya. The large sample of 250 mothers who have children aged 1-12 months in 2013 is taken
by simple random sampling technique. Variables of the research are the preference elements and steps, choice
elements and steps, utilization of antenatal care and delivery place. Data were collected through questionnaires
and secondary data were then analyzed with descriptive statistics in the form of a frequency distribution, shown
by the schematic diagram.
The result showed that the preference elements and steps showed almost half (42.9%) desire to give birth
in a health care because of information got from someone else, while the choice element and step shows the
bulk (57.1%) of the criteria of delivery place chosen is a safe, comfortable and cheap delivery place, the labor
place which is the main choice most (57.1%) is cheap, comfortable, close.
Conclusion of the research based on the preferences and choice theory can be found three (3) new
theories, they are preferences become choice, preferences do not become choice, choice is preceded by
preferences

its application in solving Laplace's equations and studying fluid flow phenomenas ( see [3],[4]). The proof of
this theorem can find in (see for example [5]). Their method depend on the tangent of 𝑇𝑗 = 1 + 𝑖0 and the
rotation of 𝑇𝑗 from 0 to 𝜋 on points (𝑥, 0) . In this paper we would like to prove the Shwarz-

2𝜋 and conformal mapping.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Schwarz-Christoffel transformation known as a map from the upper half-plane to simply
connected polygon with or without corners at infinity in the complex planes.The Schwarz-Christoffel
transformation has been studied by many reseachers due to a huge of its application for example used in
physical applications involving fluid movement, heat conduction and electrostatic pontential, as well asthe
studying of Laplace's equations (see [3],[4]) and also from mathematical point of views ( see [1],[2],[6]).
In this paper we study about the proof of the Schwarz-Christoffel theorem. The prove of this theorem
can found in (see for example [5]). Their method depend on the tangent of 𝑇𝑗 = 1 + 𝑖0 and the rotation of 𝑇𝑗
from 0 to 𝜋 on points (𝑥, 0). In this paper we would like to prove the Shwarz-Christoffel transformation
directly by using the arguments identity of complex number, rotation of it from 0 to 2𝜋 and conformal
mapping.
II. PRELIMINARIES
We need to review some important definitions and theorems which will be used later from complex
analysis to understand the Schwarz-Christoffeltheorem.These definitions and theorems below can be found in
the refences ( see [3], [4] ).
Definition 2.1 A complex number is a number of the form 𝑧 = 𝑎 + 𝑖𝑏 where the imaginary unit is defined as
𝑖 = −1and𝑎 is the real part of 𝑧, 𝑎 = 𝑅𝑒(𝑧), and 𝑏 is the imaginary part of 𝑧 , 𝑏 = 𝐼𝑚(𝑧). The set of all
complex number is written by 𝐶.
Definition 2.2. Arguments of complex number
Let r and θ be polar coordinates of the point 𝑎, 𝑏 that corresponds to a nonzero complex number 𝑧 = 𝑎 + 𝑖𝑏.
Since 𝑎 = cos 𝜃and 𝑏 = sin 𝜃, the number 𝑧can be written in polar form as 𝑧 = r (cos 𝜃 + 𝑖 sin 𝜃) = 𝑧 𝑒 𝑖𝜃 ,
where 𝑧 is a positive real number called the modulus of 𝑧, and 𝜃 is real number called the argument of 𝑧, and
written by arg 𝑧.The real number𝜃 represents the angle and measured in radians.
Theorem 2.1. Law of arguments of products .
Let 𝑏, 𝑐 ∈ 𝐶. Then
arg 𝑏𝑐 = arg b + arg c. (1.1)
Theorem 2.2. Law of arguments of power
Let 𝑏, 𝑐 ∈ 𝐶. Then
arg 𝑏 𝑐 = 𝑐 arg 𝑏. (1.2)
Definition 2.3.Complex Function. A complex function is a function 𝑓 whose domain and range are subsets of
the set 𝐶 of complex numbers.
Definition 2.4.Conformal mapping. Let 𝑤 = 𝑓 (𝑧) be a complex mapping defined in a domain 𝐷 and let 𝑧0 be
a point in 𝐷. Then we say that 𝑤 = 𝑓 (𝑧) is conformal at 𝑧0 if for every pair of smoothoriented curves𝐶1 and 𝐶2
in 𝐷 intersecting at 𝑧0 the angle between 𝐶1 and 𝐶2 at𝑧0 is equal tothe angle between the image curves 𝐶 ′ 1 and
𝐶 ′ 2 at 𝑓 (𝑧0 ) in both magnitude and sense.

Figure 1.1 The angle between𝐶1 and 𝐶2 (see [4])
In other words a mapping 𝑤 = 𝑓 (𝑧) preserves both angle and shape but it cannot in general the size. Moreover
a mapping that is conformal at every point in a domain D is called conformal in D, the conformal mapping relies
on the properties of analytic function. The angle between any two intersecting arcs in the z-plane is equal to the
angle between the images of the arcs in the w-plane under a linear mapping.
Definition 2.5. Analytic Function.A function 𝑓 (𝑧) is said to be analytic in a region 𝑅 of the complex plane if
𝑓 (𝑧) has a derivative at each point of 𝑅. In addition, analytic function is conformal at 𝑧0 if and only if 𝑓 ′ (𝑧) ≠
0.
Definition 2.6.Polygon. A polygon is a plane figure that is bounded by closed path, composed of a finite
sequence of straight-line segments (i.e. a closed polygonal chain or circuit). These segments are called its edges
or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon’s vertices (singular: vertex) or corners.
III. MAIN THEOREM
Theorem (Schwarz-christoffel)
Let 𝑃 be a polygon in the 𝑤-plane with vertices 𝑤1 , 𝑤2 , … , 𝑤 𝑛 and exterior angles 𝛼 𝑘 , where – 𝜋 < 𝛼 𝑘 <
𝜋 .There exists a one-to-one conformal mapping 𝑤 = 𝑓 (𝑧) from the upper half plane, 𝐼𝑚 𝑧 > 0 onto 𝐺 that
satisfies the boundary conditions in equations 𝑤 𝑘 = 𝑓 (𝑥 𝑘 ) for 𝑘 = 1,2 … . 𝑛 − 1 and 𝑤 𝑛 = 𝑓 ∞ ,
where 𝑥1 < 𝑥2 < 𝑥3 < ⋯ < 𝑥 𝑛−1 < ∞. Derivative 𝑓 ′ (𝑧) is
− 𝛼1 − 𝛼2 − 𝛼 𝑛 −1 (1.3)
𝑓 ′ 𝑧 = 𝐴 𝑧 − 𝑥1 ) 𝜋 𝑧 − 𝑥2 𝜋 … 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛 −1 𝜋
and the function f can be expressed as an indefinite integral
− 𝛼1 − 𝛼2 − 𝛼 𝑛 −1 (1.4)
𝑓 𝑧 = 𝐵 + 𝐴 ∫ 𝑓 ′ 𝑧 = 𝐴 𝑧 − 𝑥1 ) 𝜋 𝑧 − 𝑥2 𝜋 … 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛 −1 𝜋 𝑑𝑧
where 𝐴 and 𝐵 are suitably chosen constants. Two of the points {𝑥 𝑘 } may be chosen arbitrarily, and the
constants 𝐴 and 𝐵 determine the size and position of 𝑃.
IV. PROVE OF THE THEOREM
A transformation 𝑤 = 𝑓 𝑧 constructed by mapping each point on the 𝑥 axis in 𝑧 -plane z on 𝑤 -plane,
with 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , … , 𝑥 𝑛−1 , 𝑥 𝑛 are the points on the 𝑥-axis and 𝑥1 < 𝑥2 < 𝑥3 < ⋯ < 𝑥 𝑛 −1 < 𝑥 𝑛 where the points on the
plane 𝑧 is the domain of the transformation. These points are mapped in to points on the 𝑛-side, is 𝑤𝑗 =
𝑓(𝑥 𝑗 ), 𝑗 = 1, 2, . . . , 𝑛 -1 and 𝑤 𝑛 = 𝑓 ∞ in
𝑤-plane. The function 𝑓chosen so that arg 𝑓 ′ 𝑧 different constant value
𝑓 ′ 𝑧 = 𝐴(𝑧 − 𝑥1 )−𝑘 1 (𝑧 − 𝑥2 )−𝑘 2 … (𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛 −1 )−𝑘 𝑛 −1 (1.5)
where A is a complex constant and each 𝑘 𝑗 , with 𝑗 = 1, 2, 3, 𝑛 − 1 are real constants.
From equation (1.5) we taking the absolute value, then we have
𝑓 ′ 𝑧 = 𝐴(𝑧 − 𝑥1 )−𝑘 1 (𝑧 − 𝑥2 )−𝑘 2 … (𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛−1 ) 𝑘 𝑛 −1

= 𝐴 (𝑧 − 𝑥1 ) (𝑧 − 𝑥2 ) … (𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛 −1 )−𝑘 𝑛 −1

= 𝐵 + ∫ 𝐴 (𝑧 − 𝑥1 ) 𝑥 (𝑧 − 𝑥2 ) 𝑥 … (𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛 −1 ) 𝑥 𝑑𝑧.
Next, since the argument of a product of the complex numbers are equal to the number of arguments of each
factor, from equation (1.5) we have
arg𝑓 ′ 𝑧 = arg𝐴 − 𝑘1 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥1 − 𝑘2 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥2 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛 −1 . (1.9)
The real numbers 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , … , 𝑥 𝑛−1 , 𝑥 𝑛 take on the real axis z-plane. If 𝑧 is a real number, then the number
𝑁𝑗 = 𝑧 − 𝑥𝑗 , (1.10)
is positive if 𝑧 is greater than 𝑥𝑗 and negative if𝑧 is less than 𝑥𝑗 and
0, if 𝑧 > 𝑥𝑗 (1.11)
arg 𝑧 − 𝑥𝑗 =
𝜋, if 𝑧 < 𝑥𝑗 .
If 𝑧 = 𝑥 and 𝑥 < 𝑥𝑗 , 𝑗 = 1,2,3, … , 𝑛 − 1 then
arg 𝑧 − 𝑥1 = arg 𝑧 − 𝑥2 = ⋯ = arg 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛−1 = 𝜋. (1.12)
If 𝑧 = 𝑥 and 𝑥 𝑟−1 < 𝑥 < 𝑥 𝑟 , j = 1, 2, ..., r – 1, r, r + 1, ..., n –1 and let
𝜙 𝑟−1 = arg𝑓 ′ (𝑧) (1.13)
then according to equation (1.9) and (1.11) and (1.13)
arg𝑓 ′ 𝑧 = arg𝐴 − 𝑘1 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥1 − 𝑘2 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥2 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 arg − 𝑥 𝑛−1 )
(𝑧
𝜙 𝑟−1 = arg𝐴 − 𝑘 𝑟 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑟 − 𝑘 𝑟+1 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑟+1 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 arg − 𝑥 𝑛−1 )
(𝑧
= arg𝐴 − 𝑘 𝑟 𝜋 − 𝑘 𝑟+1 𝜋 − 𝑘 𝑟+2 𝜋 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 𝜋
= arg𝐴 − (𝑘 𝑟 − 𝑘 𝑟+1 − 𝑘 𝑟+2 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 )𝜋 (1.14)
and
𝜙 𝑟 = arg𝐴 − 𝑘 𝑟+1 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑟+1 − 𝑘 𝑟+2 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑟+2 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 arg 𝑧 − 𝑥 𝑛−1
= arg𝐴 − 𝑘 𝑟+1 𝜋 − 𝑘 𝑟+2 𝜋 − 𝑘 𝑟+3 𝜋 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 𝜋
= arg𝐴 − (𝑘 𝑟+1 − 𝑘 𝑟+2 − 𝑘 𝑟+3 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 )𝜋 (1.15)
Then
𝜙 𝑟 − 𝜙 𝑟 −1 = [arg𝐴 − (𝑘 𝑟+1 − 𝑘 𝑟+2 − 𝑘 𝑟+3 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 )𝜋] (1.16)
− [arg𝐴 − (𝑘 𝑟 − 𝑘 𝑟+1 − 𝑘 𝑟+2 − ⋯ − 𝑘 𝑛−1 )𝜋]
𝜙 𝑟 − 𝜙 𝑟 −1 =𝑘 𝑟 𝜋 ,with 𝑗 = 1,2,3, ⋯ , 𝑟 − 1, 𝑟, ⋯ , 𝑛 − 1.
Such that, if 𝑧 = 𝑥 then 𝑥𝑗 −1 < 𝑥 < 𝑥𝑗 , 𝑗 = 1,2, … , 𝑛 − 1 in the real axis 𝑧-plane from the left point 𝑥𝑗 to his
right, then the vector𝜏 in 𝑤-plane change with angle 𝑘 𝑗 𝜋, on the point of the image 𝑥𝑗 ,as shown in Figure 1.2.
angle 𝑘 𝑗 𝜋 is outside the terms of the 𝑧-plane at the point𝑊𝑗 .

It is assumed that the sides of the 𝑧-plane do not intersect each other and take opposite corners clockwise.
Outside corners can be approximated by the angle between𝜋 and - 𝜋, so that
−1 < 𝑘 𝑗 < 1, If the terms of n-closed, the number of outer corner is 2𝜋.To prove it is seen to
have sided closed (n + 1), see Figure 1.3

Figure 1.3.Closed 𝑛-image has (𝑛 + 1) plane ( see [3]).
It has known that 𝑘 𝑗 𝜋 is the magnitude of the outer corner at the point 𝑊𝑗 which is the image of a point 𝑥𝑗 .If
many terms have side n + 1, then
𝑘 2 𝜋 = 𝜙2 − 𝜙1
𝑘 3 𝜋 = 𝜙3 − 𝜙2
𝑘 4 𝜋 = 𝜙4 − 𝜙3
⋮
𝑘 𝑛 𝜋 = 𝜙 𝑛 − 𝜙 𝑛−1
While the angle 𝑘 1 𝜋 = 𝜙1 − 𝜙 𝑛+1 and 𝑘 𝑛+1 𝜋 = 𝜙 𝑛+1 + 2𝜋 − 𝜙 𝑛 .
In terms of -n. 𝑘 𝑛+1 𝜋 = 0 so that 𝜙 𝑛 = 𝜙 𝑛+1 + 2𝜋 . Thus, the
𝑘1 𝜋 + 𝑘2 𝜋 + 𝑘3 𝜋 + ⋯ + 𝑘 𝑛 𝜋 = (𝜙1 − 𝜙 𝑛+1 ) + (𝜙2 − 𝜙1 ) + (𝜙3 − 𝜙2 ) + ⋯ + (𝜙 𝑛 − 𝜙 𝑛+1 )
(𝑘1 + 𝑘2 + 𝑘3 + ⋯ + 𝑘 𝑛 )𝜋 = (𝜙 𝑛 − 𝜙 𝑛+1 )
= 2𝜋
𝑘1 + 𝑘2 + 𝑘3 + ⋯ + 𝑘 𝑛 = 2 (1.17)
So it is clear that 𝑘 𝑗 with 𝑗 = 1, 2, 3, . . . , 𝑛satisfy the condition
𝑘1 + 𝑘2 + 𝑘3 + ⋯ + 𝑘 𝑛 = 2 , −1 < 𝑘 𝑗 < 1.
End of proof.
