Complex Numbers:
In the system of real numbers R we can solve all quadratic equations of the
form
0,0x2
≠=++ acbxa , and the discriminant 042
≥− acb . When the discriminant
042
<− acb , the solution of this quadratic equation do not belong to the
system of .
In fact , a simple quadratic equation of the form 012
=+x , does possesses
solution in real. This difficulty was overcame by introducing the imaginary
part unit i, where 12
−=i .
Thus the set of complex numbers defined as . }{ 1,:)( −=∈+= iandRyxiyxC .
Some Basic Results:
1. If z = x +iy is a complex number, then the complex number iyxz −= is
called the complex conjugate of z , and 22

2.If z= x+iy is a complex number , then the modulus of z, denoted by
22
yz += x
3. A complex number z = x + iy is represented by a point p(x ,y) in the
Cartesian plane with abscissa x and ordinate y. Then the x-axis is called real
axis and the y-axis is called the imaginary axis.The point p(x, y) is referred
to as the point z.

of the circle C with ( )00 , yx and radius R. In particular 1z = represents the
circle with center at the origin and radius equal to 1.
Functions of a complex variable:
Let C be a set complex numbers. If to each complex number z in C there
corresponds a unique complex number w ., then w is called a complex
function of z defined on C, and we write w = f(z). Hence ,w has a real part ,
say u and an imaginary part , say v. Then , w has the representation
W= f(z) = u(x,y) + i v(x,y) (Cartesian form)
W = u(r,θ) + i v(r,θ) (polar form)
Continuity :
A complex valued function f(z) is said to be continuous at a point 0z if f(z)
is defined at 0z and 0zz

.
Note:
1. If a complex valued function f(z) is differentiable at a point 0z , then
it is continuous at 0z .
2. The converse of the above result is not always true. The continuity of
a complex function need not imply its differentiability.

complex plane . The derivative of a function at a point is unique if it exists.
Analytic Functions. Cauchy-Riemann equations.
In complex analysis we are interested in the functions, which are
differentiable in some domain, called the analytic functions. A large variety
of functions of complex variables which are useful for applications purpose
are analytic.
A Function f(z) is said to be analytic at a point 0z , if it is differentiable
at 0z and, in addition , it is differentiable throughout some
neighborhood of 0z .
Further a function f(z) is said to be analytic in a domain D if f(z) is defined
and differentiable at all points of D. In fact , analyticity is a ‘global ‘
property while differentiability is a ‘local’ property.
The terms regular and holomorphic are also used in place of analytic.
Cauchy-Riemann Equations :
Cauchy –Riemann equations provide a criterion for the analyticity of a
complex function W = f(z) = u(x,y) + i v(x,y) .
Statement: Necessary conditions for a function to be analytic.:
If f(z) = u(x,y) + i v(x,y) is continuous in some neighborhood of a point
z= x+ iy and is differentiable at z , then the first order partial derivatives of
u(x,y) and v(x,y) exist and satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations

These are known as the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Satisfaction of these
equations is necessary for differentiability and analyticity of the function f(z)
at a given point. Thus, if a function f(z) does not satisfy the Cauchy-
Riemann equations at a point, it is not differentiable and hence not analytic
at that point.

Construction of An Analytic Function When real or
Imaginary part is Given
(Putting in Exact differential M dx + N dy = 0)
The Cauchy-Riemann equations provide a method of constructing
an analytic function f(z) = u+iv when u or v or vu ± is given.

Because u is harmonic. This shows that M dx + N dy is an exact differential.
Consequently , v can be obtained by integrating M w.r.t. x by treating y as a
constant and integrating w.r.t. y only those terms in N that do not contain x,
and adding the results.

An alternative method of finding ivu ± when u or v or vu ±

Suppose we are required to find an analytic function f(z) = u+ iv
when u is given. We recall that

    Unit_III Complex Numbers: In thesystem of real numbers R we can solve all quadratic equations of the form 0,0x2 ≠=++ acbxa , and the discriminant 042 ≥− acb . When the discriminant 042 <− acb , the solution of this quadratic equation do not belong to the system of . In fact , a simple quadratic equation of the form 012 =+x , does possesses solution in real. This difficulty was overcame by introducing the imaginary part unit i, where 12 −=i . Thus the set of complex numbers defined as . }{ 1,:)( −=∈+= iandRyxiyxC . Some Basic Results: 1.

A complex number z = x + iy is represented by a point p(x ,y) in the Cartesian plane with abscissa x and ordinate y. Then the x-axis is called real axis and the y-axis is called the imaginary axis.The point p(x, y) is referred to as the point z. Let OP= r and .θ=∠XOP Then θθ rsiny,cosrx == Every Complex number can z = x +iy be expressed in the form as given below )isinr(cosz θθ += polar form θi rez = exponential form We observe that 22xr y+= the modulus of z and it represents the distance of the point z from the origin.

In particular 1z = represents the circle with center at the origin and radius equal to 1. Functions of a complex variable: Let C be a set complex numbers. If to each complex number z in C there corresponds a unique complex number w ., then w is called a complex function of z defined on C, and we write w = f(z). Hence ,w has a real part , say u and an imaginary part , say v. Then , w has the representation W= f(z) = u(x,y) + i v(x,y) (Cartesian form) W = u(r,θ) + i v(r,θ) (polar form) Continuity : A complex valued function f(z) is said to be continuous at a point 0z if f(z) is defined at 0z and 0zz zf(z)lim0 =→ . Note: 1. If a complex valued function f(z) is differentiable at a point 0z , then it is continuous at 0z . 2. The converse of the above result is not always true. The continuity of a complex function need not imply its differentiability. Derivative of a complex function: The derivative of a complex function f at a point 0zz = , denoted by ),(zf 0 ′ is defined as z z z ∆ −∆+ = →∆ )f(z)f(z )(f 00 0z 0 1 lim , provided this limit exists. Substituting havewe,z-zz 0=∆ z z ∆ − = →∆ )f(z)f(z )(f 0 0z 0 1 lim We should remember that by the definition of limit f(z) is defined in a neighborhood of 0z and z may approach 0z from any direction in the complex plane . The derivative of a function at a point is unique if it exists. Analytic Functions. Cauchy-Riemann equations. In complex analysis we are interested in the functions, which are differentiable in some domain, called the analytic functions. A large variety of functions of complex variables which are useful for applications purpose are analytic.
  • 3.
    A Function f(z)is said to be analytic at a point 0z , if it is differentiable at 0z and, in addition , it is differentiable throughout some neighborhood of 0z . Further a function f(z) is said to be analytic in a domain D if f(z) is defined and differentiable at all points of D. In fact , analyticity is a ‘global ‘ property while differentiability is a ‘local’ property. The terms regular and holomorphic are also used in place of analytic. Cauchy-Riemann Equations : Cauchy –Riemann equations provide a criterion for the analyticity of a complex function W = f(z) = u(x,y) + i v(x,y) . Statement: Necessary conditions for a function to be analytic.: If f(z) = u(x,y) + i v(x,y) is continuous in some neighborhood of a point z= x+ iy and is differentiable at z , then the first order partial derivatives of u(x,y) and v(x,y) exist and satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations xyyx vuvu −== and . At the point z = x + iy. Proof: Since f(z) is differentiable at z, we have z z z ∆ −∆+ = →∆ )f(z)f(z )(f lim0z 1 { } { } yi )yv(x,i(x.y)uy)yx,(xv)yy,(u )(f lim0z 1 ∆+∆ +−∆+∆++∆+∆+ = →∆ x ixx z --------(I) Let us assume z∆ to wholly real and wholly imaginary.

These are known as the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Satisfaction of these equations is necessary for differentiability and analyticity of the function f(z) at a given point. Thus, if a function f(z) does not satisfy the Cauchy- Riemann equations at a point, it is not differentiable and hence not analytic at that point.

Suppose u is given, we determine the differential dv , since v = v(x,y), dy y v dx x v dv ∂ ∂ + ∂ ∂ = using C-R equations ,this becomes dyNdxM.dy x u dx y u dv += ∂ ∂ + ∂ ∂ −= And it is clear that y M x N ∂ ∂ − ∂ ∂ = 0 y u x u 2 2 2 2 = ∂ ∂ + ∂ ∂ Because u is harmonic. This shows that M dx + N dy is an exact differential. Consequently , v can be obtained by integrating M w.r.t. x by treating y as a constant and integrating w.r.t. y only those terms in N that do not contain x, and adding the results. Similarly, if v is given then by using dy y u dx x u du ∂ ∂ + ∂ ∂ = dy x v dx y v ∂ ∂ − ∂ ∂ = . Following the procedure explained above we find u, and hence f(z) u + iv can be obtained. Analogous procedure is adopted to find u+iv when vu ± is given. Milne-Thomson Method: An alternative method of finding ivu ± when u or v or vu ± is given. Suppose we are required to find an analytic function f(z) = u+ iv when u is given. We recall that
