Functions of A Complex Variables I
Functions of a complex variable provide us some powerful and
widely useful tools in theoretical physics.
• Some important physical quantities are complex variables (the
wave-function )
• Evaluating definite integrals.
• Obtaining asymptotic solutions of differentials
equations.
• Integral transforms
• Many Physical quantities that were originally real become complex
as simple theory is made more general. The energy
(  the finite life time).

We here go through the complex algebra briefly.
A complex number z = (x,y) = x + iy, Where.
We will see that the ordering of two real numbers (x,y) is significant,
i.e. in general x + iy  y + ix
X: the real part, labeled by Re(z); y: the imaginary part, labeled by Im(z)
Three frequently used representations:
(1) Cartesian representation: x+iy
(2) polar representation, we may write
z=r(cos  + i sin) or
r – the modulus or magnitude of z
 - the argument or phase of z
1i
i
erz 

r – the modulus or magnitude of z
 - the argument or phase of z
The relation between Cartesian
and polar representation:
The choice of polar representation or Cartesian representation is a
matter of convenience. Addition and subtraction of complex variables
are easier in the Cartesian representation. Multiplication, division,
powers, roots are easier to handle in polar form,

From z, complex functions f(z) may be constructed. They can be
written
f(z) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y)
in which v and u are real functions.
For example if , we have
The relationship between z and f(z) is best pictured as a

Theorem
A necessary condition for a fun.
f(z)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y)
to be diff. at a point z0 is that the C-R eq. hold at
z0.
Consequently, if f is analytic in an open set G,
then the C-R eq. must hold at every point of G.

Application of Theorem
To show that a function is NOT analytic, it
suffices to show that the C-R eq. are not
satisfied

Cauchy – Riemann conditions
Having established complex functions, we now proceed to
differentiate them. The derivative of f(z), like that of a real function, is
defined by
provided that the limit is independent of the particular approach to the
point z. For real variable, we require that
Now, with z (or zo) some point in a plane, our requirement that the
limit be independent of the direction of approach is very restrictive.

Assuming the partial derivatives exist. For a second approach, we set
x = 0 and then let y 0. This leads to
If we have a derivative, the above two results must be identical. So,

These are the famous Cauchy-Riemann conditions. These Cauchy-
Riemann conditions are necessary for the existence of a derivative, that
is, if exists, the C-R conditions must hold.
Conversely, if the C-R conditions are satisfied and the partial
derivatives of u(x,y) and v(x,y) are continuous, exists.

As an alternative, the contour may be defined by

complex sum of real integrals. It’s somewhat analogous to the case of
the vector integral.

•Multiply connected regions
The original statement of our theorem demanded a simply connected
region. This restriction may easily be relaxed by the creation of a
barrier, a contour line. Consider the multiply connected region of
Fig.1.6 In which f(z) is not defined for the interior R
Cauchy’s integral theorem is not valid for the contour C, but we can
construct a C for which the theorem holds. If line segments DE and
GA arbitrarily close together, then

Cauchy’s Integral Formula
Cauchy’s integral formula: If f(z) is analytic on and within a closed contour C
then
in which z0 is some point in the interior region bounded by C. Note that
here z-z0 0 and the integral is well defined.
Although f(z) is assumed analytic, the integrand (f(z)/z-z0) is not
analytic at z=z0 unless f(z0)=0. If the contour is deformed as in Fig.1.8
Cauchy’s integral theorem applies.
So we have

Let , here r is small and will eventually be made to

(r0)
Here is a remarkable result. The value of an analytic function is given at
an interior point at z=z0 once the values on the boundary C are
specified.
What happens if z0 is exterior to C?
In this case the entire integral is analytic on and within C, so the
integral vanishes.

Conversely, the slightest deviation of an analytic function from a
constant value implies that there must be at least one singularity
somewhere in the infinite complex plane. Apart from the trivial constant

with them, and to use them further.

Schwarz reflection principle
From the binomial expansion of for integer n (as an
assignment), it is easy to see, for real x0
Schwarz reflection principle:
If a function f(z) is (1) analytic over some region including the real axis
and (2) real when z is real, then
We expand f(z) about some point (nonsingular) point x0 on the real axis
because f(z) is analytic at z=x0.
Since f(z) is real when z is real, the n-th derivate must be real.

Laurent Series

Drawing an imaginary contour line to convert our region into a simply

with radii r2 and r1, and obtain
We let r2 r and r1 R, so for C1, while for C2, .

expand f(z) into a series involving powers of z.
We can not find a Maclaurin series for f(z) since it is not analytic at
z=0. But we do know that expansion
Hence, when 0<|z|<1

The coefficient a-1=Res f (z0) in the Laurent expansion is called the residue of f (z) at z = z0.
If the contour encloses multiple isolated
