Study Notes

Understanding the Relationship Between Analytic Functions and Cauchy-Riemann Equations

The Cauchy-Riemann equations are a fundamental concept in complex analysis, providing a necessary and sufficient condition for a function to be differentiable in the complex sense. These equations consist of a system of two partial differential equations:

$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}$$
$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = -\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}$$

where $$f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y)$$ is a complex function.

Analytic Functions and Cauchy-Riemann Equations

Analytic functions, also known as holomorphic functions, are those that satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations. These functions are important in complex analysis because they allow for the application of powerful tools and techniques, such as the Cauchy-Riemann equations, to study their properties and behavior. Some basic properties of analytic functions include:

Preservation of angles: If a function $$f(z)$$ is analytic, then the level curves $$u = c$$ and $$v = c$$ are orthogonal where they intersect.
Uniqueness of analytic extensions: If a function $$f(z)$$ is analytic in a simply connected domain and has an analytic extension to a larger domain, then the original function was already defined in the larger domain.
Analytic continuation: If a function $$f(z)$$ is analytic in a domain $$D$$, then it can be analytically continued to any point in the complex plane that can be reached from a point in $$D$$ by analytic functions.

Examples of Analytic Functions

Some examples of analytic functions include:

Constant functions: $$f(z) = c$$, where $$c$$ is a constant (allowed to be complex).
Exponential functions: $$f(z) = e^z$$.
Logarithmic functions: $$f(z) = \log z$$ (defined on a suitable domain).

Solving the Cauchy-Riemann Equations

The Cauchy-Riemann equations can be used to determine if a function is analytic by checking if the partial derivatives of the real and imaginary parts of the function satisfy the equations. If the equations are satisfied, then the function is analytic. Conversely, if a function is analytic, then its partial derivatives will satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations.

In summary, the Cauchy-Riemann equations are a crucial tool in complex analysis for understanding the relationship between analytic functions and their properties. They provide a way to determine if a function is analytic and, conversely, if a function is analytic, they can be used to study its behavior and properties.
