Chapter 2: Complex Functions 2-1 Complex Functions Definition: Let S be a set of complex numbers. A function f defined on S is a rule that assigns to each z in S exactly one complex number w. The number w is called the value of f at z and is denoted by f (z ) ; that is, w = f (z ). The set S is called the domain of definition of f , and is denoted by Dom ( f ). The range of f is the set f (z ) : z  S  , and is denoted by Ran ( f ). Remark: (1) If only one value of w corresponds to each value of z , we say that w is a single- valued function of z or that f (z ) is single-valued. For example, w = z 2. (2) If more than one value of w corresponds to each value of z , we say that w is a multi-valued function of z. For example, if w 2 = z (or w = z ), then to each value of z  0 there are two values of w. Hence w 2 = z defines a multi-valued function of z. Example: If f (z ) = z 2 − (2 + i )z , evaluate complex function f at the points i and 1 + i. Solution: f (i ) = (i ) 2 − (2 + i )(i ) = −1 − 2i + 1 = −2i. f (1 + i ) = (1 + i ) 2 − (2 + i )(1 + i ) = 1 + 2i − 1 − 2 − i 2 − 3i = −1 − i Real and Imaginary Parts of a Complex Function: It is often helpful to express the inputs and the outputs a complex function in terms of their real and imaginary parts. If w = f (z ) is a single-valued function, then the image of a complex number z = x + iy under f is a complex number w = u + iv. That is, by setting z = x + iy , we can express any complex function w = f (z ) in terms of two real functions as: f (z ) =u (x , y ) + iv (x , y ) (1-1) The functions u =u (x , y ) and v = v (x , y ) (1-2) Page 1 of 26 are called the real and imaginary parts of f, respectively, in terms of the real variables x and y. Remark: To represent w = f (z ) graphically, we take two Argand diagrams: one to represent the point z and the other to represent w. The former diagram is called the XOY -plane or the z-plane and the latter UOV -plane or the w-plane. Thus, given a point ( x , y ) in the z-plane, such as P in Figure (2-1), there corresponds a point (u ,v ) in the w-plane, say P  in Figure (2-2). The set of equations (1.2) [or the Figure (2-1) Figure (2-2) equivalent, w = f (z ) ] is called a transformation. We say that point P is mapped or transformed into point P  by means of the transformation and call P  the image of P. Remark: If w = f (z ) is multi-valued, a point (or curve) in the z-plane is mapped in general into more than one point (or curve) in the w-plane. Example: If , f (z ) = z 2 , then f (x + iy ) = (x + iy ) 2 = x 2 − y 2 + 2ixy. Hence the transformation is u (x , y ) = x 2 − y 2 and v (x , y ) = 2xy Then, the image of a point (1, 2) in the z-plane is the point (-3, 4) in the w-plane. Page 2 of 26 Example: Find the real and imaginary parts of the following functions (1) f (z ) = z 2 (2) g (z ) = z 2 − (2 + i )z (3) h (z ) = z + 2 Re(z ) Solution: (1) If f (z ) = z 2 , then f (x + iy ) = (x + iy ) 2 = x 2 − y 2 + 2ixy. Hence u (x , y ) = x 2 − y 2 and v (x , y ) = 2xy. (2) Since g (z ) = z 2 − (2 + i )z , then g (z ) = (x + iy ) 2 − (2 + i )(x + iy ) = x 2 − y 2 + 2ixy − 2x − 2iy − ix + y , g (z ) = x 2 − y 2 − 2x + y + i (2xy − x − 2 y ). Hence u (x , y ) = x 2 − y 2 − 2x + y and v (x , y ) = 2xy − x − 2 y. (3) Since h (z ) = z + 2 Re(z ) , then h (z ) = x + iy + 2Re(x + iy ) = x + iy + 2x = 3x + iy. Hence u (x , y ) = 3x and v (x , y ) = y. Complex function in polar form: Given a complex function w = f (z ) , if we replace the symbol z with r ( cos + i sin  ) , then we can write this function as: f (z ) =u (r , ) + iv (r , ) (1-3) We still call the real functions u (r , ) and v ( r , ) in (1-3) are called the real and imaginary parts of f, respectively. For example, replacing z with r ( cos + i sin  ) in the function f (z ) = z 2 , yields, by de Moivre’s formula, Page 3 of 26  f (z ) = ( r ( cos + i sin  ) ) = r 2 ( cos 2 + i sin 2 ) = r 2 cos 2 + ir 2 sin 2. 2 Hence u (r , ) = r 2 cos 2 and v (r , ) = r 2 sin 2.

The domain of the function P ( z ) is. (2) Rational Algebraic Functions: The function P (z ) f (z ) = Q (z ) is a rational function, where P ( z ) , Q ( z ) are polynomial functions. The domain of the function f is z  : Q (z )  0. Example: Find the domain of the following functions: (1) f (z ) = z (2) g (z ) = iz z +12 z +z Solution: (1) f (z ) = z , z 2 + 1 = 0  z 2 = −1  z 2 = i 2  z = i z +12 Dom(f ) = z  : z 2 + 1  0 = − i , − i . (2) g (z ) = iz , z + z = 0  x + iy + x − iy = 0  x = 0 z +z   Dom(f ) = z  : z + z  0 = z  : Re ( z )  0. Page 5 of 26 (3) Complex Exponential Function: Definition: The function e z defined by e z = e x e iy = e x ( cos y + i sin y ) Is called the complex exponential function. Modulus, Argument, and Conjugate Complex Exponential Function: If we express the complex number w = e z in polar form: w = e x ( cos y + i sin y ) = r ( cos + i sin  ). Then we see that r = e x and  = y + 2n , n = 0,  1, 2, Because r is the modulus and  is an argument of w, we have: e z = e x and arg(z ) = y + 2n , n = 0,  1, 2,. We know from calculus that e x  0 for all real x, and so it follows from e z = e x that e z  0. This implies that e z  0 for all complex z. A formula for the conjugate of the complex exponential e z is found using properties of the real cosine and sine functions. Since the real cosine function is even, we have cosy =cos(−y) for all y, and since the real sine function is odd, we have −sin y = sin(−y) for all y, and so: e z = e x ( cos y + i sin y ) = e x ( cos y − i sin y ) = e x e −iy = e x −iy = e z. Therefore, for all complex z, we have shown: ez =ez. Algebraic Properties of e z : If z 1 and z 2 are complex numbers, then (1) e 0 = 1. (2) e z 1e z 2 = e z 1 + z 2. z1 (3) e z 2 = e z 1 −z 2. e Page 6 of 26  (4) (e z ) = e nz , n = 0,  1, 2, n. Periodicity: We say that a complex function f is periodic with period T if f(z + T) = f(z) for all complex z. The real exponential function is not periodic, but the complex exponential function is because it is defined using the real cosine and sine functions, which are periodic. If we have e z + 2 i = e z (cos 2 + i sin  ). Since cos2π = 1 and sin2π = 0, this implies to: e z + 2 i = e z. Then the complex exponential function e z is periodic with a pure imaginary period 2 i. Now by repeating this process we find that e z + 2 n i = e z for n = 0,  1, 2,. Thus , 2πi, 4πi, 6πi, and so on, are also periods of e z. Example: Find the value of the following: (1) e  i (2) e − i (3) e 2 i (4) e −2 i Solution: (1) e  i = cos  + i sin  = −1 (2) e − i = cos  − i sin  = −1 (3) e 2 i = cos 2 + i sin 2 = 1 (4) e −2 i = cos 2 − i sin 2 = 1.

(2-1) By adding these equations and simplifying, we obtain an equation that relates the real cosine function with the complex exponential function: − ix cos x = e + e. ix (2-2) 2 In a similar manner, if we subtract the two equations in (2-1), then we obtain an expression for the real sine function: − ix sin x = e − e. ix (2-3) 2i The formulas for the real cosine and sine functions given in (2-2) and (2-3) can be used to define the complex sine and cosine functions. Namely, we define these complex trigonometric functions by replacing the real variable x with the complex variable z in (2-2) and (2-3). Definition: The complex sine and cosine functions are defined by: − iz − iz cos z = e iz + e and sin z = e iz − e. (2-4) 2 2i Furthermore, as in calculus we define − iz i (e iz + e − iz ) tan z = sin z = e iz − e − iz , iz cot z = cos z = iz , cos z i (e + e ) sin z e − e − iz sec z = 1 = 2 , csc z = 1 = iz 2i −iz. cos z e + e −iz iz sin z e − e Equation (2-4) also shows that Euler’s formula is valid in complex: e iz = cos z + i sin z for all z. Page 9 of 26 Periodicity of Trigonometric Functions: (1) sin z and cos z are periodic functions with period 2 , that is sin( z + 2 ) = sin z and cos(z + 2 ) = cos z for all z. Proof: i ( z + 2 ) sin(z + 2 ) = e − e −i ( z +2 ) = e iz +2 i − e −iz −2 i = e iz e 2 i − e −iz e −2 i 2i 2i 2i − iz  sin(z + 2 ) = e − e = sin z , where e 2 i = 1 and e −2 i = 1. iz 2i Similarly, we can show i ( z + 2 ) cos(z + 2 ) = e + e −i ( z +2 ) = e iz +2 i + e −iz −2 i = e iz + e −iz = cos z. 2 2 2 (2) tan z and cot z are periodic functions with period  , that is tan(z +  ) = tan z and cot( z + 2 ) = cot z for all z. (3) secz and cscz are periodic functions with period 2 , that is sec(z + 2 ) = sec z and csc(z + 2 ) = csc z for all z. Trigonometric Formulas for Complex Quantities: Many of the properties familiar in the case of real trigonometric functions also hold for the complex trigonometric functions.

(Note that z = 0 is impossible, since e w  0 for all w ) If we set w = u + iv and z = re i  , this becomes e u +iv = re i   e u = r and v =   u = ln r and v = . Therefore, given a nonzero complex number z we have shown that (w = u + iv = ln z ): If e w = z , then w = ln z = ln r + i . ( r =| z | 0 and  = arg(z ) ) (2-5) Since the argument of z is determined only up to integer multiples of 2 , the complex natural logarithm ln z (z  0) is multi-valued function (infinitely many-valued). Then the complex natural logarithm ln z (z  0) is defined by w = ln z = ln r + i ( + 2n ), n = 0,  1,  2, (z = re i  = re i ( + 2 n ) ). (2-6) Definition: The multi-valued function ln z (z  0) defined by: ln z = ln | z | +i arg(z ). (2-7) Is called the complex logarithm. From (2-5) we see that the complex logarithm can be used to find all solutions to the exponential equation e w = z when z isa nonzero complex number. Example: Find all complex solutions to each of the following equations: (1) e w = i (2) e w = 1 + i (3) e w = −2. Solution: For each equation e w = z , the set of solutions is given by w = ln z ; ln z is given by (2-7). Page 18 of 26 (1) If z = i , then z = 1 and arg(z ) =  + 2n , n = 0,  1,  2,. Hence from (2-7) we 2 have ( ) w = ln i = ln1 + i  + 2n , n = 0,  1,  2, 2. This implies to ( ) w = i  + 2n , n = 0,  1,  2, 2 , where ln1 = 0. Therefore, each value of w is a solution to e w = i. (2) If z = 1 + i , then z = 2 and arg(z ) =  + 2n , n = 0,  1,  2,. Hence, we have 4 ( ) w = ln(1 + i ) = ln 2 + i  + 2n , n = 0,  1,  2, 4. Therefore, each value of w is a solution to e w = 1 + i. (3) If z = −2 , then z = 2 and arg(z ) =  + 2n , n = 0,  1,  2, , and so w = ln(−2) = ln 2 + i ( + 2n ) , n = 0,  1,  2,. Therefore, each value of w is a solution to e w = −2. Principal Value of a Complex Logarithm: The value of ln z corresponding to the principal value Arg( z ) ( 0  Arg(z )  2 ) is denoted by Ln z called the principal value of ln z. Definition: The complex function Ln z defined by: Ln z = ln | z | +iArg(z ) , ( 0  Arg(z )  2 ) (2-8) Is called the principal value of the complex logarithm. Page 19 of 26 Example: Compute the principal value of the complex logarithm Ln z for: (1) z = i (2) z = 1 + i (3) z = −2. Solution: (1) If z = i , then z = 1 and Arg(z ) = . Hence from (2-8) we have 2 Ln i = ln1 +  i =  i. 2 2 (2) If z = 1 + i , then z = 2 and Arg(z ) =  , and so 4 Ln(1 + i ) = ln 2 +  i. 4 (3) If z = −2 , then z = 2 and Arg(z ) =  , and so Ln(−2) = ln 2 +  i. Algebraic Properties of ln z: If z 1 and z 2 are nonzero complex numbers and n is an integer, then (1) ln ( z 1z 2 ) = ln z 1 + ln z 2. z  (2) ln  1  = ln z 1 − ln z 2 z2  Remark: In general, ln z n  n ln z , for example ln i 2  2ln i ( ) ( ) ( ln i = ln | i | +i  + 2k  = 0 + i  + 2k  = i  + 2k  2 2 2 ) ( ) 1ln i = 2i  + 2k  = i ( + 4k  ) 2 ln i 2 = ln ( −1) = ln −1 + i ( + 2k  ) = 0 + i ( + 2k  ) = i ( + 2k  ).
