Chapter 10 introduces functions of a complex variable, focusing on analytic functions and their properties. It discusses the complex number system, sets of points in the complex plane, and various types of regions, including open and closed sets, bounded and unbounded sets, and domains. The chapter also defines complex-valued functions, their domains, and the concept of single-valued versus multiple-valued functions.

Functions of a Complex Variable:
Analytic Functions
10.1 Introduction
While studying the real number system IR, we have seen that there does not exist any real number
whose square is a negative real number. Thus, the square root of a negative real number is not a valid
arithmetic operation in IR and hence an equation of the form x? + 1 = 0 has no roots in IR. If these
roots are to be determined, we need another number system called the complex number system
defined on a complex plane. In a first course in Mathematics, you have studied the algebra of
complex numbers, polar form of a complex number (defined in the Argand diagram), DeMoivre’s
theorem, powers and roots of complex numbers. In this chapter, we shall introduce the complex
sariable and functions of a complex variable. Further, we shall study the concept of limits, continuity
and differentiability of the functions of a complex variable. In the process, we are led to the notion
of an analytic function which is very important in any application of the complex variable theory.
10.2 Sets of Points in the Complex Plane
Let S be a non-empty set of complex numbers. Let 2) € S be any complex number and 5be a positive
real number. Then, we define the following:
Circle The set of points which satisfies the equation
Jz—2y)= 6 or (- a) + - yo) =F (10.1)
defines a circle C of radius 5 with centre at zy = (Xo. Yo). This set consists of all points which lie on
the boundary of the circle C (Fig, 10.1a). Any point z on this circle has the polar form z =z, + de®.
As 6 varies form 0 to 2z, z traverses once over this circle in the counter clockwise direction. If
% = 0, then the equation |z| = 6 defines a circle of radius 5 about the origin.10.2. Engineering Mathematies

it is called the devered neighborhood of the point zy and is written as 0 < |z— zl < 6.

oundary point A point z is a boundary point of S, if every 5- neighborhood of z contains at least
point of Sand at least one point not in S. For example, for the set of points defined by Im (z) 2 1,
wints on the Tine vy = 1 are the boundary points. The points on the circle |z — zo] = r are the
points for the disk |z ~ z9| < r. The point Q in Fig. 10.1¢ is a boundary point. The totality
| the boundary points define the boundary of S.
Open set A set S is open, if every point of S is an interior point, For example, the sets
zol 7} is an unbounded set.
Connected set An open set S is connected, if any tw6 points 2, and z, belonging to S can be joined
by @ polygonal line (a path which consists of finitely many straight line segments) which is totally
contained in S (Fig. 10.2).
Domain An open connected set is called a domain, Usually, a domain is denoted by D.
Region A region is a domain together with all or some or none of its boundary points. Thus, a
domain is always a region but a region may or may not be a domain, For example, an open disk is
both a domain and a region but a closed disk is a region and not a domain, Usually, a region is
denoted by R.10.4 Engineering Mathematics

10.3 Functions of a Complex Variable
We define the function of a complex variable in a similar way as the function of a real variable. Let
S and S° be two non-empty sets of complex numbers. If there is a rule f, which assigns a complex
number w in S” for each z in S, then fis said to be a complex valued function of a complex variable
zand is written as.
w=f(2) (10.6)
The set S is called the domain of definition of f. When the set S, on which f is defined is not specified,
we consider the so called natural domain of definition of the function f to be the set S, which can10.6 Engineering Mathematics

discussion to those parts of the domain in which the multiple-valued function behaves like a single-
valued function. Fach one of these single-valued functions is called a branch of the multiple-valued
function, Thus, the term function implies a single-valued function unless stated otherwise.
Remark 1
(a) Given any two real valued functions wand v in two real variables x and y, we can write
Ww 4 (%..¥) + i2(%, y), which defines a complex valued function. However, it may not always
be possible to write w as a function of z. For example, if u(x, y) = 2x + y and v(x, y) = 6xy,
we can write w = (2x + y) + i(6xy), but it is not possible to write w as a function of z alone
and obtain /

Parts of f(z) can be expressed as real valued functions of the real variables r and @. Thus,
we can also write
w=f@) = f(re®) = u(r, 8) + iv(r, 8). (10.10)
Example 10.2 Find the image of the point z = 2 + 3/ under the transformation w = f(e) = 2(z ~ 2/).

10.4 Elementary Functions
In this section, we introduce a few elementary functions of a complex variable and analyse them.
These functions, /(2), reduce to their counterparts f(x), the corresponding functions of real variable

We now discuss some complex elementary functions which are often used.

Substituting @ = iy in Eq. (10.12), we get
Using the Maclaurin’s series expansion of sin y and cos y, we obtain the Euler's formula

Hence, we obtain from Eq. (10.13)

Therefore, the image of the point z = (x, y) in the z-plane is the point w = (u, v) in the w-plane,
where w= e" cosy and v= e" sin y.
When y = 0, that is, z =x is real, it reduces to the exponential function of the real variable x
Substituting x = z in the Maclaurin’s series for the real exponential function
(10.16)
Taking the limit of the magnitude of the ratio of successive terms in the complex series (10.16),
we get
Hence, the series expansion for the complex exponential function e converges for all z,
The exponential function satisfies the following properties, which can be easily verified,

Similarly, we obtain
sin z = sin x cosh y + i cos x sinh y. (10.18)
The other trigonometric functions are defined as

Therefore, |cos z| and hence cos z in not a bounded function.

inch of the multiple-valued function In z. If we restrict arg (z) to the interval — a < arg (z) $ 7,
