UNIT 1
Function of Complex Variable
1.1 INTRODUCTION
m
A complex number z is an ordered pair (x, y) of real numbers and is written as
o
z = x + iy, where i = − 1 .
.c
The real numbers x and y are called the real and Y
imaginary parts of z. In the Argand’s diagram, the complex
P (x, y)
O x M X
z = r (cos θ + i sin θ) = reiθ
If z = x + iy, then the complex number x – iy is called the conjugate of the complex
as
z+z z−z
.c
Re(z) = , Im(z) = .

2. Open disk. The set of points which satisfies the equation |z – z0| < δ defines an open disk
of radius δ with centre at z0 = (x0, y0). This set consists of all points which lie inside circle C.
3. Closed disk. The set of points which satisfies the equation |z – z0| ≤ δ defines a closed disk
of radius δ with centre at z0 = (x0, y0). This set consists of all points which lie inside and on the
boundary of circle C.
4. Annulus. The set of points which lie between two concentric circles C1 : |z – a| = r1 and
C2 : |z – a| = r2 defines an open annulus i.e., the set of points which satisfies the inequality r1
< |z – a| < r2.
The set of points which satisfies the inequality r1 ≤ |z – a| ≤ r2 defines a closed annulus.
It is to be noted that r1 ≤ |z – a| < r2 is neither open nor closed.

9. Bounded set. An open set S is bounded if ∃ a positive real number M such that
| z | ≤ M for all z ∈ S otherwise unbounded.
o
For example: the set S = {z : |z – z0| < r} is a bounded set while the set S = {z : |z – z0| > r} is
.c
an unbounded set.
10. Connected set. An open set S is connected if any two points z1 and z2 belonging to S can
ts
be joined by a polygonal line which is totally contained in S.
11. Domain. An open connected set is called a domain denoted by D.
n
12. Region. A region is a domain together with all, some or none of its boundary points. Thus
ra
a domain is always a region but a region may or may not be a domain.
13. Finite complex plane. The complex plane without the point z = ∞ is called the finite
complex plane.
pi
14. Extended complex plane. The complex plane to which the point z = ∞ has been added is
called the extended complex plane.
as
each value of a complex variable z(= x + iy) in a given region R, there correspond one or more
values of another complex variable w (= u + iv), then w is called a function of the complex
w
⇒ u = x2 – y2 and v = 2xy
Thus u and v, the real and imaginary parts of w, are functions of the real variables x and y.
∴ w = f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y)
If to each value of z, there corresponds one and only one value of w, then w is called a
single-valued function of z. If to each value of z, there correspond more than one values of w,
then w is called a multi-valued function of z. For example, w = z is a multi-valued function.
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.

.c
A single-valued function f(z) is said to be continuous at a point z = z0 if f(z0) exists, lim f(z)
z → z0
at z0.
If the function f(z) = u + iv is continuous at z0 = x0 + iy0 then the real functions u and v
are also continuous at the point (x0, y0). Therefore, we can discuss the continuity of a complex
pi
valued function by studying the continuity of its real and imaginary parts. If f(z) and g(z) are
f ( z)
as
continuous at a point z0 then the functions f(z) ± g(z), f(z) g(z) and , where g(z0) ≠ 0 are also
g( z)
continuous at z0.

Let w = f(z) be a single-valued function of the variable z(= x + iy), then the derivative or
w
dw f ( z + δz) − f ( z)
= f ′ ( z) = Lt
dz δz → 0 δz
provided the limit exists, independent of the manner in which δz → 0.
A function f(z) is said to be analytic at a point z0 if it is one-valued and differentiable not only
at z0 but at every point of some neighbourhood of z0. For example: ex (cos y + i sin y). A function
f(z) is said to be analytic in a certain domain D if it is analytic at every point of D.

The terms ‘regular’, ‘holomorphic’ and ‘monogenic’ are also sometimes used as synony-
mous with the term analytic.
m
A function f(z) which is analytic at every point of the finite complex plane is called an entire
function. Since the derivative of a polynomial exists at every point, a polynomial of any degree
o
is an entire function. Rational functions with non-zero denominators are also entire functions.

The conditions in (ii) are known as Cauchy-Riemann equations or briefly C-R

Proof. (a) Necessary Condition. Let w = f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) be analytic in a region R, then

Since the function w = f(z) is analytic in the region R, the limit (1) must exist independ-
ent of the manner in which δz → 0, i.e., along whichever path δx and δy → 0.
First, let δz → 0 along a line parallel to x-axis so that δy = 0 and δz = δx.
[since z = x + iy, z + δz = (x + δx) + i(y + δy) and δz = δx + iδy]
FG δu + i δv IJ = ∂u + i ∂v

Thus f ′(z) exists, because , exist.

Hence f(z) is analytic.
Note 1. The real and imaginary parts of an analytic function are called conjugate functions. Thus, if
f(z) = u(x, y) + iv (x, y) is an analytic function, then u(x, y) and v(x, y) are conjugate functions. The relation
between two conjugate functions is given by C-R equations.
Note 2. When a function f(z) is known to be analytic, it can be differentiated in the ordinary way as if z
is a real variable.
Thus, f(z) = z2 ⇒ f ′(z) = 2z
f(z) = sin z ⇒ f ′(z) = cos z etc.

Since the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function satisfy the Laplace’s equation in
two variables, these conjugate functions provide solutions to a number of field and flow problems.
For example, consider the two dimensional irrotational motion of an incompressible
fluid, in planes parallel to xy-plane.

In the study of electrostatics and gravitational fields, the curves φ(x, y) = c and ψ (x, y) = c′
are called equipotential lines and lines of force respectively. In heat flow problems, the
curves φ (x, y) = c and ψ (x, y) = c′ are known as isothermals and heat flow lines respectively.
If f(z) = u + iv is an analytic function where both u(x, y) and v(x, y) are conjugate functions,

Now this limit is not unique since it depends on m. Therefore, f ′(0) does not exist.
Hence the function f(z) is not regular at the origin.
Example 11. Prove that the function f(z) defined by

then u= , v =
x 2 + y2 x 2 + y2
Since z ≠ 0 ⇒ x ≠ 0, y ≠ 0
∴ u and v are rational functions of x and y with non-zero denominators. Thus, u, v and
hence f(z) are continuous functions when z ≠ 0. To test them for continuity at z = 0, on changing
u, v to polar co-ordinates by putting x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ, we get

Similarly, Lt v = 0

1.21 SIMPLY AND MULTIPLY CONNECTED REGIONS
A curve is called simple closed curve if it does not cross itself (Fig. 1). A curve which crosses
pi
the region only, i.e., every closed curve lying in it can be contracted indefinitely without pass-
ing out of it. A region which is not simply connected is called a multiply connected region. In
plain terms, a simply connected region is one which has no holes. Figure 3 shows a multiply
g
connected region R enclosed between two separate curves C1 and C2. (There can be more than
.c
two separate curves). We can convert a multiply connected region into a simply connected one,
by giving it one or more cuts (e.g. along the dotted line AB).

and z = 3 from centre are 3 and 1. Hence if a circle is drawn with centre at z = 4 and radius 1

circle C with its centre z = a and radius as small as we wish and another large concentric circle

1.35 THEOREMS
(1) The limit point of the zeros of a function f(z) is an isolated essential singularity.
g
Proof. Let z1, z2, z3, ...... be an infinite set of zeros of f(z). Let z0 be their limit point.
.c
(i) If z0 is a point of the set, then z0 will be a zero of f(z) and will have in its neighbour-
w
hood, a cluster of zeros. But zeros are isolated, so, z0 cannot be a zero of f(z) unless f(z) is
identically zero in D.
w
(ii) If f(z) is not identically zero in D, then z0 is not a zero of f(z). But z0 is surrounded by
many zeros. So z0 is a singularity. Also z0 is not a pole since f(z) does not tend to infinity in the

Since there are only two terms in the negative powers of z – a i.e., there are only 2

When the poles of f(z) lie on the real axis and also within the semi-circular region, then those

which lie on the real axis can be avoided by drawing small semi-circles Cr , Cr′ etc. about those
