Complex Variable - Differentiation


In the narrow sense of the term, the theory of function of a complex variable is the theory of analytic functions (cf. Analytic function) of one or several complex variables. As an independent discipline, the theory of functions of a complex variable took shape in about the middle of the 19th century as the theory of analytic functions.

 

Complex function-

x + iy is a complex variable which is denoted by z

If for each value of the complex variable z = x + iy in a region R, we have one or more than one values of w = u + iv, then w is called a complex function of z.

And it is denoted as-

w = u(x , y) + iv(x , y) = f(z)

 

Neighbourhood of z0

Let a point z0 in the complex plane and z be any positive number, then the set of points z such that-

|z – z0|<ε

Is called ε- neighbourhood of z0

 

Limit of a function of a complex variable-

Suppose f(z) is a single valued function defined at all points in some neighbourhood of point z0-

The-

 

Example-1: Find-

Sol. Here we have-

Divide numerator and denominator by z3, we get-

 

Continuity- A function w = f(z) is said to be continuous at z = z0, if

Also if w = f(z) = u (x, y) + iv (x, y) is continuous at z = z0 then u (x, y), v (x, y) are also continuous at z = z0.

 

Differentiability-

Let f(z) be a single valued function of the variable z, then

f’(z) =

Provided that the limit exists and has the same value for all the different ways in which δz approaches to zero.

 

Example-2: if f(z) is a complex function given below, then discuss dz/dz at z = 0

Sol. If z0 along radius vector y = mx

=

=

But along v = x3,

In different paths we get different value of df/dz that means 0 and –i/2, in that case the function is not differentiable at z = 0.

 

Key takeaways-

2.     C-R equations in polar form are-

 


A function is said to be analytic at a point if f is differentiable not only at but every point of some neighborhood at .

 

Note-

1. A point at which the function is not differentiable is called singular point.

2. A function which is analytic everywhere is called an entire function.

3. An entire function is always analytic, differentiable and continuous function. (converse is not true)

4. Analytic function is always differentiable and continuous but converse is not true.

5. A differentiable function is always continuous but converse is not true.

 

The necessary condition for f(z) to be analytic-

1.        …………. (1)

2.    ……...…. (2)

Equation (1) and (2) are known as Cauchy-Riemann equations.

1.        …………. (1)

2.    ……...…. (2)

are continuous function of x and y in region R.

 

Important note-

1. If a function is analytic in a domain D, then u and v will satisfy Cauchy-Riemann conditions.

2. C-R conditions are necessary but not sufficient for analytic function.

3. C-R conditions are sufficient if the partial derivative are continuous.

1.

2.      are continuous function of x and y in region R.

Proof:-  Let f(z) be a simple valued function having      at each point in the region R. Then Cauchy-Reimann equation are satisfied by Taylor’s Theorem

Ignoring the terms of second power and higher power

We know C-R equation

Replacing

Respectively in (1) we get

 

Q. Show that is analytic at

Ans. The function f(z) is analytic at if the function is analytic at z=0

Since

Now is differentiable at z=0 and at all points in its neighbourhood Hence the function is analytic at z=0 and in turn f(z) is analytic at

 

Example-1: If w = log z, then find . Also determine where w is non-analytic.

Sol. Here we have

Therefore-

and
 

Again-

Hence the C-R conditions are satisfied also the partial derivatives are continuous except at (0 , 0).

So that w is analytic everywhere but not at z = 0

 

Example-2: Prove that the function is an analytical function.

Sol. Let =u+iv

Let =u and =v

Hence C-R-Equation satisfied.

 

Example-3: Prove that

Sol. Given that

Since      

V=2xy

But                                      

Hence 

 

Example-4: Show that polar form of C-R equations are-

Sol.             z = x + iy =

U and v are expressed in terms of r and θ.

Differentiate it partially w.r.t. r and θ, we get-

By equating real and imaginary parts, we get-

 

Key takeaways-

  1. A function is said to be analytic at a point if f is differentiable not only at but a every point of some neighborhood at .
  2. A point at which the function is not differentiable is called singular point.
  3. A function which is analytic everywhere is called an entire function.
  4. If a function is analytic in a domain D, then u and v will satisfy Cauchy-Riemann conditions.
  5. C-R conditions are necessary but not sufficient for analytic function.
  6. C-R conditions are sufficient if the partial derivative are continuous

 


A function which satisfies the Laplace equation is known as a harmonic function.

Theorem- if f(z) = u + iv is an analytic function, then u and v are both harmonic functions.

Proof:

Suppose f(z) = u + iv, be an analytic function, then we have 

Differentiate (1) with respect to x, we get

Differentiate (2) with respect to y, we get

Add 3 and 4-

Similarly-
 

So that u and v are harmonic functions.

 

Example: Prove that and are harmonic functions of (x, y).

Sol.

We have

Now

u/x = 2x,  2u/x2 = 2,   u/y = -2y,   2u/y2 = -2

2u/x+ 2u/y2 = 2 – 2 = 0

Here it satisfies Laplace equation so that u (x, y) is harmonic.

Now-

v = y/(x2 + y2),     v/x = - 2xy/(x2 + y2)2

2v/x2 =

On adding the above results-

We get-

So that v(x, y) is also a harmonic function.

 

Example: Find the harmonic conjugate function of the function U (x, y) = 2x (1 – y).

Sol.

We have,

U(x, y) = 2x (1 – y)

Let V is the harmonic conjugate of U.

So that by total differentiation,

Hence the harmonic conjugate of U is

 


If y/x ≠ v/y  and    y/y ≠ - v/x

Then function is harmonic conjugate.

 


If the sense of the relation as well as magnitude of the angle is preserved the transformation is said to be conformal.

Note-An analytic function f (z) is conformal everywhere except at its critical points where f (z) = 0.

 

Example-1: Find the conformal transformation of .

Answer. Let

 

Theorem: If W=f(z) represents a conformal transformation of a domain D in the z-plane into a domain D of the W plane then f(z) is an analytic function of z in D.

Proof: We have u+iv=u(x,y)+iv(x,y)

So that u=u(x, y) and v=v(x,y)

Let ds and denote elementary arc length in the z-plane and w-plane respectively Then

Now 

Hence 

Or

Where  

Now is independent of direction if

Where h depends on x and y only and is not zero. Thus the conditions for an Isogonal transformation

And                     

The equation are satisfied if we get

Then substituting these values in 2 we get

Taking   i.e.

Also   

Hence  

Similarly      i.e. 

The equation (4) are the well-known Cauchy -Reimann

Conformal mapping

 

Example: Show that the mapping is conformal in the whole of the z plane.

Sol.

Let z=x+iy

Then       

Consider the mapping of the straight line x=a in z plane the w plane which gives which is a circle in the w plane in the anticlockwise direction similarly the straight line y=b is mapped into which is a radius vector in the w plane.

The angle between the line x=a and y=b in the z plane is a right angle. The corresponding angle in the w plane between the circle e = constant and the radius vector is also a right angle which establishes that the mapping is conformal.

 

Example: Show that the curve u = constant and v = constant cut orthogonally at all intersections but the transformation w = u + iv is not conformal. Where-

Sol.

Let    …………. (1)

Differentiate (1), we get-

  ……………   (2)

Now-

  …………….. (3)

Differentiate (3), we get-

   ………. (4)

As we know that for the condition for orthogonallity, from (2) and (4)

So that these two curves cut orthogonally.

Here,

And

Here the C-R equation is not satisfied so that the function u + iv is not analytic. 

Hence the transformation is not conformal.

 

Key takeaways-

  1. If the sense of the relation as well as magnitude of the angle is preserved the transformation is said to be conformal.
  2. An analytic function f (z) is conformal everywhere except at its critical points where f (z) = 0

 


Bilinear transformation (Mobius transformation) is a correction of backwards difference method.

The bilinear transformation (also known as Tuatn’s method transformation) is defined as substitution:

 

Example 1:

Find the bi-linear transformation which aps points z=2,1,0ontpo the points w=1,0,i

Sol.

Let

Thus we have

=

 

Example 2:

How that the bilinear transformation w= transforms in the z-plane to 4u+3=0 in w-plane.

Sol.

Consider  the circle in z-plane

= 0

Thus, centre of the circle is (h,k)c(2,0) and radius r=2.

Thus in z-plane it is given as =2....(1)

Consider w=

W(z-4) = 2z+3

Wz-4w=2z+3

Wz-2z=4w+3

Z(w-2) = (4w+3)

z =

z-2 = - 2

A function which satisfies the Laplace equation is known as a harmonic function.

Consider the mapping of the straight line x=a in z plane the w plane which gives which is a circle in the w plane in the anticlockwise direction similarly the straight line y=b is mapped into which is a radius vector in the w plane.

The angle between the line x=a and y=b in the z plane is a right angle. The corresponding angle in the w plane between the circle e = constant and the radius vector is also a right angle which establishes that the mapping is conformal.

 

Example: Show that the curve u = constant and v = constant cut orthogonally at all intersections but the transformation w = u + iv is not conformal. Where-

So that these two curves cut orthogonally.

Here,

And

Here the C-R equation is not satisfied so that the function u + iv is not analytic. 

Hence the transformation is not conformal.

 

Key takeaways-

  1. If the sense of the relation as well as magnitude of the angle is preserved the transformation is said to be conformal.
  2. An analytic function f (z) is conformal everywhere except at its critical points where f (z) = 0

Example-1: If w = log z, then find . Also determine where w is non-analytic.

Sol. Here we have

Therefore-

and
 

Again-

Hence the C-R conditions are satisfied also the partial derivatives are continuous except at (0 , 0).

A function which satisfies the Laplace equation is known as a harmonic function.

Theorem- if f(z) = u + iv is an analytic function, then u and v are both harmonic functions.

Proof:

Suppose f(z) = u + iv, be an analytic function, then we have 

Differentiate (1) with respect to x, we get

Differentiate (2) with respect to y, we get

Add 3 and 4-

Similarly-
 

So that u and v are harmonic functions.

 

Example: Prove that and are harmonic functions of (x, y).

Sol.

We have

Now

u/x = 2x,  2u/x2 = 2,   u/y = -2y,   2u/y2 = -2

2u/x+ 2u/y2 = 2 – 2 = 0

Here it satisfies Laplace equation so that u (x, y) is harmonic.

Now-

v = y/(x2 + y2),     v/x = - 2xy/(x2 + y2)2

2v/x2 =

On adding the above results-

We get-

So that v(x, y) is also a harmonic function.

 

Example: Find the harmonic conjugate function of the function U (x, y) = 2x (1 – y).

Sol.

We have,

U(x, y) = 2x (1 – y)

Let V is the harmonic conjugate of U.

So that by total differentiation,

Hence the harmonic conjugate of U is

 


If y/x ≠ v/y  and    y/y ≠ - v/x

Then function is harmonic conjugate.

Complex Variable - Differentiation


In the narrow sense of the term, the theory of function of a complex variable is the theory of analytic functions (cf. Analytic function) of one or several complex variables. As an independent discipline, the theory of functions of a complex variable took shape in about the middle of the 19th century as the theory of analytic functions.

 

Complex function-

x + iy is a complex variable which is denoted by z

If for each value of the complex variable z = x + iy in a region R, we have one or more than one values of w = u + iv, then w is called a complex function of z.

And it is denoted as-

w = u(x , y) + iv(x , y) = f(z)

 

Neighbourhood of z0

Let a point z0 in the complex plane and z be any positive number, then the set of points z such that-

|z – z0|<ε

Is called ε- neighbourhood of z0

Example-1: Find-

Sol. Here we have-

Divide numerator and denominator by z3, we get-

 

Continuity- A function w = f(z) is said to be continuous at z = z0, if

Also if w = f(z) = u (x, y) + iv (x, y) is continuous at z = z0 then u (x, y), v (x, y) are also continuous at z = z0.

 

Differentiability-

Let f(z) be a single valued function of the variable z, then

f’(z) =

Provided that the limit exists and has the same value for all the different ways in which δz approaches to zero.

 

Example-2: if f(z) is a complex function given below, then discuss dz/dz at z = 0

Sol. If z0 along radius vector y = mx

=

=

But along v = x3,

In different paths we get different value of df/dz that means 0 and –i/2, in that case the function is not differentiable at z = 0.

A function which satisfies the Laplace equation is known as a harmonic function.

Theorem- if f(z) = u + iv is an analytic function, then u and v are both harmonic functions.

Proof:

Suppose f(z) = u + iv, be an analytic function, then we have 

Differentiate (1) with respect to x, we get

Differentiate (2) with respect to y, we get

Add 3 and 4-

Similarly-
 

So that u and v are harmonic functions.

 

Example: Prove that and are harmonic functions of (x, y).

Sol.

We have

Now

u/x = 2x,  2u/x2 = 2,   u/y = -2y,   2u/y2 = -2

2u/x+ 2u/y2 = 2 – 2 = 0

Here it satisfies Laplace equation so that u (x, y) is harmonic.

Now-

v = y/(x2 + y2),     v/x = - 2xy/(x2 + y2)2

2v/x2 =

On adding the above results-

We get-

So that v(x, y) is also a harmonic function.

 

Example: Find the harmonic conjugate function of the function U (x, y) = 2x (1 – y).

U(x, y) = 2x (1 – y)

Let V is the harmonic conjugate of U.

So that by total differentiation,

Hence the harmonic conjugate of U is

 


If y/x ≠ v/y  and    y/y ≠ - v/x

Then function is harmonic conjugate.

 


If the sense of the relation as well as magnitude of the angle is preserved the transformation is said to be conformal.

Theorem: If W=f(z) represents a conformal transformation of a domain D in the z-plane into a domain D of the W plane then f(z) is an analytic function of z in D.

Proof: We have u+iv=u(x,y)+iv(x,y)

So that u=u(x, y) and v=v(x,y)

Let ds and denote elementary arc length in the z-plane and w-plane respectively Then

Now

Or

Where  

Now is independent of direction if

Where h depends on x and y only and is not zero. Thus the conditions for an Isogonal transformation

And

Hence  

Similarly      i.e. 

The equation (4) are the well-known Cauchy -Reimann

Conformal mapping

 

Example: Show that the mapping is conformal in the whole of the z plane.

Sol.

Let z=x+iy

Then       

Consider the mapping of the straight line x=a in z plane the w plane which gives which is a circle in the w plane in the anticlockwise direction similarly the straight line y=b is mapped into which is a radius vector in the w plane.

The angle between the line x=a and y=b in the z plane is a right angle. The corresponding angle in the w plane between the circle e = constant and the radius vector is also a right angle which establishes that the mapping is conformal.

 

Example: Show that the curve u = constant and v = constant cut orthogonally at all intersections but the transformation w = u + iv is not conformal. Where-

Sol.

Let    …………. (1)

Differentiate (1), we get-

  ……………   (2)

Now-

  …………….. (3)

Differentiate (3), we get-

   ………. (4)

As we know that for the condition for orthogonallity, from (2) and (4)

So that these two curves cut orthogonally.

Here,

And

Here the C-R equation is not satisfied so that the function u + iv is not analytic. 

Hence the transformation is not conformal.

 

Key takeaways-

  1. If the sense of the relation as well as magnitude of the angle is preserved the transformation is said to be conformal.
  2. An analytic function f (z) is conformal everywhere except at its critical points where f (z) = 0

Thus, centre of the circle is (h,k)c(2,0) and radius r=2.

Thus in z-plane it is given as =2....(1)

Consider w=

W(z-4) = 2z+3

Wz-4w=2z+3

Wz-2z=4w+3

Z(w-2) = (4w+3)

z =

z-2 = - 2
