17.1 Complex Numbers
DEFINITION 17.1
Complex Number
A complex number is any number of the z = a + ib
where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary
units.
z = x + iy, the real number x is called the real part and
y is called the imaginary part:
Re(z) = x, Im(z) = y
Ch17_2
DEFINITION 17.2
Complex Number
Complex number z1 x1 iy 1 and z 2 x 2 iy 2 are
equal, z1 z 2, if Re( z1 ) Re( z 2 ) and Im( z1 ) Im( z 2 )
x + iy = 0 iff x = 0 and y = 0.

As in Fig 17.2, the sum of the vectors z1 and z2 is the
vector z1 + z2. Then we have

and extends to any finite sum:

Polar Form
Referring to Fig 17.3, we have
z = r(cos + i sin )

where r = |z| is the modulus of z and is the
argument of z, = arg(z). If is in the interval − <
, it is called the principal argument, denoted by
Arg(z).

If z satisfies |z – z0| = , this point lies on a circle of
radius centered at the point z0.
Ch17_22
Example 1
(a) |z| = 1 is the equation of a unit circle centered at the
origin.
(b) |z – 1 – 2i|= 5 is the equation of a circle of radius 5
centered at 1 + 2i.
Ch17_23
If z satisfies |z – z0| < , this point lies within (not on)
a circle of radius centered at the point z0. The set is
called a neighborhood of z0, or an open disk.
A point z0 is an interior point of a set S if there exists
some neighborhood of z0 that lies entirely within S.
If every point of S is an interior point then S is an
open set. See Fig 17.7.

The graph of |z – (1.1 + 2i)| < 0.05 is shown in Fig

The graph of Re(z) 1 is shown in Fig 17.9. It is not
an open set.
Ch17_27
Example 2
Fig 17.10 illustrates some additional open sets.
Ch17_28
Example 2 (2)
Ch17_29
If every neighborhood of z0 contains at least one point
that is in a set S and at least one point that is not in S,
z0 is said to be a boundary point of S. The boundary
of S is the set of all boundary points.
If any pair of points z1 and z2 in an open set S can be
connected by a polygonal line that lies entirely in S is
said to be connected. See Fig 17.11. An open
connected set is called a domain.
Ch17_30
Fig17.11
Ch17_31
A region is a domain in the complex plane with all,
some or none of its boundary points. Since an open
connected set does not contain any boundary points, it
is a region. A region containing all its boundary
points is said to be closed.

possess a limit at z0, written

provided this limit exists.
If the limit in (3) exists, f is said to be differentiable at
z0. Also,
if f is differentiable at z0, then f is continuous at z0.

Example 4 (2)
Now if we let z0 along a line parallel to the x-axis
then y=0 and the value of (10) is 1. On the other hand,
if we let z0 along a line parallel to the y-axis then
x=0 and the value of (10) is 4. Therefore f(z) is not
differentiable at any point z.
Ch17_45
DEFINITION 17.7
Analyticity at a Point
A complex function w = f(z) is said to be analytic at
a point z0 if f is differentiable at z0 and at every point
in some neighborhood of z0.
A function is analytic at every point z is said to be an
entire function. Polynomial functions are entire
functions.

17.5 Cauchy-Riemann Equations
THEOREM 17.2
Cauchy-Riemann Equations
Suppose f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) is differentiable at a
point z = x + iy. Then at z the first-order partial
derivatives of u and v exists and satisfy the
Cauchy-Riemann equations
u

and
u

Ch17_47
THEOREM 17.2 Proof
Proof
Since f ’(z) exists, we know that
f ( z ) lim
f ( z z) f ( z)

By writing f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y), and z = x + iy,

Ch17_48
THEOREM 17.2 Proof (2)
Since the limit exists, z can approach zero from any
direction. In particular, if z0 horizontally, then z =
x and (3) becomes
f ( z ) lim
u ( x x, y ) u ( x, y )
x
x 0
i lim
(4)
v( x x, y ) v( x, y )

By the definition, the limits in (4) are the first partial
derivatives of u and v w.r.t. x. Thus

(5)
Ch17_49
THEOREM 17.2 Proof (3)
Now if z0 vertically, then z = iy and (3) becomes

lim
iv ( x , y y ) iv ( x , y )

(7)
Then we complete the proof.
Ch17_50
Example 1
The polynomial f(z) = z2 + z is analytic for all z and
f(z) = x2 − y2 + x + i(2xy + y). Thus u = x2 − y2 + x, v
= 2xy + y. We can see that

We see that u/y = −v/x but u/x = v/y is
satisfied only on the line y = 2x. However, for any z on
this line, there is no neighborhood or open disk about z
in which f is differentiable. We conclude that f is
nowhere analytic.
Ch17_52
THEOREM 17.3
Criterion for Analyticity
Suppose the real-valued function u(x, y) and v(x, y) are
continuous and have continuous first-order partial
derivatives in a domain D. If u and v satisfy the
Cauchy-Riemann equations at all points of D, then the
complex function f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) is analytic in D.

That is, the Cauchy-Riemann equations are satisfied

conclude that f is analytic in any domain not containing
the point z = 0.

This is a formula to compute f ’(z) if f(z) is

DEFINITION 17.8
Harmonic Functions
A real-valued function (x, y) that has continuous
second-order partial derivatives in a domain D and
satisfies Laplace’s equation is said to be harmonic in D.
THEOREM 17.4
A Source of Harmonic Functions
Suppose f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) is analytic in a domain D.
Then the functions u(x, y) and v(x, y) are harmonic
functions.

Conjugate Harmonic Functions
If u and v are harmonic in D, and u(x,y)+iv(x,y) is an
analytic function in D, then u and v are called the
conjugate harmonic function of each other.

Analyticity
The function Ln z is not analytic at z = 0, since Ln 0
is not defined. Moreover, Ln z is discontinuous at all
points of the negative real axis. Since Ln z is the
principal branch of ln z, the nonpositive real axis is
referred to as a branch cut. See Fig 17.19.

sin z
Ch17_81
Analyticity
Since eiz and e-iz are entire functions, then sin z and
cos z are entire functions. Besides, sin z = 0 only for
the real numbers z = n and cos z = 0 only for the real
numbers z = (2n+1)/2. Thus tan z and sec z are
analytic except z = (2n+1)/2, and cot z and
csc z are analytic except z = n.

Zeros
sinh z i sin iz i sin( y ix )
i[sin( y ) cosh x i cos( y ) sinh x ]
Since sin(−y) = − sin y, cos(−y) = cos y, then
sinh z sinh x cos y i cosh x sin y
(15)
cosh z cosh x cos y i sinh x sin y
(16)
It also follows from (14) that the zeros of sinh z and
cosh z are respectively,
z = ni and z = (2n+1)i/2, n = 0, 1, 2, ….
Ch17_91
Periodicity
From (6),
sin( z 2 i )
sin( x iy 2 )
sin( x 2 ) cosh y i cos( x 2 ) sinh y
sin x cosh y i cos x sinh y sin z
The period is then 2.
