FUNCTIONS
Functions:
If to each value which a complex variable z can assume their corresponds one or more values of a complex variable w,
we say that w is a function of z and write w = f(z) or w=G(z) etc.
Variable:
Single valued functions
Single valued functions:
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.
Example: If w=z2 , then to each value of z there is only one
value of w.
Multiple valued functions
If more than one value of w corresponds to each value of z, we say that w is a multiple valued function. A multiple valued function can be consider as a collection of single valued function.
Example: If w=z1/2 , then to each value of z there is two
values of w.
If w = f(z),then we can also consider z as a function of w , written z = g(w)=f-1(w) .
The function f-1 is often called the inverse function
corresponding to f.
Thus w=f(z) and w =f-1(z) are inverse functions of each
other.
If w = u + iv is a single valued function of z = x + iy, we can write u + iv = f(x + iy).
By equating real and imaginary parts this is seen to be equivalent to,
u = u (x,y) , v =v (x,y)………(1)
Thus given a point (x,y) in the z plane such as p in fig-1,
there corresponds a point (u,v) is the w plane, say p/ in fig-2.
The set of equation (1) 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.

Example (MRS/41/1):
Let w = f(z) = z2. Find the values of w which correspond to
Algebraic Functions
If w is a solution of the polynomial equation P0(z) wn + P
1(z)wn-1 + … … + Pn-1(z)w + pn(z) = 0
Where, P0 0, P1(z), … … P(z) are polynomials in z and n is a positive integer,
Then w = f(z) is called algebraic function of z
Example: Let us consider a polynomial equation is
w2 – z = 0 … (1)
w2= z
w= z1/2
So w= z1/2 is a solution of equation (1).
Let the polynomial equation
P0(z) wn + P
1(z)wn-1 + … … + Pn-1(z)w + pn(z) = 0 … (1)
Where, P0 0, P1(z), … … P(z) are polynomials in z
and n is a positive integer.
Any function which cannot be expressed as a solution of (1) is called a transcendental function.
The logarithmic, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions and their corresponding inverses are examples of transcendental functions.
Branch Points and Branch Lines
Let us consider a function
w = z1/2 … (1)
Suppose we allow z to make a complete circuit (counter clockwise) around the origin starting from point A (Fig-1).
A
O B
z plane
=1
Branch line or
Branch cut
We have z = r ei ,
w = r ei/2 [ by equation (1)]
w = r ei1/2 , at A, = 1
After a complete circuit back to A, then = 1 + 2 and
w = r ei(1+2)/2 = -r ei1/2 [ since, cos(1+2)/2 + isin (1+2)/2
= cos(1/2+) + isin (1/2+) = -cos(1/2) - isin (1/2)
= -[cos(1/2) + isin (1/2)= - ei1/2 ]
However, by making a second complete circuit back to A, i.e. = 1+4
w = r ei(1+4)/2 = r ei1/2
[ since, cos(1+4)/2 + isin (1+4)/2 = cos(1/2+2) + isin (1/2+2)
= cos(1/2) + isin (1/2) = ei1/2
Now we have achieved the same value of ‘w’ with which we started.
We can describe the above by stating that if 0 < 2 we are on one branch of the multiple-valued function z1/2,
It is clear that each branch of the function is single-valued.
In order to keep the function single-valued, we set up an artificial barrier such as OB where B is at infinity (although any other line from O can be used) which we agree not to cross.
This barrier (drawn heavy in the figure) is called a branch line or
branch cut , and point O is called branch point.
It should be noted that a circuit around any point other than z=0
Example (MRS/43/6):
Let w5=z and suppose that corresponding to the particular
value z=z1 we have w=w1.
(a)If we start at the point z1 (see fig. 1) and make one complete circuit counter click wise around the origin, show that the value of w on returning to z1 is w1e2i/5.
(b)What are the values of w on returning to z1 , after 2, 3,
… complete circuits around the origin?
Home Work:
Let f(z) be defined and single valued in a neighbourhood of z = z with the possible exception of z = z itself. We₀ ₀
say that the number l is the limit of f(z) as z approaches z₀
and write
If for any positive number ε we can find some positive number δ such that |f(z)-l |< ε Whenever 0 <| z - z |<δ.₀
0
lim ( )
zz f z l
RIGHT HAND LIMIT:
If the values of f(z) can be made as close as possible to L by
taking values of z sufficiently close to ‘a’ (but greater than a), then we can write Lim f(z) = L
z→a+
Which is read “the limit of f(z) as z approaches a from the right is L.”
LEFT HAND LIMIT:
If the values of f(z) can be made as close as possible to L by taking Values of z sufficiently close to a (but less than a), then we can write Lim f(z) = L
z→a
Infinity:
By means of the transformation w = 1/z the point z = 0 is mapped into w =, called the point at infinity in the w plane. Similarly we denote by z = the point at infinity in the z plane.
To consider the behavior of f(z) at z = , it suffices to let z = 1/w and examine the behavior of f(1/w) at w = 0.
We say that, or f(z) approaches l as z approaches infinity, if for any ε > 0 we can find M > 0 such that |f(z)-l|< ε whenever |z|> M.
We say that, = or f(z) approaches infinity as z
approaches z , if for any N > 0 we can find δ > 0 such that |f(z)| > N ₀
whenever 0 < |z - z |< δ₀
l z f
Proof:
we must show that given any ε > 0 we can find δ (depending in general on ε) such that |z2 – z2
0| < ε whenever 0< |z – z0| < δ.
If δ 1,then 0< |z – z0| < δ implies that |z2 – z2
0| = |z – z0| |z + z0|
< δ |z – z0 + 2z0| [since 0< |z – z0| < δ ] < δ {|z – z0|+ |2z0|}
< δ (1+ |2z0|)
Take δ as 1 or ε / (1+2|z0|) ,whichever is smaller. Then we have |z2 – z2
0| < ε whenever |z – z0| < δ,
and the required result is proved.
Problem: MRS / 50/23(a)
If f(z) = z2 , prove that lim f(z) = z2 0
Problem: MRS / 50/24(a)
Geometrical interpretation of 23(a)
The equation w = f(z) = z2 defines a transformation or mapping of points of the z
plane into points of the w plane.
In particular let us suppose that point z0 is mapped into w0 = z2 0 .
z plane .z x y Z0 .w w plane v u W0
In problem 23(a) we have that given any ε > 0 we can fine δ > 0 such that |w – w0| < ε whenever |z – z0| < δ.
Geometrically this means that if we wish w to be inside a circle of radius ε we
must choose δ (depending on ε) so that z lies inside a circle of radius δ. According to problem 23(a) this is certainly accomplished
