Abstract – Bicomplex is the most recent mathematical tool to develop the theory of analysis. In complex analysis we can not give approximate region in which f Z attains their max. or min. value on the
boundary. But in advance with bicomplex variable we can give the approximate region on the boundary on which f attains max. or min. value. In this paper Maximum Modulus Principle and Minimum Modulus Principle are promoted for bicomplex holomorphic function which are highly applicable for analysis, and from this result we have seen that in complex analysis it is necessary that if f Z is a non constant analytic in D(0,1) and f Z
K C 0,1
, then f Z
has a zero in D(0,1). But in bicomplex it is not necessary.Index Term – bicomplex numbers, Maximum and Minimum Modulus Principle.
INTRODUCTION
In 1892, in search for special algebras, Corrado Segre [1] (1860-1924) published a paper in which he treated an infinite family of algebras whose elements are commutative generalization of complex numbers called bicompl- ex numbers, tricomplex numbers, etc. Maximum Modulus Principle and Minimum Modulus Principle are most useful results in complex analysis [2]. In this paper we are developing the concept of Maximum Modulus Princ- iple and Minimum Modulus Principle for bicomplex holomorphic functions for the purpose of analysis of bicomplex number. This paper is divided in to different sections. Section 1. gives the Certain Basics Theory of Bicomplex Numbers. In Section 2. we are giving the Certain Basics of Bicomplex Analysis. Section 3. has the Maximum and Minimum Modulus Principle for Complex variables. In section 4. we are giving Some Useful results on Bicomplex Function.
1 Certain Basics Theory of Bicomplex Numbers:
Segre defined a bicomplex number as x0 i1x1 i2x2 i1i2x3, where x0,x1,x2,x3are real numbers,
1 2 2 2
1 i
i and i1i2 i2i1. The set of bicomplex numbers is denoted as C2. In the theory of bicomplex
numbers, the sets of real numbers and complex numbers are denoted as C0 and C1 respectively. Thus

{ 0 1 1 2 2 12 3 0 1 2 3 0
2 x ix i x ii x x x x x C
C Or equivalently C2{ : z1i2z2 z1,z2C1}. 1.1 Idempotent Representation:
The idempotent representation of a bicomplex number plays a very important role in the development of the theory. Besides 0 and 1, there are precisely two non-trivial idempotent elements in
2
C, denoted by e1and 2
e and
defined as 1 2 1 2
1 2
1 1
,
2 2
i i i i
e e ;e1e2 1and e e1 2 e e2 10.Every element of C2 can be uniquely expressed as a complex combination of e1 and
2
e , viz.
z1i2z2
z1i1z2
e1
z1i1z2
e2. Thisrepresentation of a bicomplex number as a combination of complex multiples of e1and e2 is known as the Idempotent Representation of .Further, the complex coefficients
1 1 2
z i z and
z1i z1 2
are called theIdempotent Components of the bicomplex number

1.2 Singular Elements:
An element z1i z2 2 is singular if and only if 2 2
1 2 0
z z . The set of singular elements is denoted as O2 and is characterized as O2 { C2: is th e co llectio n o f a llco m p lex m u ltip les o f e a n d e1 2} 1.3 Norm:
The norm

non-negative real numbers). If z1 i2z2 C2 then -

C2 is Banach space which is not Banach algebra because, in general, 2 holds instead of the standard condition, viz. In this sense, C2, , , , . is treated as a modified Banach
algebra.
1.4 Auxiliary Complex Spaces:
The Auxiliary complex spaces

A cartesian set determined by X1 and X2 in A1and A2 respectively is denoted as X1e X2and is defined as:

X X z i z C z i z w e w e w X w X By the help of idempotent
representation we define some functions such as h1:C2 A1, h2:C2 A2, and H A: 1eA2C2 as
follows:

Where X1 {w1 A1: w1( i1) r1} and X2 {w2A2 : w2 (i1) r2}. 1.7 Closed Discus in C2:

2.1 Holomorphic Functions of a Bicomplex Variable:
In 1928 and 1932, Michiji Futagawa originated the concept of holomorphic functions of a bicomplex variable, in a series of papers [3], [4]. In 1934, Dragoni [5] gave some basic results in the theory of bicomplex holomorphic functions. A full account of the updated theory can be hald from Price [6] A function f of a bicomplex variable z1 i2z2 is said to be a holomorphicfunction in domain U if
f
satisfies the following properties: (a) f is defined on a domain U in C2.(b) f (z1 i2z2) C2, z1 i2z2 C2; (c) For each a1 i2a2 in U there exists a discus

respectively, then the function f:X1eX2C2 defined

Suppose that f is analytical in domain D and ‘
a

Theorem 1:- Let

e e
f f e f e is a bicomplex function. If
1 1
e
f and
2 2

f have maximum value, then f
will also take the maximum value.Proof :- Let fe1

….. (1)
From equation (1) we see thatf
take the maximum value M. Now we are considering that M is not the max. value of f
and it attain another maximum value that is Mh, such as- M ; 0 ; M 0

contradiction of our assumption h0.Thus we can conclude thatf attains the maximum value if both
1 1
e
f and
2 2
e
f have maximum value.
Theorem 2:- Let
1 1 1 2 2 2
e e
f f e f e is a bicomplex function. If
1 1
e
f and
2 2
e
f have minimum value, then f
will also take the minimum value.Proof :- Let fe1

From equation (3) f
take the minimum valuem

1 1

f is

f is

2 2 2 2 2

f and
2 2
e
f have minimum value.
Theorem 3: Let

f f ef ebicomplex function has max. value M.Then
1 1

f and

Proof: Let f M .By previous theorem f

Theorem 5: (MAXIMUM-MODULUS PRINCIPLE)
Suppose thatf

discus D( ; , r r1 2). Hence 1, 2are the interior point of complex discD11,r1&D22,r2respectively. We know from the theorem 3 that if f
has max. value then 1 1
e
f andfe2
2 both have the max. value. Nowif
1 1
e
f takes max. value inside point 1of D1

then 1 1
e
f will be constant. Similarly we can show that
2 2
e
f will be constant. Sof
is constant becausefe1
1 andfe2 2both are constant.
Corollary 1: If f
is a non constant holomorphic function, thenf
attains its max. value on the boundary of discus D( ; , r r1 2).Theorem 6: (MINIMUM-MODULUS PRINCIPLE)
Suppose that f
is a holomorphic function in a closed discus D and “a” point inside the discus D is such that f

f f e f e , such as- 1 1e 2 2e . Suppose is the interior point of bicomplex discus D( ; , ) r r1 2 . Hence 1, 2 are the interior point of complex discD11,r1&D22,r2respectively. We know
from the theorem 4 that if f has min. value then
1 1
e
f andfe2
2 both have the min. value. Nowif
1 1
e
f takes min. value inside point1of D11,r1 thenfe1 1
will be constant. Similarly we can show that
2 2
e
f will be constant. Sof
is constant because
1 1
e
f and
2 2
e
f both are constant.
Corollary 2: If f
is a non constant holomorphic function, thenf
attains its min. value on the boundary ofdiscus D( ; , r r1 2).
Corollary 3: If f
is a non constat holomorphic function in a closed discus D. Then f attains its max. value on the intersection of the boundary of boundary of the discus D a r r( ; ,1 2) and the boundary of the closed ball 2 2 1 21 2

Proof: By the definition of boundary of discus- D a

we can define three sets as1 2 3 ;

1 1 1 2 2 2
e e
f f e f e has maximum value if
1 1

f and
2 2
e
f have maximum value and these function have maximum value if 1and

construct S3which is the subset of ; 12 22 1 2

intersection of the boundary of boundary of the discus D a r r( ; ,1 2) and the boundary of the closed ball
1 2
2 2
1 2
, 2 r r B a
.
Corollary 4: If f is a non constat holomorphic function in a closed discus D. Then f attains its min. value on the intersection set of the boundary of boundary of the discus D a r r( ; ,1 2) and the boundary of the closed ball , 12 22 1 2

Proof: We can prove this corollary in similar way as corollary 3.
Example 1: f
is a non constant analytic in D(0;1,1). f

0,1 .Then discuss the case f
has zero inD(0;1,1).Proof: Since
1 1 1 2 2 2
e e
f f e f e is holomorphic iff
1 1
e
f ,
2 2
e
f both holomorphic in (0,1) ; 1, 2
i
D i (closed unit disc) and it is non constant then there are three possibilities. 1.
1 1
e
f is non constant and
2 2
e
f is constant.
2.
1 1
e
f is constant and
2 2
e
f is non constant.
3.
1 1
e
f is non constant and
2 2
e
f is non constant.
If
i
e i
f does not have a zero. Then
1
i
e i
f
is holomorphic in Di(0,1). So its maximum occurs on the
boundary. Since both the maximum and the minimum of
1, 2
i
e i
f i are the same because
C 0,1
i
e i i
f K , (Ci0 ,1 is a unit circle) which means fei
i is constant.Now we shall discuss the three cases: 1.
1 1
e
f has one zero,
2 2
e
f has no zero in D2(0,1). So there is no zero of f
in D(0;1,1).2.
1 1
e
f has no zero in D1(0,1), fe2 2 has one zero. So there is no zero of f
in D(0;1,1).3.
1 1
e
f has zero at 1 in D1(0,1), and fe2 2
has zero at 2in D2(0,1). Thenf has zero at 1e12e2
in D(0;1,1).
Thus we conclude that f
has a zero inside the discus D(0;1,1) if 1, 2i
