Complex functions

Unorderability of \(\mathbb{C}\)

\( \nexists \geq ( \geq \text{ is a partial order on }\mathbb{C} ) \)

Complex function

Function with a complex domain and codomain

\( f : \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} \)

Complex function decomposition

\(f(x+iy) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y)\)

\(u : \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}\) is the real function

Differentiation

Harmonic function

\(f \text{ is harmonic on }U \iff \forall u \in U [ \nabla^2 f(u) = 0 ] \)

Complex differentiable function

Function that is differentiable within the complex plane, that is, in contrast to \(\mathbb{R}\) where sequences converging from the left and right must have the same limit, \(\mathbb{C}\) requires any convergent sequence in the complex plane to have the same limit.

\( f \text{ is differentiable at }z \iff \exists f'(z) [ f'(z) = \lim_{s \to z} \frac{f(z) - f(s)}{z-s} ]\)

Complex linearity

\(h=h_1 + ih_2 \land h_1 , h_2 \text{ are Riemann integrable on}[b,a] \implies \int^{b}_{a} h(t)dt = \int^{b}_{a} h_1 (t)dt + i\int^{b}_{a} h_2 (t)dt\)

Class of integrals returning scalar quantities, related to weighting a curve in complex plane

Contour contorno

Differentiable curve in a complex space

\(\gamma \text{ is a simple contour parametrized by } z : [t_0,t_1] \to \mathbb{C} \iff \)

Contour integral Integrale di contorno 複素線積分

Line integral where each point of the curve is weighted by multiplication with the complex function's intensity at that point

\(\displaystyle \int_{\gamma} f(z)dz = \int_{t_0}^{t_1} f(z(t))z'(t)dt\)

Contour length

\( \displaystyle L(\gamma) = \int^{t_1}_{t_0} |z' (t) |dt\)

ML inequality

\( \displaystyle | \int_{\gamma} f(z)dz | \leq L(\gamma) \max_{z\in \gamma} |f(z)| \)

Fundamental theorem of contour integration

\( f \text{ is continuous on }\text{dom}(f) \land F'=f \implies \int_{\gamma} f(z)dz = F(z(t_1)) -F(z(t_0)) \)

Corollary

\( \displaystyle \oint_{\gamma} f = 0 \iff \exists F [ \forall z \in \text{dom}(F) (F'=f) ] \iff \int_{\gamma}f \text{ is soley dependent on endpoints}\)

Successive contour sequence

\(\displaystyle \int_{\gamma} f = \sum^{n}_{k=1} \int_{\gamma_k} f\)

\( \gamma = \sum^{n}_{k=1} \gamma_k \)

\( \gamma_k \text{ is a simple contour parametrized by } z_k : [t_{k-1} , t_{k}] \to \mathbb{C} \)

Cauchy's integral theorem

Cauchy's integral theorem

\(f \text{ is holomorphic on } U \land \gamma \subset \text{ is a closed simple contour}\implies\)

See topology

Cauchy's integral formula

\(\displaystyle f \text{ is holomorphic on } U \land \gamma \subset U \text{ is a closed simple contour } \implies f(z) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint_{ \gamma} \frac{f(\xi)}{\xi - z} d\xi\)

\(\displaystyle f \text{ is holomorphic on } U \land \gamma \subset U \text{ is a closed simple contour } \implies f^{(n)}(z) = \frac{n!}{2\pi i} \oint_{\gamma} \frac{f(\xi)}{(\xi - z)^{n+1}} d\xi\)

Corollary

\(\displaystyle f \text{ is holomorphic on }U \implies f \in C^{\infty}(U) \)

\( f \text{ is holomorphic on }U \implies f \text{ is analytic on }U \)

Note that because holomorphic and analytic properties are logically equivalent, they are used as synonyms

Cauchy's estimate

\(|f^{(n)}(z)| \leq \frac{n! \max_{\xi \in \gamma}|f(\xi)|}{r^n}\)

Liouville's theorem

\(f \text{ is entire and bounded }\implies \forall z ( f'(z)=0 ) \)

Fundamental theorem of algebra

Analytic continuation

Symmetry principle

Schwarz reflection principle

Morera's theorem

Residues

Isolated singularity

Removable singularity

Singularity that has a limit but is undefined; it can easily be removed by defining the function at that point with the limit

\(z_0\text{ is a removable singularity } \iff f(z_0) = \text{ is undefined } \land \lim_{z \to z_)} f(z) =L\)

Pole

Singularity with absolute divergence to \(\infty\)

\(z_0 \text{ is a pole of } f \iff \exists \lim_{z \to z_0}|f(z)|= \infty \land U \subseteq \Omega \)

Order

Poles have a property called order

\(z_0 \text{ is an }n\text{-order pole of }f \iff z_0 \text{ is a pole of }f \land \exists U\subseteq \Omega ( z_0 \in U \land \forall z \in U [ g(z)=(z-z_0)^n f(z) ] ) \)

Property

\(f \text{ is holomorphic on } \Omega \land z_0 \text{ is an isolated zero of }f \implies \)

Simple pole

\(z_0 \text{ is simple pole of } f \iff z_0 \text{ is a } 1\text{-order pole of } f \)

Meromorphic function

Function that is holomorphic at any non-pole on some set

\(f \text{ is meromorphic on }\Omega \iff \forall z \in \Omega ( \exists U [ f \text{ is holomorphic } \lor \frac{1}{f} \text{ is holomorphic}] ) \)

Laurent series

Infinite series representation of a complex function with the form of a power series, but negative integer exponents. the positive exponents are holomorphic and the negative exponents are meromorphic

\(f(z) = \sum^{\infty}_{n=-\infty} a_{n} (z-c)^n \)

\(f \text{ is meromorphic on }U \implies \exists (a_n)_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} [ \forall z \in U [ f(z) = \sum^{\infty}_{n=-\infty} a_{n} (z-c)^n ] ] \)

Residue

Quantity relating to closed integrals around a particular pole

\(\text{Res}(f,c)= a_{-1} \)

\( c \text{ is a pole of }f \text{ with order }n \)

Properties

\(\text{Res}(f,c)= \lim_{z \to c} \frac{1}{(n-1)!} \frac{d^{n-1}}{dz^{n-1}} [ (z-c)^n f(z) ] \)

Residue theorem

Theorem asserting that the integral of a closed contour integral equals the sum of the residues of all of its interior poles, multiplied by \(2\pi i\)

\(\displaystyle \oint_{\gamma} f(z)dz = 2\pi i \text{Res}(f,c)\)

\(\displaystyle \oint_{\gamma} f(z)dz = 2\pi i \sum^{k}_{i=1}\text{Res}(f,c_i)\)

Trigonometric integrals

By taking a path through the complex plane, some real trigonometric integrals can be more easily evaluated through the residue theorem

\(\displaystyle \int^{2\pi}_{0} f( \cos t , \sin t )dt\)

\(z(t)=e^{it}, t \in [0,2\pi] \)

\(dt=\frac{dz}{iz}\)
