FUNCTION OF A COMPLEX VARIABLE:
A complex variable w is said to be a function of complex z,
if to every value of z in certain domain D, there correspond
one or more definite values of w.
Thus if w is function of z it is written as w = f(z).
If w = u + iv and z = x + iy, then u and v both are function of
x, y ; so we write them as u(x, y) and v(x, y).
So we can write w= u(x,y) +iv(x, y).

Note: (1) If w takes the only one value for each value of z in
the region D, then w is said to be a uniform or single valued
function of z.
2 If there corres ond two or more value of w for some or
all values of z in the given region D, then w is called a many
valued or multi-valued function of z.

CONTINUITY OF A FUNCTION:
Let f(z) be a single valued function of z defined in some
neighborhood of the point z0 including the point z0. Then
f(z) is said to be continuous at the point z0, if for a given
real number

DIFFERENTIABILITY:
Let f(z) be a single valued function defined in a domain D.
The function f(z) is said to be differentiable at a point z0, if
Exists. This limit is called the derivative of f z at z = z and
is denoted by f (z0). Therefore, we have
f/(z0) =
Note: (a) A function which is not continuous at point z =
z0can not be differentiable at z = z0.

(b) A function which is continuous at a point z = z0 , may
or may not be differentiable at z= z0 .
(c) The rules of differentiation of a function of a real
variable x holds also for a function of a complex variable
.
(d) If the function g(z) is differentiable at z and the
function f(z) is differentiable at g(x), then the compositefunction w = f(g(x)) is differentiable at z.

some open disk about z0. A function f(z) is said to be
analytic in a domain D, if it is analytic at every point in D.

versa.

CAUCHY RIEMANN EQUATIONS:
Necessary conditions for a function to beanalytic: Suppose that the function f(z) = u(x, y)
+ i v(x, y) is continuous in some neighborhood of
.
Then, the first order partial derivatives of u(x, y)
and v(x, y) exist and satisfy the equations
ux = vyand uy= -vx (1)
At the point z.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
13/75
Equation (1) is called Cauchy- Riemann Equation.
Sufficient conditions for a function to be analytic:
Suppose that the real and imaginary parts u(x, y) and
v(x, y) of the function f(z) = u(x, y) +iv(x, y) are
derivatives in a domain D. If u and v satisfy the Cauchy _
Riemann equations at all points in D, then the function
f(z) is analytic in D and
f/ (z) = ux + ivx= vy iuy (2)
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d

The equation (2) represents the derivative of analyticfunction.

Satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations at z = 0 but f/(0)
does not exist.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
15/75
Solution: f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y), then we get,
and , (x, y)(0,0)
Since f(0) = 0, we have u(0, 0) = v(0, 0) = 0.
Now z

Therefore , at z = 0, ux = vyand uy = - vx. Thus, the Cauchy
Riemann equations are satisfied at z = 0.
Now we have,

Choosing the path y = mx, we get

ZEROS, SINGULARITIES AND RESIDUES:
Zeros of a complex function: Let f(z) be a complex function.A point z = z0 is called a zero of f(z) if f(z) is analytic at z0
and f(z0) = 0.
Note:
(a)If f(z0) = 0,
then z = z0 is called a zero of order m. If m = 1, then f(z) is
said to have a simple zero at z =z0 . Thus, the order of the
first non-vanishing derivative of an analytic function at z =
z0 is the order of the zero.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
49/75
For example:
(i) Let f(z) = sinz, then f(z0)= sinz0.
Now f(0) = sin0 = 0= sin(n
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
50/75
Singular points of a complex function: A point z = z0, at
which the function f(z) is not defined or the function isnot analytic, is called a singular point of f(z). A rational
function P(z)/Q(z) has a singular point at z = z0,
whenever Q(z0) = 0 and P(z0) 0.For Example
Let the function, f(z) =
(i)Has zeros at z = -1 and z = 2.
(ii)Has singular points at z = -2 and z = 3.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
51/75
Isolated Singularity: The point z = z0 is called an isolated
singularity or isolated singular point of f(z) if we can find
>0 such that the circle enclosed no singular
point other than z0. If no such can be found, the we call z =
z0, a non-isolated singularity.
For example :1: Let the function, is
analytic anywhere except at z =1, and z = 2.Thus, z = 1 and z
=2 are the only singularities of this function, there are nosingularities of f(z) in the neighborhood of z = 1 and z = 2.
Therefore, z =1 and z =2, are the isolated singularities of this
function.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
52/75
Example2: Let the function
The function is not analytic where = 0. i.e. at the
points = n
are thesingularities of the function all of which lie on real axis. All
the singularities are isolated except z = 0 because in the
neighborhood of z = 0 there are infinite number of othersingularities z = 1/n when n is large. Therefore z = 0 is the
non isolated singularity of the function.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
53/75
Removable Singularity: If the function f(z) is not defined at
z = z0 , but exists, then the point z = z0 is called aremovable singular point.
LAURENT SERIES:
The sum is called the analytic part of the
Laurent series.
The sum is called the principal part of the
Laurent series.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
54/75
Example: Let f(z) = sinz/z has a removable singularity at z
=0, since exists.
POLE:
If the principal part of the Laurent series expansion of the
, ,
the form
Where m is a finite integer and are
all zero, then z = z0 is called a pole of order m.
If m = 1, then z = z0 is called a simple pole.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d
55/75
Example: Let the function, has
a pole order 5 at z = 2 and a pole order 4 at z = -2.
Essential Singular point: If the principal part of the Laurent
series expansion of the function f(z) has infinite number of
terms, then the point z = z0 is called as essential singularpoint.
Example: z = 0 is an essential singular point of the function
e1/2 , since the principal part of the Laurent series
expansion about z = 0, has infinite number of terms.
8/3/2019 Complex Variable %5bCompatibility Mode%5d

IMPORTANT NOTES:
(1)If , then z = a if pole of f(z).(2) If does not exist, then z = a is an essential
singularity.
(3)Limit point of zeros is an isolated essential singularity.
(4)Limit point of the poles is a non isolated essential
singularity.
