Quiz 3 Complex Analysis: Topic

This document is a quiz for a complex analysis class assessing understanding of linear complex mappings. It contains instructions for the quiz, which allows 30 minutes and can be completed using notes. Students must show all work and sign a pledge confirming they followed the rules. The quiz contains one multi-part question asking students to (a) find the fixed point of a linear mapping f(z)=az+b, (b) give an example with no fixed points, (c) give an example with multiple fixed points, and (d) find the inverse mapping g(w)=cw+d that undoes f(z).

Quiz THREE

Adapted from Zill & Shanahan, pg. 70, #33.


1. (10 points) A fixed point of a mapping w = f (z) is a point z0 where f (z0 ) = z0 .
(a) (2 points) Does the linear mapping f (z) = az + b have a fixed point z0? If so, find z0 in terms
of the values of a and b. (NOTE: a and b can be any number in the complex plane).

(b) (2 points) Give an example of a complex linear mapping (i.e. choose values for a and b) so
that f (z) has no fixed points.

(c) (2 points) Give an example of a complex linear mapping (i.e. choose values for a and b) so that
f (z) has more than one fixed point. [HINT: There is only one such mapping possible!]

(d) (4 points) The inverse mapping g(w) = cw + d is the complex linear mapping such that
g(f (z)) = z and f (g(w)) = w. In other words z = g(w) undoes whatever the mapping
w = f (z) does. Find the values of c and d (in terms of the parameters a and b) so that
g(w) = cw + d is the inverse mapping of f (z). Confirm that your choice for z = g(w) is indeed
the inverse of w = f (z).
