Trigonometric functions
by using Euler’s formula
ejx = cos x + j sin x, for any real number x
we can write
ejx − e−jx ejx + e−jx
sin x = , cos x =
2j 2
hence, it is natural to define trigonometric functions of a complex number z as
ejz − e−jz ejz + e−jz sin z
sin z = , cos z = , tan z =
2j 2 cos z
1 1 1
csc z = , sec z = , cot z =
sin z cos z tan z
Elementary Functions 10-9
Properties
• sin z and cos z are entire functions (since ejz and e−jz are entire)
d d
• sin z = cos z and cos z = − sin z (use d jz
dz e = jejz )
dz dz
• sin(−z) = − sin z and cos(−z) = cos z (sine is odd and cosine is even)
• sin(z + 2π) = sin z and sin(z + π) = − sin z
• cos(z + 2π) = cos z and cos(z + π) = − cos z
• sin(z + π/2) = cos z and sin(z − π/2) = − cos z
• sin(z + w) = sin z cos w + cos z sin w
• cos(z + w) = cos z cos w − sin z sin w

Hyperbolic functions
the hyperbolic sine, cosine, and tangent of a complex number are defined as
ez − e−z ez + e−z sinh z
sinh z = , cosh z = , tanh z =
2 2 cosh z
(as they are with a real variable)
Properties
• sinh z and cosh z are entire (since ez and e−z are entire)
• tanh z is analytic in every domain in which cosh z = 0
• d
dz sinh z = cosh z and d
dz cosh z = sinh z
• d
dz tanh z = sech2z

Branches for multiple-valued functions
we often need to investigate the differentiability of a function f
f (z + Δz) − f (z)
f (z) = lim
Δz→0 Δz
what happen if f is multiple-valued (like arg z , z c) ?
• have to make sure if the two funtion values tend to the same value in the limit
• have to choose one of the function values in a consistent way
restricting the values of a multiple-valued functions to make it single-valued in
some region is called choosing a branch of the function
a branch of f is any single-valued function F that is analytic in some domain

Branches for logarithmic functions
we define the principal branch Log of the lograrithmic function as
Log z = Log |z| + j Arg(z), −π < Arg(z) < π
where Arg(z) is the principle value of arg(z)
• Log z is single-valued
• Log z is not continuous along the negative real axis (because of Arg z)
z = −x + j =⇒ Arg z → π as → 0
z = −x − j =⇒ Arg z → −π as → 0

a branch cut is portion of curve that is introduced to define a branch F
• points on the branch cut for f are singular points
• the negative real axis is a branch cut for the Log function
• Log z is single-valued and continuous in D = C\(−∞, 0]
let z0 be any point in D and w0 = Log z0 (or z0 = ew0 )
d w − w0 1 1
Log z0 = lim = lim = lim

other branches of log z
log(z) = Log |z| + j arg(z), 0 < arg(z) < 2π
log(z) = Log |z| + j argτ (z), τ < argτ (z) < τ + 2π
a branch log(z) is analytic everywhere on Dτ
any point that is common to all branch cuts of f is called a branch point
the origin is a branch point of the log function
