Math 417 - Sections 23 Solutions

This document provides solutions to problems in Math 417 regarding complex functions and analytic functions. It analyzes the functions: 1) f(z) = (z^2 - 2)e^-x e^-iy and finds it is entire as the Cauchy-Riemann equations are satisfied everywhere. 2) f(z) = xy + iy and finds it is analytic nowhere except possibly at z = i, where it is not differentiable. 3) f(z) = (z^3 + i) / (z^2 - 3z + 2) and finds the singular points where the denominator is 0 are z = 1 and z = 2.

Math 417 – Sections 23 Solutions

1. (d) Letting z = x + iy in the function f (z) = (z 2 − 2)e−x e−iy we have:

f (z) = (x2 − y 2 ) + i(2xy) e−x (cos y − i sin y)


 

= e−x [(x2 − y 2 ) cos y + 2xy sin y + i(2xy cos y − (x2 − y 2 ) sin y)]

Then we have:

u(x, y) = e−x [(x2 − y 2 ) cos y + 2xy sin y]


v(x, y) = e−x [2xy cos y − (x2 − y 2 ) sin y]

The first partials are:

ux = −e−x [(x2 − y 2 ) cos y + 2xy sin y] + e−x [2x cos y + 2y sin y]


vy = e−x [2x cos y − 2xy sin y + 2y sin y − (x2 − y 2 ) cos y]
= −e−x [(x2 − y 2 ) cos y + 2xy sin y] + e−x [2x cos y + 2y sin y]
uy = e−x [−2y cos y − (x2 − y 2 ) cos y + 2x sin y + 2xy cos y]
= e−x [2xy cos y − (x2 − y 2 ) cos y] − e−x [2y cos y − 2x sin y]
vx = −e−x [2xy cos y − (x2 − y 2 ) sin y] + e−x [2y cos y − 2x sin y]

It can be seen that the Cauchy-Riemann equations (ux = vy , uy = −vx ) are satisfied. Fur-
thermore, the first partials exist everywhere and are continuous everywhere. Therefore, f (z) is
entire.
2. (a) From f (z) = xy + iy, we have:

u(x, y) = xy
v(x, y) = y

The first partials are:

ux = y, vy = 1
uy = x, vx = 0

The Cauchy-Riemann equations are satisfied only when y = 1 and x = 0. Therefore, f ′ (z) exists
only at the point z = 0 + i1 = i. Since f (z) is not analytic in any neighborhood of z = i, it is
analytic nowhere.
z3 + i
4. (b) The singular points of f (z) = occur when the denominator is 0:
z 2 − 3z + 2

z 2 − 3z + 2 = 0
⇒ z = 2, z = 1

f ′ (z) exists everywhere except at the above points since f (z) is a rational function.
