[el s2 DEFINITION Att Complex Functions GG The shortest path between two truths in the real domain passes through the complex. domain 33 Lee) reece a Most of this book is concerned with developing the properties of real functions, that is, functions of one or more real variables, having values that are themselves real numbers or vectors with real components. The definition of function given in Section P4 can be paraphrased to allow for complex-valued functions of a complex variable. A complex function / is a rule that assigns a unique complex number f(2) to each number z in some set of complex numbers (called the domain of the function), ‘Typically, we will use z = x-+ yi to denote a general point in the domain of a complex function and w = u + vi to denote the value of the function at z; if w = (2), then the real and imaginary parts of w (u = Re (w) and v = Im(w)) are eal-vaiued functions fz, and hence real-valued functions of the two real variables x and y: usury) v(x, 9) For example, the complex function f(z) plane C, assigns the value z? to the complex number z. If and z =x + yi),then ‘whose domain is the whole complex 2 (where w =u + vi wud = (xt yi? =x? —y? 4 Devi, so that w= Re(z? andy =Im(z") = 2sy, Itis not convenient to draw the graph of a complex function. The graph of w = ‘would have to be drawn in a four-dimensional (real) space, since two dimen: (a zoplane) are required for the independent variable, and (wo more dimensions (a w-plane) are required for the dependent variable. Instead, we can graphically represent the behaviour of a complex function w by drawing the z-plane and the w-plane separately, and showing the image in the w-plane of certain, appropriately chosen sets of points in the z-plane. For example, Figure IL.1 illustrates the fact that for the function w = 2? the image of the quarter-disk |z| < a, 0 < arg(z) < $ is the half-disk |u| < a?, 0 < arg(w) < x. To see why this is so, observe that if z= r(cosé +i sind), then w = r*(cos 26 + i sin26). Thus the function maps the circle [z| = r onto the circle |w| = r? and the radial line arg (z) = @ onto the radial Tine arg (w) = 28 A-I2 APPENDIX Cones Functions Figure The function w = 2? maps a quarter disk of radius «ta halfdisk of radius a by squaring the modulus and doubling the argument of each point = DEFINITION DEFINITION arg(w) = 28 | eptne wplane Limits and Continuity The concepts of limit and continuity carry over from real functions to complex functions in an obvious way providing we use [zi ~ z2| as the distance between the complex numbers z) and z>.

PROOF (We will only give an informal sketch of the proof.) We can assume that the coefficient of 2" in P(z) is dy = 1, since we can divide the equation P(z) = 0 by dp without changing its solutions. We can also assume that ap # 0: if ay =O, then 2 = 0 is certainly a zero of P(z).

Since the distance from z" to P(2) is equal to |P(2) ~ 2"| = |Q(2)| < R", it follows that the image of the circle [z| = R under the transformation w = P(2) is curve that winds around the origin times, (if you walk around a circle of radius rn times, with your dog on a leash of length less than r, and your dog returns o his starting point, then he must also go around the centre of the circle times.)

The image of |z| = 2 is the large curve in the w-plane that winds around the origin three times. As R decreases, the curve traced out by w = P(2) for [zl = R changes continuously. For R close to 0, it is a small curve staying close tothe constant term ap of P(z). For small enough R the curve will not enclose the origin. (dn Figure 113 the image of |z| = 0.3 is the small curve staying close to the point 1 in the w-plane.) Thus for some value of R, say R = R}, the curve must pass through the origin. That is, there must be a complex number z), with |z)| = Rj, such that PG) =0. PHP aie+ Hforll= Remark The above proof suggests that there should be n such solutions of the equation P(2) = 0; the curve has to go from winding around the origin n times to winding around the origin 0 times as R decreases toward 0.
