Section 20 Solutions

(20.8a) Show that f (z) = Re z is not differentiable for any z by showing the limit in the
definition of the derivative doesn’t exist.
Re (z + ∆z) − Re z
f 0 (z) = lim
∆z→0 ∆z
x + ∆x − x
= lim
(∆x,∆y)→(0,0) ∆x + i∆y
∆x
= lim
(∆x,∆y)→(0,0) ∆x + i∆y

If we let ∆z go to 0 along the line (∆x, 0), the limit is 1. Along the line (0, ∆y), the limit is
0. Since the answers are different, the limit does not exist and f is not differentiable.
(23.1b) Using the Cauchy-Riemann equations, show that f (z) = z − z̄ is not differentiable
for any z.
f (z) = z − z̄ = x + iy − (x − iy) = 2iy, so u(x, y) = 0 and v(x, y) = 2y.

ux = 0
uy = 0
vx = 0
vy = 2

vx = −uy = 0 but ux 6= vy ever. f 0 (z) does not exist.


(23.1d) Using the Cauchy-Riemann equations, show that f (x + iy) = ex e−iy is not differen-
tiable for any z.
f (z) = ex e−iy = ex cos(−y) + iex sin(−y) = ex cos y − iex sin y, so u(x, y) = ex cos y and
v(x, y) = −ex sin y.

ux = ex cos y
uy = −ex sin y
vx = −ex sin y
vy = −ex cos y

vx 6= −uy unless sin y = 0 and ux 6= vy unless cos y = 0. Since sin y and cos y cannot both
be 0 at the same time, f 0 (z) does not ever exist.

(23.3a) Suppose f (z) = z1 . Using the Cauchy-Riemann equations, determine where f 0 (z)
exists and give its value for the z when it does exist.
y y
f (z) = z1 = x2 +y
x x
2 − i x2 +y 2 , so u(x, y) = x2 +y 2 and v(x, y) = − x2 +y 2 .

(1)(x2 + y 2 ) − (x)(2x) y 2 − x2
ux = =
(x2 + y 2 )2 (x2 + y 2 )2
(0)(x2 + y 2 ) − (x)(2y) −2xy
uy = 2 2 2
= 2
(x + y ) (x + y 2 )2

1
(0)(x2 + y 2 ) − (−y)(2x) 2xy
vx = 2 2 2
= 2
(x + y ) (x + y 2 )2
(−1)(x2 + y 2 ) − (−y)(2y) y 2 − x2
vy = =
(x2 + y 2 )2 (x2 + y 2 )2

The CR equations are satisfied and the partials are continuous if z 6= 0, so f 0 (z) = ux + ivx =
y 2 −x2 2
(x2 +y 2 )2
+ i (x22xy
+y 2 )2
= −(x−iy)(x−iy)
(z z̄)2
= z−z̄ −1
2 z̄ 2 = z 2 .

(23.3b) Suppose f (x + iy) = x2 + iy 2 . Using the Cauchy-Riemann equations, determine


where f 0 (z) exists and give its value for the z when it does exist.
f (z) = x2 + iy 2 so u(x, y) = x2 and v(x, y) = y 2 .

ux = 2x
uy = 0
vx = 0
vy = 2y

The CR equations are only satisfied if x = y. When x = y, f 0 (z) = 2x.
