Tutorial Set-2

Complex Analysis, Spring 2025

1. Show that 2
e(2z+i) + eiz ≤ e2x + e−2xy ,
and 2 2
ez ≤ e|z| .

2. Determine a so that u = cosh(ax) cos(y) is harmonic. Then find its harmonic conjugate.
3. Let the function f (z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) be analytic in some domain D. State why the functions

U (x, y) = eu(x,y) cos(v(x, y)), V (x, y) = eu(x,y) sin(v(x, y))

are harmonic in D and why is, in fact, a harmonic conjugate of U (x, y).
4. Suppose that, in a domain D, a function v is a harmonic conjugate of u and also that u is a
harmonic conjugate of v. Show that it follows that both u(x, y) and v(x, y) must be constant
throughout D.
5. Does the mean value theorem for derivatives of real-valued functions hold true for complex-valued
functions? If not, provide a counterexample.
6. Show that
(a) the function f (z) = Log(z − i) is analytic everywhere except on the portion x ≤ 0 of the line
y = 1.
(b) the function
Log(z + 4)
f (z) =
z2 + i
is analytic everywhere except at the points ± (1−i)
√
2
and on the portion x ≤ −4 of the real
axis.
7. Find the principal branch cut of
√
(a) 1 − z 2 .
(b) log(z 2 − 1).
8. Find the radius of convergence of the Bessel function of order r:
∞
 z r X (−1)n  z 2n
Jr (x) = ,
2 n=0
n!(n + r)! 2

where r is a positive integer.


9. Consider the function f defined on R by
 2
e−1/x , if x > 0
f (x) =
0, if x ≤ 0.
(n)
P∞f (0)n= 0 for all n ≥ 1. Conclude that
Prove that f is indefinitely differentiable on R, and that
f does not have a convergent power series expansion n=0 an x for x near the origin.
