Tutorial Sheet - 3

1. By using sufficient criterion for differentiablity, show that these functions are entire:
(a) f (z) = 3x + y + i(3y − x) (b) f (z) = (z 2 − 2)e−x e−iy .

2. Check whether the limit lim ez exists or not.


z→∞

3. Prove that Log : C \ {0} → C defined by


 y
 arctan x , x > 0,
 y
 arctan x  + π, x < 0, y ≥ 0,


Log(z) := ln(|z|) + iArg(z), where Arg(z) = arctan xy − π, x < 0, y < 0,

4. Compute the value of Log(eiπ ) and Log(ei2π ). Check whether Log(ez ) = z, z ̸= 0 holds
or not. If not, then give the neccessary and sufficient conditions so that Log(ez ) = z
holds true.

5. Let α be a positive real number. Show that Log(αz) = ln(α) + Log(z) for all z ̸= 0.
What can we say if α is a negative real number or a complex number?

6. Examine whether: (a) 1 Log(1 + i)2 = 2Log(1 + i) (b) Log(i3 ) = 3Log(i).

15. Define a region where f (z) = 1 + ez is analytic.

16. Show that if f is a branch of z a+b , then there exists branch g of z a and h of z b such
that f = gh. Is it also true that if f is a branch of z a and g is a branch of z b , then f g
is a branch of z a+b ?

17. Prove that there is no branch of logarithm defined on C \ {0}.


(Hint: Proceed by contradiction. Assume that there is such a branch and then compare
it with the principal branch.)

18. Does there exist an analytic function f = u + iv : G → C for some open set G in C
