Solutions to Homework Problems from Complex Analysis Textbook, Assignments of Mathematics

The solutions to homework problems from a complex analysis textbook. The problems involve applying various theorems and concepts from complex analysis, such as the maximum modulus theorem, liouville's theorem, and morera's theorem. Students are asked to find supremums of functions, determine entire functions, and prove analyticity of functions.

1. Do Problem 1 on page 80 of the text.
Solution: Let M(r) = sup{|f(z)|:|z|=r}. If r > R then M(r)M rn
so |f(z)| Mrnfor zB(0, r). By Thm 2.14 |f(m)(0)| m!Mrn
rm0, as
r , if m>n.
2. Do Problem 9 on page 80 of the text.
Solution: By Thm 2.30, there exists a function Vso that F=U+iV is an
entire function. Then eFis entire and |eF|=eU1, so by Liouville’s
thm eF(z)=C. It folows that eU=|C|and U=log |C|.

Solution: Suppose aGs.t. g(a)6= 0. By continuity, r > 0 s.t. g6= 0
in B(a, r), whence 1/g is analytic in B(a, r). It follows that p(z) = |f(z)|2
is analytic in B(a, r), since p=f·(f g)·(1/g). Now pRand p0(z) =

p(z+h)p(z)
hso, if hRthen Im{p0(z)}= 0 while if hiRthen
Re{p0(z)}= 0. This implies that |f(z)|=Afor zB(a, r) and, consequently,
f(B(a, r)) {z:|z|=A}. By the Maximum Modulus, fis constant in
B(a, r), and by Uniqueness thm in G.

HOMEWORK 5.

Due Monday, April 6.

  1. Do Problem 1 on page 80 of the text.

Solution: Let M (r) = sup{|f (z)| : |z| = r}. If r > R then M (r) ≤ M rn

so |f (z)| ≤ M rn^ for z ∈ B(0, r). By Thm 2.14 |f (m)(0)| ≤ m!^ M r

n rm^ →^ 0, as r → ∞, if m > n.

  1. Do Problem 9 on page 80 of the text.

Solution: By Thm 2.30, there exists a function V so that F = U + iV is an entire function. Then e−F^ is entire and |e−F^ | = e−U^ ≤ 1, so by Liouville’s thm e−F^ (z)^ = C. It folows that e−U^ = |C| and U = − log |C|.

  1. Do Problem 10 on page 80 of the text.

Solution: Suppose ∃a ∈ G s.t. g(a) 6 = 0. By continuity, ∃r > 0 s.t. g 6 = 0 in B(a, r), whence 1/g is analytic in B(a, r). It follows that p(z) = |f (z)|^2 is analytic in B(a, r), since p = f · (f g) · (1/g). Now p ∈ R and p′(z) =

limh→ 0 p(z^ +^ h h)^ −^ p(z) so, if h ∈ R then Im{p′(z)} = 0 while if h ∈ iR then Re{p′(z)} = 0. This implies that |f (z)| = A for z ∈ B(a, r) and, consequently, f (B(a, r)) ⊂ {z : |z| = A}. By the Maximum Modulus, f is constant in B(a, r), and by Uniqueness thm in G.

  1. Do Problem 2 on page 83 of the text.

Solution: Let zn = 1/n^2 and define Cn = {z : |z − zn| = 1/n^2 }. Now let γ be the curve that is obtained by tracing, in succession, the circles Cn.

  1. Do Problem 8 on page 87 of the text.

Solution: Since f is continuous, Lemma 2.7 (p.71) implies that, for any closed rectifiable γ,

γ f^ = lim^

γ fn^ = 0. By Morera’s thm,^ f^ is analytic.

  1. Do Problem 4 on page 95 of the text.

Solution: For γ a closed, rectifiable curve in G, define Γ(s, t) = γ(s)

t + |^1 γ^ −(s^ )t|

and k = 3. Then
