2 Analytic Function

1) An analytic function is a single-valued function w=f(z) that is defined and differentiable at each point of its domain D. 2) For a function to be analytic, it must satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations. The Cauchy-Riemann equations provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for a function of a complex variable to be analytic/holomorphic. 3) The Cauchy-Riemann equations in Cartesian coordinates are that the partial derivatives of the real and imaginary parts of the function must satisfy ∂u/∂x = ∂v/∂y and ∂u/∂y = -∂v/∂x.

Analytic Function :

If a single valued functions w = f (z) id defined and


differentiable at each point of a domain D then it is called analytic
function or regular or holomorphic function of z in the domain D.

What is domain..?
The set of values of the independent variable(s) for which a
function or relation is defined. Typically, this is the set of xvalues that give rise to real y-values.
Note: Usually domain means domain of definition, but
sometimes domain refers to a restricted domain.

A function is a said to be analytic at a point if it has a


derivative at that point and in some neighbourhood of that point.

If a function ceases to be analytic function at a point of the


domain then that point is called as a singular point.

Cauchy Riemann Equations In Cartesian Co-ordinates

Theorem: The necessary and sufficient conditions for a


continuous one valued function.

For a function to be an analytic function in a region R is

These conditions are known as Cauchy Riemann Equations or


briefly known as C R Equations.

Proof: (a) The Conditions are necessary


Let w = f (z) = u (x, y) + iv (x, y) be an analytic function at
every point of a region R.
Then

Let x and y be the increment in x, y. Let u, v, w be the


corresponding increments in u, v, w respectively.

As w = f (z) is analytic in R, the above limit exists


independent of the path along which z 0. Since z = x + iy, the
limit is independent of the path along which x 0 and y0.

First consider the path (QP P) first parallel to the x-axis
