COMPLEX FUNCTIONS
Exponential function of complex variable

f z exeiy ex cos y i siny = u + iv
Logarithmic function of complex variable
If ew z ; then w is logarithmic function of z
log z = w + 2inπ
This logarithm of complex number has infinite numbers of values.
The general value of logarithm is denoted by Log z & the principal value is log z & is
found from general value by taking n = 0.
Analytic function
A function f(z) which is single valued and possesses a unique derivative with respect to z at
all points of region R is called as an analytic function.
u u v v
If u & v are real, single valued functions of x & y s. t. , , , are continuous
x y x y
u v v u
throughout a region R, then Cauchy – Riemann equations ;
x y x y
are necessary & sufficient condition for f(z) = u + iv to be analytic in R.

where C is a smooth curve represented by z = z(t), where a ≤ t ≤ b.
Cauchy’s Theorem
If f(z) is an analytic function and f’(z) is continuous at each point within and on a
closed curve C. then
f z dz 0

z = z 0 is an isolated singularity if there is no singularity of f(z) in the neighborhood of z
= z0 .
Removable singularity
If all the negative power of (z – a) are zero in the expansion of f(z),
n
f(z) = an z a
n0
The singularity at z = a can be removed by defined f(z) at z = a such that f(z) is
analytic at z = a.
Poles
If all negative powers of (z – a) after nth are missing, then z = a is a pole of order ‘n’.
Essential singularity
If the number of negative power of (z – a) is infinite, the z = a is essential
singularity & cannot be removed.
RESIDUES

Residue should only be calculated at poles in upper half plane.

Residue is calculated for the function:

f x dx

Where residue is calculated at poles in upper half plane & poles of f(z) are found
by substituting z in place of x in f(x).
