CALCULUS OF COMPLEX FUNCTIONS

Introduction:
Function of a Complex variable : If 𝑧 = 𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦 is a complex variable then w=f(z) is
called function of a complex variable. W=f(z)=u+iv where u = u(x, y), v= v(x, y).
Note : i) eix=cos x+ i sin x
ii) e-ix=cos x- i sin x
𝑒 𝑖𝑥 +𝑒 −𝑖𝑥 𝑒 𝑖𝑥 −𝑒 −𝑖𝑥
iii) cos 𝑥 = , sin 𝑥 =
2 2𝑖
iv) cos ix =cos hx, sin ix = i sin hx
v) coshix = cos x, sinh ix = i sin x
𝑒 𝑥 +𝑒 −𝑥 𝑒 𝑥 −𝑒 −𝑥
vi) cosh 𝑥 = , sin ℎ𝑥 =
2 2
vii) De’ Moivre’s Theorem (cos 𝜃 + 𝑖 sin 𝜃 )𝑛 = cos 𝑛𝜃 + 𝑖 sin 𝑛𝜃 ∀𝑛 ∈ 𝑅

Let z=x+iy is a complex number as x= r cos 𝜃 and y = r sin 𝜃 in polar form⇒ 𝑧 =

𝑟 cos 𝜃 + 𝑖𝑟 sin 𝜃
= 𝑟(cos 𝜃 + 𝑖 sin 𝜃)
⇒ 𝑧 = 𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝜃
𝑦
⇒ |𝑧| = 𝑟 = √𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 is called modulus of z and 𝜃 = tan−1 ( ) is called amplitude or
𝑥
argument of z
Let 𝑧 = 𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦 or 𝑧 = 𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝜃
⇒ 𝑤 = 𝑓 (𝑧) = 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦) + 𝑖𝑣(𝑥, 𝑦) →Cartesian form
𝑤 = 𝑓 (𝑧) = 𝑢(𝑟, 𝜃 ) + 𝑖𝑣(𝑟, 𝜃) → Polar form
LIMIT : A Complex valued function 𝑓(𝑧) defined in the neighbourhood of a point 𝑧0 is
said to have a limit 𝑙 as 𝑧 → 𝑧0 , if for every 𝜀 > 0 however small there exists a positive real
number 𝛿 such that |𝑓(𝑧) − 𝑙| < 𝜀, when |𝑧 − 𝑧0 | < 𝛿. This is written as lim 𝑓(𝑧) = 𝑙.
𝑧→𝑧0
CONTINUITY : A complex valued function f(z) is said to be continuous at a point 𝑧0if
𝑓(𝑧) is defined at 𝑧0 and lim 𝑓(𝑧) = 𝑓(𝑧0).
𝑧→𝑧0

DIFFERENTIABILITY : A complex valued function f(z) is said to be differentiable if

𝑓(𝑧+𝛿𝑧)−𝑓(𝑧)
𝑓 ′ (𝑧) = lim exists and is unique.
𝛿𝑧→0 𝛿𝑧

𝑑𝑤
ANALYTIC FUNCTION : A complex valued function f(z) is said to be analytic if =
𝑑𝑧
𝑓 ′ (𝑧) exists and is unique at 𝑧0 and its neighbourhood of 𝑧0. Analytic function is also called
holomorphic or regular function.

ORTHOGONAL PROPERTY :
If 𝑓(𝑧) = 𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 is an analytic function, then the equations 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑐1 and 𝑣 (𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑐2
represents orthogonal families of curves(the two families of curves are orthogonal
trajectories of each other)
Proof : Consider the families of curves 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑐1 and 𝑣(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑐2, where 𝑐1 and 𝑐2are
constants. Then 𝑦 is a function of 𝑥on each of these curves.
Differentiating 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑐1 partially w.r.t 𝑥 we find

This gives the slope 𝑚1of a member of the family 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑐1 passing through the point
(𝑥, 𝑦).
Similarly, the slope of a member of the family 𝑣 (𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑐2 passing through the point
(𝑥, 𝑦) is

Suppose 𝑓 (𝑧) = 𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 is analytic. Then CR equations hold and we get 𝑚1 𝑚2 = −1. This
means that the two curves considered are orthogonal to each other. This proves the
requireed result.

Sol: By data 𝑢 = 𝑟 2 cos 2𝜃

Consider 𝑓 ′ (𝑧) = 𝑒 −𝑖𝜃 (𝑢𝑟 + 𝑖𝑣𝑟 )

𝑓 ′ (𝑧) = 2𝑧 and hence 𝑓 (𝑧) = ∫ 2𝑧𝑑𝑧 + 𝑐 = 𝑧 2 + 𝑐

Thus 𝑓 (𝑧) = 𝑧 2 + 𝑐

Problems on finding the conjugate harmonic function and the analytic function

We have proved that the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function 𝑓(𝑧) = 𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣are
harmonic. 𝑢 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑣are called conjugate harmonic functions (Harmonic Conjugates). Given

WORKED PROBLEMS

[12] Show that 𝑢 = 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥𝑦 2 + 3𝑥 2 − 3𝑦 2 + 1is harmonic and find its harmonic
conjugate. Also find the corresponding analytic function 𝑓 (𝑧).

Sol :𝑢 = 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥𝑦 2 + 3𝑥 2 − 3𝑦 2 + 1

uₓ = 3x² 3y² + 6x ;uₓₓ = 6x + 6

uy= 6xy 6y ;uyy = 6x 6

𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑥

v = ∫(3𝑥 2 − 3𝑦 2 + 6𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑦 + 𝑓 ( 𝑥 );v = ∫( 6𝑥𝑦 + 6𝑦 ) 𝑑𝑥 + g ( y )

v = 3x² y  y³ + 6xy + f ( x ) ; v = 3x² y + 6xy + g ( y )

Now we have to properly choose f ( x ) and g ( y ) to obtain a unique expression for v.

Simple comparision yields f ( x ) = 0 , g ( y ) = y³

(We look for functions of x only in the second expression of v and functions of y only in
the first expression of v)

Thus, v = 3x² y  y³ + 6xy is the harmonic conjugate.

The analytical function is f ( z ) = u + iv.

ie., f ( z ) = ( x³ 3xy² + 3x² 3y² + 1) + i(3x² y  y³ + 6xy )

Putting x = z, y = 0 the required f ( z ) = z³ + 3z² + 1

[13] Show that u = 𝑒 𝑥 ( x cos y ysin y ) is harmonic and find its harmonic conjugate. Also
determine the corresponding analytical function.

Sol :u = 𝑒 𝑥 ( x cos y ysin y )

uₓ = 𝑒 𝑥 ∙ cos y + ( x cos y ysin y )𝑒 𝑥

ie., uₓ = 𝑒 𝑥 ( cos y + x cos y ysin y )

Now, uₓₓ = 𝑒 𝑥 ∙ cos y + ( cos y + x cos y ysin y )𝑒 𝑥

ie., uₓₓ = 𝑒 𝑥 ( 2 cos y + x cosy y sin y ) . . . . . (1)

Also, uy= 𝑒 𝑥 ( x sin y [ y cos y + sin y ] )

or uy =𝑒 𝑥 ( x sin y + y cos y + sin y )

Now, uyy = 𝑒 𝑥 ( x cos y + [ y sin y + cos y ] + cos y )

ie., uyy= 𝑒 𝑥 ( 2cos y +x cos y ysin y ) . . . . . (2)

(1) + (2) givesuₓₓ + uyy= 0. Thusu is harmonic.

From (3), v = 𝑒 𝑥 [∫ cos 𝑦𝑑𝑦 + x ∫ cos 𝑦𝑑𝑦∫ 𝑦 sin 𝑦𝑑𝑦] + f ( x )

ie., v = 𝑒 𝑥 [ sin y + x sin y ( y ∙ cos y 1 ∙  sin y ) ] + f ( x )

(∫ 𝑦 sin 𝑦 is carried out by Bernoulli’s rule )

ie., v = 𝑒 𝑥 [ sin y + x sin y +y cos y  sin y ] + f ( x )

v = x 𝑒 𝑥 sin y + 𝑒 𝑥 y cos y + f ( x ) . . . . . (5)

Also from (4) we have,

v = sin y ∫ 𝑥𝑒 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 + y cos y ∫ 𝑒 𝑥 𝑑𝑥+ sin y ∫ 𝑒 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 + g ( y )

ie., v = sin y ( x𝑒 𝑥 𝑒 𝑥 ) + y cos y 𝑒 𝑥 + sin y 𝑒 𝑥 + g ( y )

v = x 𝑒 𝑥 sin y +𝑒 𝑥 y cos y + g ( y)

Comparing (5) and (6) we must choose f ( x ) = 0, g ( y ) = 0

Thus the required v = x𝑒 𝑥 sin y + 𝑒 𝑥 y cos y = 𝑒 𝑥 ( x sin y + y cos y )

Also, f( z ) = u +iv

ie., f ( z ) = 𝑒 𝑥 ( x cos y ysin y ) + i𝑒 𝑥 ( x sin y + y cos y )

16

Putting x = z and y = 0 we get, f ( z ) = z𝑒 𝑧

Consider ∅ = 𝑢2 + 𝑣 2 and differentiate partially w.r.t. x

Differentiating w.r.t. x again we get,

∅𝑥𝑥 = 2[𝑢𝑢𝑥𝑥 + 𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑣𝑥𝑥 + 𝑣𝑥 2]….(1)

Similarly we can get,

∅𝑦𝑦 = 2[𝑢𝑢𝑦𝑦 + 𝑢𝑦 2 + 𝑣𝑣𝑦𝑦 + 𝑣𝑦 2]….(2)

Adding (1) and (2) we get,

∅𝑥𝑥 + ∅𝑦𝑦 = 2[𝑢(𝑢𝑥𝑥 + 𝑢𝑦𝑦 ) + 𝑣(𝑣𝑥𝑥 + 𝑣𝑦𝑦 ) + 𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2 + 𝑢𝑦 2 + 𝑣𝑦 2]….(3)

Since 𝑓 (𝑧) = 𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 is analytic, 𝑢 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑣 are harmonic.

Hence 𝑢𝑥𝑥 + 𝑢𝑦𝑦 = 0, 𝑣𝑥𝑥 + 𝑣𝑦𝑦 = 0 Further we also have CR equations:

𝑣𝑦 = 𝑢𝑥 and 𝑢𝑦 = −𝑣𝑥

Using these results in the RHS of (3), we have

∅𝑥𝑥 + ∅𝑦𝑦 = 2[𝑢 · 0 + 𝑣 · 0 + 𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2 + (−𝑣𝑥 )2 + (𝑢𝑥 )2 ]

That is to prove that, ∅𝑥 + ∅𝑦 = |𝑓′(𝑧)|2 where ∅ = √𝑢2 + 𝑣 2

Consider, ∅2 = 𝑢2 + 𝑣 2 (squaring ∅ for convenience)

Differentiating w.r.t.𝑥 partially, we get,

2∅∅𝑥 = 2𝑢𝑢𝑥 + 2𝑣𝑣𝑥 and dividing by 2 we have,

∅∅𝑥 = 𝑢𝑢𝑥 + 𝑣𝑣𝑥 . . . . . (1)

Similarly we can also get, ∅∅𝑦 = 𝑢𝑢𝑦 + 𝑣𝑣𝑦 . . . . . (2)

Squaring adding (1) and (2) we have,

∅2 (∅𝑥 + ∅𝑦 ) = (𝑢𝑢𝑥 + 𝑣𝑣𝑥 )2 + (𝑢𝑢𝑦 + 𝑣𝑣𝑦 )

= (𝑢2 𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣 2𝑣𝑥 2 + 2𝑢𝑣𝑢𝑥 𝑣𝑥 ) + (𝑢2 𝑢𝑦 2 + 𝑣 2𝑣𝑦 2 + 2𝑢𝑣𝑢𝑦 𝑣𝑦 )

Since 𝑓 (𝑧) = 𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 is analytic, we have C-R equations :

𝑢𝑦 = −𝑣𝑥 and 𝑣𝑦 = 𝑢𝑥

By using these in the second bracket of RHS we have,

∅2 (∅𝑥 2 + ∅𝑦 2) = (𝑢2 𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣 2𝑣𝑥 2 + 2𝑢𝑣𝑢𝑥 𝑣𝑥 ) + (𝑢2 𝑢𝑦 2 + 𝑣 2𝑣𝑦 2 + 2𝑢𝑣𝑢𝑦 𝑣𝑦 )

= 𝑢2 (𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2 ) + 𝑣 2(𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2)

= (𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2)(𝑢2 + 𝑣 2)

But, ∅2 = 𝑢2 + 𝑣 2 and using this in the RHS we have,

∅2 (∅𝑥 2 + ∅𝑦 2) = ∅2 (𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2 )

Or ∅𝑥 2 + ∅𝑦 2 = 𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2

But, 𝑓 ′ (𝑧) = 𝑢𝑥 + 𝑖𝑣𝑥

⸫ |𝑓′(𝑧)| = √𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2 or, |𝑓′(𝑧)|2 = 𝑢𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑥 2

Using this in the RHS of (3) we get, ∅𝑥 2 + ∅𝑦 2 = |𝑓′(𝑧)|2
