Properties of Real and Imaginary Parts of Holomorphic Functions

The document discusses properties of holomorphic functions and their representations in polar coordinates. It proves that for a holomorphic function f(z) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y), the curves defined by u(x,y) = C and v(x,y) = K are orthogonal at any point (x0,y0) where they intersect and f(z0) = 0. It also derives the Cauchy-Riemann equations in polar coordinates and defines several elementary holomorphic functions, including the exponential, trigonometric, and logarithmic functions.

Properties of real and imaginary parts of holomorphic functions. Theorem 1. Assume that f = u + iv be a holomorphic function dened on an open connected domain C. Consider two equations a) u(x, y ) = C and b) v (x, y ) = K, where C, K are two real constants. Assume that the equations a) and b) have the same solution (x0 , y0 ) and that f (z0 ) = 0 at z0 = x0 + iy0 . Then the curve dened by the equation a) is orthogonal to the curve dened by the equation b) at (x0 , y0 ). Proof. It is known that the gradients u(x0 , y0 ) = (ux (x0 , y0 ), uy (x0 , y0 )) and

v (x0 , y0 ) = (vx (x0 , y0 ), vy (x0 , y0 )) are orthogonal to the curves dened by the equations u(x, y ) = C and v (x, y ) = K respectively. Thus it is enough to prove that the vectors u and v are orthogonal at (x0 , y0 ). Indeed, using the Cauchy-Riemann equations we have u v = ux vx + uy vy = ux uy + uy ux = 0. The proof is complete. Cauchy-Riemann equations in polar coordinates. Usual Cauchy-Riemann equations for a holomorphic function f = u + iv as they were dened before are: ux = vy Introduce polar coordinate x = r cos , y = r sin , r=

uy = vx . x2 + y 2 = arctan y/x.

Then r = x x x2 + y 2 = cos , r = y y x2 + y 2 = sin ,

1 y sin = , (1) 2 = 2 x 1 + (y/x) x r Therefore ux = ur cos + u uy = ur sin + u uy = ur sin + u uy = ur sin + u sin , r cos , r cos , r cos , r

vy = vr sin + v vx = vr cos + v vx = vr cos + v vx = vr cos + v

Multiplying ux by cos and uy by sin and adding the results we nd ur = ur cos2 + ur sin2 = ux cos + uy sin . Using ux = vy and uy = vx we conclude ux cos + uy sin = vy cos vx sin cos sin = vr sin + v cos vr cos v r r

sin 1 = v . r

Then ur = Example 1. Let f (z ) = u(x, y ) + iv (x, y ) = ln(x2 + y 2 ) + 2i arctan y x 2 = ln |z | + 2iArg (z ) = 2(ln r + i). 1 v r and similarly 1 vr = u . r

where z = r(cos + i sin ). Then ur = 2 1 1 = 2 = v r r r and 1 0 = vr = u = 0. r

Elementary functions. 1. Exponential function. Denition. We dene exponential ez (z = x + iy C) as: ez = ex cos y + iex sin y. Properties: a) If y = 0 then ez = ex . b) ez is entire (holomorphic for any z C) Indeed, for that we check the C-R equations. Since u = Re f = ex cos y and v = Re f = ex sin y , we have ux = ex cos y = vy c) z x x e = e cos y + i e sin y = ez . z x x d) Let g (z ) be holomorphic. Then g(z) e = eg(z) g (z ). z e) Let z1 = x1 + iy1 and z2 = x2 + iy2 . ez1 +z2 = ex1 +x2 cos(y1 + y2 ) + i sin(y1 + y2 ) = ex1 +x2 cos y1 cos y2 sin y1 sin y2 + i(sin y1 cos y2 + cos y1 sin y2 ) = ex1 +x2 (cos y1 + i sin y1 )(cos y2 + i sin y2 ) = ez1 ez2 . f) |ez | = |ex | |eiy | = ex cos2 y + sin2 y = ex . and uy = ex ( sin y ) = vx .

The function ez is 2 -periodic with respect to y . g) Applying the De Moivres formula (cos y + i sin y )n = cos ny + i sin ny we obtain eiy
