Analytic in the unit disc
$z^7$ yes
$|z|$ no
$\frac{1}{z}$ yes
Correct?
$z^7$ yes
$|z|$ no
$\frac{1}{z}$ yes
Correct?
This discussion focuses on the analyticity of functions within the unit disc, specifically evaluating the functions $z^7$, $|z|$, and $\frac{1}{z}$. It is established that $z^7$ is complex differentiable everywhere in the unit disc, while $|z|$ is not complex differentiable at any point, and $\frac{1}{z}$ is not differentiable at the origin. The Cauchy-Riemann equations are utilized to confirm the differentiability of these functions, leading to the conclusion that $|z|$ does not satisfy the conditions for analyticity.
PREREQUISITESStudents and professionals in mathematics, particularly those specializing in complex analysis, as well as educators teaching the fundamentals of analytic functions and differentiability.

Random Variable said:$z^{7}$ is complex differntiable everywhere, $|z|$ is complex differentiable nowhere, and $\frac{1}{z}$ is not complex differentiable at the origin
so the last one is incorrect
Random Variable said:I was interpreting $|z|$ as the complex conjugate for some reason. Sorry.
I would use the Cauchy Riemann equations to check if $|z|$ is differentiable inside the unit disc.
Random Variable said:Yeah. $|z| = |x+iy| = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} + i 0 = u(x,y) + iv(x,y) $
And the function is differentiable only where the Cauchy-Riemann equations are satisfied:
$u_{x} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}} $ $u_{y}= \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}$, $v_{x}=0$, and $v_{y}=0$
$u_{x} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}} = v_{y} = 0$ and $u_{y} = \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}} = - v_{x} = 0$
The equations are not satisifed at the origin, which is inside the unit disc.
So $|z|$ is not analytic inside the unit disc.EDIT: Actually, $|z|$ doesn't appear to be differentiable anywhere.
