Homework Statement
when complex integral is independent of path? i heard that its for every function [tex]f(z)[/tex] but when i have function [tex]f(z)=\left(x^2+y\right)+i\left(xy\right)[/tex] its not independent, why?
Complex analysis is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of functions of complex numbers. It involves the use of calculus and other mathematical tools to analyze and understand the behavior of these functions.
An integral independent of path is a type of contour integral in complex analysis where the value of the integral remains the same regardless of the path taken to evaluate it. This is only possible for certain types of functions, such as analytic functions.
A regular integral is evaluated along a specific path, and the value can vary depending on the path chosen. In contrast, an integral independent of path has a fixed value regardless of the path taken to evaluate it.
Complex analysis and integrals independent of path have a variety of applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. They are used to analyze systems with complex variables, predict the behavior of electrical circuits, and calculate the areas under curves in economics, among others.
Key concepts in complex analysis and integrals independent of path include analytic functions, Cauchy's integral theorem, Cauchy's integral formula, and the residue theorem. Other important concepts include contour integration, the Cauchy-Riemann equations, and the Cauchy-Goursat theorem.
