Finding Center and Radius of Circle in Conformal Mapping

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the center and radius of a circle in the context of conformal mapping, specifically using the transformation \( w = \frac{z+2}{z-2} \) to convert a line defined by \( \text{Im} z + \text{Re} z = 0 \). Participants also explore related problems involving transformations and mappings of various domains.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a solution for finding the center \( w_0 \) and radius \( R \) of the circle, detailing the transformation process and calculations involved.
  • Another participant questions whether the original problem is asking for the circle that maps to the line under the given transformation.
  • A different participant suggests using polar coordinates and discusses the mapping in terms of real and imaginary parts, indicating a method to derive the image of the mapping.
  • A later reply indicates that the initial poster has resolved their problems, suggesting that they found the information helpful.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the interpretation of the original problem, and there are varying approaches to the subsequent problems posed. The discussion remains open with multiple viewpoints and methods presented.

Contextual Notes

Some mathematical steps and assumptions are not fully detailed, and the implications of the transformations on the specified domains are not resolved. The discussion includes various methods and interpretations that may depend on specific definitions or approaches.

Who May Find This Useful

Readers interested in conformal mapping, complex analysis, and mathematical transformations may find the discussion relevant, particularly those working on related problems or seeking different methods of approach.

Can you tell me is my solution true of the next problem.
Find center [tex]w_0[/tex] and radius [tex]R[/tex] of the circle [tex]k[/tex], in which the transformation [tex]w=\frac{z+2}{z-2}[/tex]
converts the line [tex]l:\text{Im} z+\text{Re} z=0[/tex].

Solution:

[tex]2 \to\infty[/tex]

[tex]-2i=(2)^*\to w_0[/tex]

[tex]w_0=w(-2i)=\frac{-2i+2}{-2i-2}=\frac{1-i}{-1-i}*\frac{-1+i}{-1+i}=i[/tex] - center of [tex]k[/tex]

[tex]0\to \frac{0+2}{0-2}=-1\in k[/tex]

[tex]R=|-1-i|=\sqrt{2}[/tex]

And can you help me with these problems:

1. Find the image of the domain [tex]\left{\begin{array}{ll}\text{Re}>0 \\ \text{Im} >0 \end{array}\right[/tex], cut along the arc [tex]\left{\begin{array}{ll} |z|=1 \\ 0 \le \arg z \le \frac{\pi}{4} \end{array}\right[/tex], by transformation [tex]w=\frac{1}{z^2}[/tex]

2. The domain [tex]\left{\begin{array}{ll} |z-1|<1 \\ |z-\frac{1}{3}|>\frac{1}{3} \end{array}\right[/tex], cut along the segment [tex][1;2][/tex], to display conformal in the stripe [tex]0<\text{Im} w<1[/tex].

Thanks in advansed :) .

Is it asking find the cirlce that is mapped to the line under the given transformation?

And the answer to 1. is similar to the map of the inverse transformation, but now the angle has changed.

It might be helpful to think of it as a composition of two operations, inversion, and then squaring. Put z into polar coordinates, and the map should be fairly strightforward
 
for z=1, then z=e^(i*thetha), so plug into the mapping equation, so you get w in terms of e^(i*thetha), you can do that by getting rid of the bottom by e^(-i*thetha)-2, so you get a real & imaginary part in numerator, and real part in denominator. Thus you get real and imaginary parts and this corresponds to the real and imaginary parts and hence the image of the mapping.. hopefully this helps.
 
Thanks for the replies. Already handled with these problems :cool:.
