Graphing functions of two complex variables.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on graphing functions of two complex variables, specifically the function f(z,w) = √((log |z+w|)² + (log |z−w̅|)²). The user seeks methods for visualizing this function either by hand or using Maple software. Participants highlight the inherent complexity of visualizing four-dimensional domains, indicating that traditional graphing techniques may not suffice for such functions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex variables and functions
  • Familiarity with logarithmic functions and their properties
  • Basic knowledge of graphing techniques in higher dimensions
  • Experience with Maple software for mathematical visualization
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced graphing techniques for complex functions in Maple
  • Research methods for visualizing four-dimensional data
  • Learn about the implications of complex analysis on graphical representation
  • Investigate alternative software tools for complex function visualization, such as MATLAB or Mathematica
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, educators, and students involved in complex analysis, as well as software developers working on mathematical visualization tools.

Hello,

I have come across this problem in my studies where I need to try to come up with a graph of a function involving two complex numbers. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now, but I am not sure how to do it. Is there any way to do this type of thing by hand or in Maple?

The type of thing I need to find a graphical representation of is:

f(z,w) = \sqrt{(\log |z+w|)^2 + (\log |z-\overline{w}|)^2}

This is a bit simpler than the ones I have, but it's similar. If anyone can help, thank you in advance!

You're not going to have much luck as the domain is four dimensional and therefore difficult to visualize.
 
That's what I was afraid of... Thank you anyways. :smile:
