SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving Laurent's Theorem using Cauchy-Riemann Equations (CRE). Participants confirm that if functions f(z) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y) and g(z) = v(x,y) + iu(x,y) are analytic in a domain D, then both u and v must be constant functions. This conclusion is derived from the application of CRE, which establishes that all partial derivatives of u and v equal zero. Additionally, the discussion touches on the Laurent expansion and the conditions for removable singularities in holomorphic functions.

Hi just a bit of help needed here as I don;t know where to start:

Part (A)
----------------------------
Suppose f(z) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y)\;and\;g(z) = v(x,y) + iu(x,y) are analytic in some domain D. Show that both u and v are constant functions..?

I guess we have to use the CRE here but not really sure how to approach this..?

Part (B)
----------------------------
Let f be a holomorphic function on the punctured disk D'(0,R) = \left\{ {z \in C:0 < |z| < R} \right\} where R>0 is fixed. What is the formulae for c_n in the Laurent expansion:
<br /> f(z) = \sum\limits_{n = - \infty }^\infty {c_n z_n }.

Using these formulae, prove that if f is bounded on D'(0,R), it has a removable singularity at 0.

- Well I know that:
c_n = \frac{1}<br /> {{2\pi i}}\int\limits_{\gamma _r }^{} {\frac{{f(s)}}<br /> {{(s - z_0 )^{n + 1} }}} ds = \frac{{f^{(n)} (z_0 )}}<br /> {{n!}}.
Any suggestions from here?


PART (C)
-------------------
Find the maximal radius R>0 for which the function <br /> f(z) = (\sin z)^{ - 1} is holomorphic in D'(0,R) and find the principal part of its Laurent expansion about z_0=0

??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

I'll start you out with the first one. CRE's for the f(z) tell you u_x=v_y and u_y=-v_x. CRE's for g(z) tell you v_x=u_y and v_y=-u_x. What happens when you put both of these together?
 
For the second one, you might want to focus your efforts on proving that c_n=0 for n<0.
 
hmm so for part (1)
u_x = v_y = -u_x AND
u_y = -v_x = v_x

so u and v are constant because u_x = -u_x and -v_x = v_x

is that correct?
 
Yes. u_x=-u_x means u_x=0. The same for all of the other stuff. All of the partial derivatives are zero. Hence?

What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
