Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around applying the Cauchy-Riemann equations (CRE) to demonstrate properties of analytic functions, specifically focusing on functions defined in complex analysis. The original poster seeks assistance with multiple parts of a problem related to Laurent's theorem and holomorphic functions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to understand how to apply the Cauchy-Riemann equations to show that the functions u and v are constant. Some participants suggest starting with the CRE for the given functions and exploring the implications of their derivatives being equal to zero.

Discussion Status

Participants are actively engaging with the problem, providing insights into the application of the Cauchy-Riemann equations. There is a recognition that if the partial derivatives are zero, it implies that the functions are constant. However, the discussion is still ongoing without a definitive conclusion.

Contextual Notes

The original poster has posed multiple parts to the problem, indicating a broader context that includes the analysis of singularities and Laurent expansions. There is an emphasis on understanding the implications of boundedness on singularities in the punctured disk.

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

Part (A)
----------------------------
Suppose [itex]f(z) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y)\;and\;g(z) = v(x,y) + iu(x,y)[/itex] 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 [itex]D'(0,R) = \left\{ {z \in C:0 < |z| < R} \right\}[/itex] where R>0 is fixed. What is the formulae for c_n in the Laurent expansion:
[itex] f(z) = \sum\limits_{n = - \infty }^\infty {c_n z_n }[/itex].

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

- Well I know that:
[itex]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!}}[/itex].
Any suggestions from here?


PART (C)
-------------------
Find the maximal radius R>0 for which the function [itex] f(z) = (\sin z)^{ - 1}[/itex] 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?
