Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying and sketching open sets in the context of complex analysis, specifically focusing on the conditions defined by the argument and real and imaginary parts of complex numbers.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the implications of the conditions for the argument of a complex number, questioning how to sketch the sets and whether certain regions qualify as domains.
  • Some participants express uncertainty about the definitions of the principal argument and the concept of branch cuts, while others seek clarification on the boundaries of the defined sets.
  • There is a discussion about the interpretation of the conditions for the imaginary part and the implications of boundedness.

Discussion Status

The conversation is ongoing, with various interpretations being explored. Some participants have offered insights into the nature of the sets and their boundaries, while questions remain about specific definitions and the implications of the conditions provided.

Contextual Notes

Participants are navigating the complexities of defining domains in the context of complex numbers, with some expressing confusion over the definitions and implications of the argument and its absolute value. There is also a noted discrepancy regarding the boundedness of the imaginary part of the complex number.

For the following open sets
a) |Arg z| <pi/4
b) -1 < I am z <= 1
c) (Re z)^2 > 1

Sketch the sets
Which are domains
Describe the boundary

a) |Arg z |< pi/4

well ok that means
[tex]|\theta_{0} + 2 \pi k| < \pi/4[/tex]
so the theta must alwasy be less than pi/4
im not sure how to sketch this... i mthinking its the attached diagram, but only the triangle in the first quadrant
yes it is a domain
umm is there a way to do with without diagram??

b) -1 < I am z <= 1
shaded part of 2
yes it is a domain
the region bounded by y = -1 from the bottom and unbounded above


c) (Re z)^2 > 1
like 3?
not a domain
unbounded

Is this the principal argument: Arg as opposed to arg? If so then where is the branch cut for Arg? And what does that absolute value sign do?

it is Arg
what do u mean branch cut??

How is Arg z (the principal argument of z ) defined?

the branct cut is at pi/2 for the principle argument yes??

No... And if it were the question posed to you would be somewhat impossible.
 
[tex]|Arg z|< \frac{\pi}{4}[/tex]

It really doesn't matter whether or not "Arg" means the principal argument: since it's between [itex]-\frac{/pi}{4}[/itex] and [itex]\frac{\pi}{4}[/itex], it IS, except for the negative values, the principal argument!
Stunner5000pt, it's not just in the first quadrant- since this is absolute value, you can have negative values of the argument and so include the fourth quadrant.

"b) -1 < I am z <= 1
shaded part of 2

the region bounded by y = -1 from the bottom and unbounded above"

Why unbounded above? It say "Im z<= 1".

"c) (Re z)^2 > 1"

In other words, Re z> 1 or Re z< -1.
