More About Holomorphic Functions

Holomorphic Functions are Analytic

Suppose is a holomorphic function in an open set . If is an open disc centered at and whose closure is contained in , then f has a power series expansion at

for all and the coefficients are given by

Uniqueness of Holomorphic Functions

Let be a region and two holomorphic functions. Suppose that has an accumulation point that is contained in and that

Then for all .

 

Analytic Continuation

Let be a any set and any function. Let be a region with and a holomorphic function such that for . Then g is called an analytic continuation of to .

 

Singularities and Poles

Singularities

Let be open, and \ be holomorphic (i.e., has an isolated singularity at ).

Multiplicity of Poles

If has a pole at , then in a neighborhood of that point there exist a non-vanishing holomorphic function and a unique positive integer such that

The integer is called the multiplicity or order of the pole of . If , we say that the pole is simple.


How do you judge singularities?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Representation Near Poles

If has a pole of order at , then there exists a neighborhood of , numbers , ... , and a holomorphic function such that

for all .

Notice

G(z) is a holomorphic function in a neiborhood of , while is a holomorphic function in a neiborhood of .

But you cannot contain other poles inside such neiborhood, for G to be a analytic function.

The Principle Part

is called the principal part of at the pole .

The Residue

The coefficient of / is called the residue of f at the pole , written

Notice

One pole has exactly one residue.

So if a contour contains poles, it can find residues accordingly.


How do you find the residue?

Why does the theorem work?

An Important Property of the Residue

Recall from slide 312, all has a primitive except for the case where .

A Tricky Question

Previously, we discuss about several theorems related to "whether a holomorphic function has primitives". And the most general one, Cauchy's Integral Theorem* says:

Let be an open subset of which is simply connected, let be a holomorphic function, for any closed curve in , the integral vanishes to 0.

For , ,... is there a contradiction to this theorem?

is a special case, and now we see:

For any contour whose interior contains only the pole at , by Cauthy's integral formula:

A Tricky Reminder

Again, why should the contour only contain only the pole ? What if you want to integrate along a contour containning several poles?

 

Residue Calculus

The Residue Theorem

Suppose that is holomorphic in an open set containing a (positively oriented) toy contour and its interior, except for poles at the points , ... , inside . Then

Question4

How do we generalize the residue theorem from the simple case where only one pole is contained?

How can we apply this theorem?

Calculate certain integral along certain contour in the complex plane; sometimes we use the result to help find the integration of some integrals in .

A Tricky Question

How do you compare the residue theorem with Cauchy Integral Formulas, which we can also use to find integrals?

The Complex Logarithm, Power, and Root

Complex Logarithm

The idea to define the complex logarithm can be traced back to the Cauthy's Integral Theorem...

The principal branch of the logarithm:

in which case

For brevity, we set:

We can also define other branches of the logarithm. Often, a convenient choice (especially for residue calculus) is

where and .

In general, for the principal branch of the logarithm, .

The Heaviside Operator Method

The Heaviside Function

The Heaviside Operator Method(Basic)

This method first comes up without solid proof of its correctness, but just with an idea that maybe you can perform "differentiation" by "multiplying a number".

The Heaviside Operator

Write the differential operator as .

We are assuming that all functions we consider are zero for , otherwise we multiply with . In particular,

Apply to Solve the Initial Value Problem

But this basic method might fail in some cases. For example the final solution you get does not converge. So we want to consider the idea behind the Heaviside Operator Method more intuitively.

Understand the graph...

A Tricky Question

Is the here the same as the which is defined previously?

A Tricky Question

What transformations, or operations do we still need to find explicitly in this graph?

We define a transformation , together with an operation , where we want {} to satisfy:

Then actually automatically the following properpies hold:

The Explicit Transformation

Let be an analytic function, so

With the property (why?), further we have

Recall the definition of the Euler gamma function

Which has the property that . Then

This is the conclusion. Which further gives us an interesting explicit formular for . From

And by definition , we obtain

Here, a new possible method for you to solve differential equations has come up.

First transform and the differential equation related to it, to another different function and an easier equation about ,

Second solve ,

Finally transform back to .
