−1n if n mod 4∈ {2, 3}. Define the partial sums Sk:=Pk
n=0ck. We claim that the following chain of inequalities holds 0≤ S4k+3< Sa) 4k
b)< S4k+4 c)< S4k+2
d)< S4k+1≤ 1.
To verify this, note that
S4k+3− S4k= c4k+1+ c4k+2+ c4k+3=− 16k2+ 8k− 1
(4k + 1)(4k + 2)(4k + 3) < 0, hence a) S4k+4− S4k= c4k+3+ c4k+4=− 1
4k + 3+ 1
4k + 4 < 0, hence c) S4k+2− S4k+1= c4k+2< 0, hence d).
Relation b) is obvious and so are the upper bound c1= 1 and the non-negativity constraint. We remark that {S4k+l}k≥1, l∈ {0, 1, 2, 3} describe bounded and monotone subsequences that converge to some point. Now that|cn| & 0 the difference between S4k+land S4k+m, l, m ∈ 0, 1, 2, 3 tends to zero, i.e. all subsequences converge to the same limit. Therefore the power series converges also in the case of z = i.
3.2 Analytic functions
Exercise 1. Show that f (z) =|z|2= x2+ y2has a derivative only at the origin.
Solution. The derivative of f at z is given by
f0(z) = lim
h→0
f (z + h)− f (z)
h , h∈ C
provided the limit exist. We have f (z + h)− f (z)
h
= |z + h|2− |z|2 h
= (z + h)(¯z + ¯h)− z¯z h
= z¯z + h¯z + z¯h + h¯h− z¯z h
= ¯z + ¯h + z¯h h =: D.
If the limit of D exists, it may be found by letting the point h = (x, y) approach the origin (0,0) in the complex plane C in any manner.
1.) Take the path along the real axes, that is y = 0. Then ¯h = h and thus D = ¯z + h + zh
h = ¯z + h + z
and therefore, if the limit of D exists, its value has to be ¯z + z.
2.) Take the path along the imaginary axes, that is x = 0. Then ¯h =−h and thus D = ¯z− h − zh
h = ¯z− h − z and therefore, if the limit of D exists, its value has to be ¯z− z.
Because of the uniqueness of the limit of D, we must have
¯z + z = ¯z− z ⇐⇒ z = −z ⇐⇒ z = 0,
if the limit of D exists. It remains to show that the limit of D exists at z = 0. Since z = 0, we have that D = ¯h and thus the limit of D is 0.
In summary, the function f (z) =|z|2= x2+ y2has a derivative only at the origin with value 0.
Exercise 2. Prove that if bn, an are real and positive and 0 < b = lim bn < ∞, a = lim sup an then ab = lim sup(anbn). Docs this remain true if the requirement of positivity is dropped?
Solution. Let a = lim sup
n→∞
an<∞. Then there exists a monotonic subsequence {ank} of {an} that converges to a. Since lim
k→∞bnk = b, lim
n→∞ankbnk = ab. Hence,{ankbnk} is a subsequence of anbnthat converges to ab. So ab≤ lim sup
n→∞
anbn. Hence, lim sup
n→∞
anbn ≥ b lim sup
n→∞
an. Now, let a = lim sup
n→∞
an =∞. Then there exists a subsequence {ank} of {an} such that limk
→∞ank = a > 0.
And, since lim
n→∞bn > 0, lim
k→∞ankbnk = ∞. Hence lim sup
n→∞
anbn = ∞. In this second case, lim sup
n→∞
anbn ≥ b lim sup
n→∞
an.
In both cases, we have established that ab≤ lim sup
n→∞
anbn. Now, since for all n∈ N, an> 0 and bn> 0, consider lim
n→∞
1 bn
= 1
b. Applying the inequality we have established replacing bnwith b1
n and anreplaced with anbn:
lim sup
n→∞
an= lim sup
n→∞
1 bn
(anbn)≥1 blim sup
n→∞
anbn. Rearranging,
lim sup
n→∞
anbn≤ b lim sup
n→∞
an. It follows that ab = lim sup
n→∞
anbnas required.
Now, consider the case where we drop the positivity requirement. Let bn = 0,−12, 0,−13, 0,−14, . . . and note 0 = b = lim
n→∞bn <∞. Also let an = 0,−2, 0, −3, 0, −4 . . . and note lim sup
n→∞
an = a = 0. In this case, ab = 0 , 1 = lim sup
n→∞
anbn.
Exercise 3. Show that lim n1/n= 1.
Solution. Let n∈ N. Also let a = n1/n. Then
a = n1/n
⇐⇒ log a = log n1/n
⇐⇒ log a = log n n
⇐⇒ limn
→∞log a = lim
n→∞
log n n
Now, let f (x) = log(x)
x . Then lim
n→∞f (x) = 0 by L’Hopital’s Rule. Thus, lim
n→∞
log n n = lim
n→∞f (n) = 0 also. So
nlim→∞a = lim
n→∞n1/n= 1.
Exercise 4. Show that (cos z)0=− sin z and (sin z)0= cos z.
Solution. We have by definition
(cos z)0= 1 2
eiz+ e−iz!0
= i 2
eiz− e−iz
=−1 2i
eiz− e−iz
=− sin z and similarly
(sin z)0= 1 2i

eiz+ e−iz

eiz+ e−iz
= cos z.
Exercise 5. Derive formulas (2.14).
Solution. Not available.
Exercise 6. Describe the following sets: {z : ez = i}, {z : ez = −1}, {z : ez = −i}, {z : cos z = 0}, {z : sin z = 0}.
Solution. Using the definition we obtain
{z : ez= i} =( 1 2 + 2k
! πi
)
, {z : ez=−1} = {(1 + 2k) πi} ,
{z : ez=−i} = (
−1 2+ 2k
! πi
)
, {z : cos z = 0} =( 1 2 + k
! π
) , and
{z : sin z = 0} = {kπ}
where k∈ Z.
Exercise 7. Prove formulas for cos(z + w) and sin(z + w).
Solution. We have
cos(z) = eiz+ e−iz 2 sin(z) = eiz− e−iz
2i .
1. Claim: cos(z) cos(w)− sin(z) sin(w) = cos(z + w).

2. Claim: sin(z) cos(w) + cos(z) sin(w) = sin(z + w).

Exercise 8. Define tan z = cos zsin z; where is this function defined and analytic?
Solution. Since both sin z and cos z are analytic in the entire complex plane, it follows from the discussion in the text following Definition 2.3 that tan z = cos zsin z is analytic wherever cos z , 0. Now, cos z = 0 implies that z is real and equal to an odd multiple ofπ2. Thus let
G≡( (2k + 1)π 2
k ∈Z
) .
Then tan z is defined and analytic on C−G. If z ∈ G, then cos z = 0 so tan z is undefined on the non-extended complex plane.
Exercise 9. Suppose that zn, z∈ G = C − {z : z ≤ 0} and zn = rneiθn, z = reiθwhere−π < θ, θn < π. Prove that if zn→ z then θn→ θ and rn→ r.
Solution. Not available.
Exercise 10. Prove the following generalization of Proposition 2.20. Let G and Ω be open in C and suppose f and h are functions defined on G, g : Ω → C and suppose that f (G) ⊂ Ω. Suppose that g and h are analytic, g0(ω) , 0 for any ω, that f is continuous, h is one-one, and that they satisfy h(z) = g( f (z)) for z in G. Show that f is analytic. Give a formula for f0(z).
Solution. Not available.
Exercise 11. Suppose that f : G → C is a branch of the logarithm and that n is an integer. Prove that zn = exp(n f (z)) for all z in G.
Solution. Let f (z) be a branch of the logarithm so that ef (z) = z. Let n ∈ Z and consider en f (z). In the following cases we shall apply several of the properties of the complex exponential function developed in the discussion on page 38 in the text.
CASE 1: Assume n > 0. Then we note that
en f (z)= ef (z)+ f (z)+···+ f (z) (n times)
= ef (z)ef (z)· · · ef (z)(n times)
= ef (z)n
= xn.
CASE 2: Assume n < 0. Then let m =−n so that m > 0 and en f (z)= 1
em f (z)
= 1 zm = zn, the middle step following from Case 1.
CASE 3: Assume n = 0. Then en f (z)= e0 = 1 = z0= zn.
Exercise 12. Show that the real part of the function z12 is always positive.
Solution. We know that we can write z = reiθ ,0,−π < θ < π and Log(z) = ln(r) + iθ. Thus z12 = eLogz
1
2 = e12Logz= e12(lnr+iθ)= e12lnre12θi= e12lnr cos θ
2
+ i sin θ 2
. Hence,
Re(z) = e12lnrcos θ 2
> 0, since e12lnr> 0 and cosθ
2
> 0 since−π < θ < π. Thus, the real part of the function z12 is always positive.
Exercise 13. Let G = C− {z ∈ R : z ≤ 0} and let n be a positive integer. Find all analytic functions f : G→ C such that z = ( f (z))nfor all z∈ G.
Solution. Let Log(z) be the principal branch, then log(z) = Log(z) + 2kπi for some k ∈ Z. Thus, we can write
f (z) = z1/n= elog(z)/n= e(Log(z)+2kπi)/n= eLog(z)/n· e2kπi/n.
We know that the latter factor are the n-th roots of unity and depend only on k and n. They correspond to the n distinct powers of the expression ζ = e2πi/n. Therefore, the branches of z1/non the set U are given by
f (z) = ζk· eLog(z)/n,
where k = 0, . . . , n− 1 and therefore they are all constant multiples of each other.
Exercise 14. Suppose f : G→ C is analytic and that G is connected. Show that if f (z) is real for all z in G then f is constant.
Solution. First of all, we can write f : G→ C as
f (z) = u(z) + iv(z)
where u, v are real-valued functions. Since f : G→ C is analytic, that is f is continuously differentiable (Definition 2.3), we have that u and v have continuous partial derivatives. By Theorem 2.29, this implies that u, v satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations. That is,
∂u
∂x =∂v
∂y and ∂u
∂y =−∂v
∂x. (3.1)
Since f (z) is real∀z ∈ G, this implies
v(z)≡ 0 and therefore f (z) = u(z). So, since v(z) = 0, we have
∂v
∂x = ∂v
∂y = 0 and by (3.1) we obtain
∂u
∂x =∂u
∂y = 0
and thus u0(z) = 0 (see reasoning of equation 2.22 and 2.23 on page 41). Hence f0(z) = 0. Since G is connected and f : G→ C is differentiable with f0(z) = 0∀z ∈ G, we have that f is constant.
Exercise 15. For r > 0 1et A =n
ω : ω = exp1
z
where 0 <|z| < ro
; determine the set A.
Solution. Define the set S ={z : 0 < |z| < r} where r > 0. The image of this set under 1/z is clearly T =
( z : 1
r <|z|
) . To find the image of A is the same as finding the image of T under ez. Claim: The image of A is C− {0} (thus not depending on r).
To proof the claim, we need to show that for w , 0, the equation ez = w has a solution z∈ T . Using polar coordinates we can write w =|w|eiθ. We have to find a complex number z = x + iy such that x2+ y2> 1r and exeiy= w =|w|eiθ. We want ex =|w| and y = θ + 2kπ, for some k ∈ Z. Using x = log |w| and k 0 such that (log|w|)2+ (θ + 2kπ)2> 1r, then we found z = x + iy.
Exercise 16. Find an open connected set G⊂ C and two continuous functions f and g defined on G such that f (z)2= g(z)2= 1− z2for all z in G. Can you make G maximal? Are f and g analytic?
Solution. Not available.
Exercise 17. Give the principal branch of √ 1− z.
Solution. Not available.
Exercise 18. Let f : G→ C and g : G → C be branches of zaand zbrespectively. Show that f g is a branch of za+b and f /g is a branch of za−b. Suppose that f (G) ⊂ G and g(G) ⊂ G and prove that both f ◦ g and g◦ f are branches of zab.
Solution. Not available.
Exercise 19. Let G be a region and define G∗ = {z : ¯z ∈ G}. If f : G → C is analytic prove that f∗: G∗→ C, defined by f∗(z) = f ( ¯x), is also analytic.
Solution. Let z = x + iy and let f (z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y). By assumption f is analytic and therefore u and v have continuous partial derivatives. In addition the Cauchy-Riemann Equations ux = vy and uy = −vxare satisfied. Since f∗(z) = f ( ¯x), we have f∗(z) = u∗(x, y) + iv∗(x, y) where u∗(x, y) = u(x,−y) and v∗(x, y) =−v(x, −y). Hence, we have u∗x(x, y) = ux(x,−y) = vy(x,−y), u∗y(x, y) =−uy(x,−y) = vx(x,−y), v∗x(x, y) =−vx(x,−y) and v∗y(x, y) = vy(x,−y) and therefore u∗x= v∗yand u∗y=−v∗xso f∗is analytic.
Exercise 20. Let z1, z2, . . . , znbe complex numbers such that Re zk> 0 and Re(zl. . . zk) > 0 for 1≤ k ≤ n.
Show that log(z1. . . zn) = log z1+. . . + log zn, where log z is the principal branch of the logarithm. If the restrictions on the zkare removed, does the formula remain valid?
Solution. Let z1, . . . , zn ∈ C such that Re(zj) > 0 and Re(z1· · · zj) > 0 for 1≤ j ≤ n. The proof will be by induction. Consider first the case where n = 2. Let z1, z2 ∈ C as above. Then −π2 < arg z1 < π2,−π2 <
arg z2<π2 and−π2 < arg(z1z2) <π2. But note arg(z1z2) = arg z1+ arg z2implies that−π < arg z1+ arg z2< π.
Now, recall
log(z1z2) = ln|z1z2| + i arg(z1z2)
= ln|z1| + ln |z2| + i arg(z1) + i arg(z2)
= log(z1) + log(z2)
Assume this formula is true for n = k− 1. Let z1, . . . , zk∈ C as above. Then log(z1. . . zk) = log((z1· · · zk−1)zk)
= log(z1· · · zk−1) + log zk by the case when n = 2
= log z1+ log z2+. . . + log zk−1+ log zkby the case when n = k− 1
Hence, this is true for all n such that zi, 1≤ i ≤ n, satisfy the restrictions.
If the restriction on the zkare removed, does the formula remain valid? Consider the complex numbers z1 =−1 + 2i, z2=−2 + i. Then z1z2= 0− 5i. Clearly, z1, z2, and z1z2do not meet the restrictions as stated above. Now,
log(z1) = ln|z1| + i arg z1 log(z2) = ln|z2| + i arg z2
Thus log z1+ log z2 = ln√
5 + ln√
5 + i(3π2) = ln 5 + i(3π2), but note that 3π2 < (−π, π) and log(z1z2) = ln 5 + i(−π2). Thus log z1+ log z2 ,log(z1z2) where log z is the principal branch of the logarithm. Hence, the formula is invalid.
Exercise 21. Prove that there is no branch of the logarithm defined on G = C− {0}. (Hint: Suppose such a branch exists and compare this with the principal branch.)
Solution. Define the subset ˆG of G by ˆG = C− {z ∈ R : z ≤ 0}. We use the notation Log for the principal part of the log on ˆG, that is
Log(z) = log|z| + i arg(z)
where arg(z)∈ (−π, π). We will prove the statement above by contradiction.
Assume f (z) is a branch of the logarithm defined on G. Then restricting f to ˆG gives us a branch of the log on ˆG. Therefore its only difference to the principal branch is 2πik for some k∈ Z. This yields
f (z) = log|z| + i arg(z) + 2πik
where z∈ ˆG. Since f is analytic in G, it is continuous at−1. But we can check that this is not the case, thus we have derived a contradiction
