Part B
1. Show that the function f (z) = is no where differentiable.
Solution: Given u+iv = x-iy
u=x
v=-y
ux =1
vx =-1
uy =0
vy =-1
u x vy
C-R equations are not satisfied.
f (z) = is no where differentiable.
2. Show that f (z) =

is differentiable at z=0 but not analytic at z=0.

Solution: Let
=z =
v=0
ux =2x
vx =0
uy =2y
vy = 0
ux = vy and uy = - vx are not satisfied everywhere except at z=0

So f (z) may be differentiable only at z=0. Now ux,vx,uy,vy are continuous everywhere and in
particular at (0,0).
3. Test the analyticity of the function w=sin z.
Solution: w=f (z) =sin z
u+iv = sin(x+iy)
=sin x cosiy+ cos x siniy
= sin x coshy+i cos x sinhy
u= sin x cushy
v= cos x sinhy
ux = cosx cushy
vx = -sinx sinhy
uy = sinx sinhy
vy = cosx cushy
ux = vy and uy = - vx
C-R equations are satisfied.
The function is analytic.
4. Verify the function 2xy+i(

Solution: u=2xy

v=

ux = 2y
uy = 2x
ux vy and uy

v x = 2x
v y = -2y

C-R equations are not satisfied.

The function is not analytic.

The function is analytic.
6. If u+iv = is analytic, show that v-iu and v+iu are also analytic.
Solution: Given u+iv is analytic.
C-R equations are satisfied.
i.e. ux = vy ------------------- (1) and uy = - vx------------------------------(2)
To prove v-iu and v+iu are also analytic
For this, we have to show that
(i)
ux = vy and -uy = vx
(ii) ux = vy and uy = - vx

These results follow directly from (1) & (2) by replacing u by v and v and v u and u respectively.
v-iu and v+iu are analytic.
7.Give an example such that u and v are harmonic but u+iv is not analytic.
Solution: Consider the function w= = x-iy
u=x

v=-y

vy ,

The function f(z) is not analytic. But

and

gives u and v are

harmonic.
8.If f (z) = u(x,y) +v(x,y) is an analytic function. Then the curves u(x,y) = c1and v(x,y) =c2 where c1and
c2 are constants are orthogonal to each other.

But by total differential operator we have
du =

(Say)
Similarly, for the curve v(x,y) =c2 we have
(Say)
For any curve

gives the slope, Now the product of the slopes is

u(x,y) = c1and v(x,y) =c2 intersect at right angles (i.e) they are

orthogonal to

each other.

Case (i): When a

Equation (1) and (2) represents circles in the z-plane and w-plane not passing through the origin.
The transformation w =1/z transforms circles not passing through the origin into circles not
passing through the origin.
Case (ii): When a
d=0
The equation (1) is circle through the origin in z-plane and (2) is a straight line; not passing
through the origin in the w-plane.
Circles passing through the origin in the z-planes maps into the straight lines,
not passing
through the origin in the w-plane.
Case (iii): When a = d 0
Equation (1) represents a straight line not passing through the origin and (2) represents a circle in
the w-plane passing through the origin. Thus lines in the z-plane not passing through the origin
map into circles through the origin in the w-plane.
Case (iv): When a = d= 0
Equation (1) and (2) represents straight lines passing through the origin. Thus the lines through the
origin in the z- plane map into the lines through the origin in the w- plane.
