Theorem 1. If a function \( f\left( z\right) = u\left( {x, y}\right) + {iv}\left( {x, y}\right) \) is analytic in a domain \( D \), then its component functions \( u \) and \( v \) are harmonic in \( D \) .
To show this, we need a result that is to be proved in Chap. 4 (Sec. 48). Namely, if a function of a complex variable is analytic at a point, then its real and imaginary components have continuous partial derivatives of all orders at that point.\n\nAssuming that \( f \) is analytic in \( D \), we start with the observa...

Theorem 2. A function \( f\left( z\right) = u\left( {x, y}\right) + {iv}\left( {x, y}\right) \) is analytic in a domain \( D \) if and only if \( v \) is a harmonic conjugate of \( u \) .
The proof is easy. If \( v \) is a harmonic conjugate of \( u \) in \( D \), the theorem in Sec. 21 tells us that \( f \) is analytic in \( D \) . Conversely, if \( f \) is analytic in \( D \), we know from Theorem 1 above that \( u \) and \( v \) are harmonic in \( D \) ; and, in view of the theorem in Sec. 20, the Ca...

Theorem 1. If a function is analytic at a point, then its derivatives of all orders exist at that point. Those derivatives are, moreover, all analytic there.
To prove this remarkable theorem, we assume that a function \( f \) is analytic at a point \( {z}_{0} \) . There must, then, be a neighborhood \( \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < \varepsilon \) of \( {z}_{0} \) throughout which \( f \) is analytic (see Sec. 23).

To prove the theorem here, we observe that when its hypothesis is satisfied, the theorem in Sec. 42 ensures that \( f \) has an antiderivative in \( D \) ; that is, there exists an analytic function \( F \) such that \( {F}^{\prime }\left( z\right) = f\left( z\right) \) at each point in \( D \) .

To prove this theorem, we note that since both \( g\left( z\right) \) and the sum \( S\left( z\right) \) of the power series are continuous on \( C \), the integral over \( C \) of the product\n\n\[g\left( z\right) S\left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{{N - 1}}{a}_{n}g\left( z\right) {\left( z - {z}_{0}\r...

To prove this, we write the series representation\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }{a}_{n}{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n}\;\left( {\left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < R}\right) \]\n\nin the hypothesis of the theorem using the index of summation \( m \) :\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum...

To prove this, let \( f \) be as stated and observe that not all of the derivatives of \( f \) at \( {z}_{0} \) are zero. For, if they were, all of the coefficients in the Taylor series for \( f \) about \( {z}_{0} \) would be zero; and that would mean that \( f\left( z\right) \) is identically equal to zero in some ne...

We begin the proof with the observation that, under the stated conditions, \( f\left( z\right) \equiv 0 \) in some neighborhood \( N \) of \( {z}_{0} \) . For, otherwise, there would be a deleted neighborhood of \( {z}_{0} \) throughout which \( f\left( z\right) \neq 0 \), according to Theorem 2 above; and that would b...

Theorem 1. Suppose that\n\n(i) two functions \( p \) and \( q \) are analytic at a point \( {z}_{0} \) ;\n\n(ii) \( p\left( {z}_{0}\right) \neq 0 \) and \( q \) has a zero of order \( m \) at \( {z}_{0} \) .\n\nThen the quotient \( p\left( z\right) /q\left( z\right) \) has a pole of order \( m \) at \( {z}_{0} \) .
The proof is easy. Let \( p \) and \( q \) be as in the statement of the theorem. Since \( q \) has a zero of order \( m \) at \( {z}_{0} \), we know from Theorem 2 in Sec. 68 that there is a deleted neighborhood of \( {z}_{0} \) in which \( q\left( z\right) \neq 0 \) ; and so \( {z}_{0} \) is an isolated singular poin...

To show this, we assume that \( p \) and \( q \) are as stated and observe that, because of the conditions on \( q \), the point \( {z}_{0} \) is a zero of order \( m = 1 \) of that function.

Theorem 1. If \( {z}_{0} \) is a pole of a function \( f \), then\n\n(1)\n\n\[ \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{z \rightarrow {z}_{0}}}f\left( z\right) = \infty \]
To verify limit (1), we assume that \( f \) has a pole of order \( m \) at \( {z}_{0} \) and use the theorem in Sec. 66. It tells us that\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \frac{\phi \left( z\right) }{{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{m}} \]\n\nwhere \( \phi \left( z\right) \) is analytic and nonzero at \( {z}_{0} \) .

Theorem 2. If \( {z}_{0} \) is a removable singular point of a function \( f \), then \( f \) is analytic and bounded in some deleted neighborhood \( 0 < \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < \varepsilon \) of \( {z}_{0} \) .
The proof is easy and is based on the fact that the function \( f \) here is analytic in a disk \( \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < {R}_{2} \) when \( f\left( {z}_{0}\right) \) is properly defined; and \( f \) is then continuous in any closed disk \( \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| \leq \varepsilon \) where \( \varepsilon < {...

The proof is by contradiction. Since \( {z}_{0} \) is an isolated singularity of \( f \), there is a deleted neighborhood \( 0 < \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < \delta \) throughout which \( f \) is analytic; and we assume that condition (4) is not satisfied for any point \( z \) there. Thus \( \left| {f\left( z\right) -...

Assuming that \( f\left( z\right) \) is, in fact, continuous and nonzero at \( {z}_{0} \), we can prove Theorem 2 by assigning the positive value \( \left| {f\left( {z}_{0}\right) }\right| /2 \) to the number \( \varepsilon \) in statement (4).

To prove this theorem, we note that since both \( g\left( z\right) \) and the sum \( S\left( z\right) \) of the power series are continuous on \( C \), the integral over \( C \) of the product\n\n\[ \ng\left( z\right) S\left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{{N - 1}}{a}_{n}g\left( z\right) {\left( z - {z}_{0...

If a series\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }{a}_{n}{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n} \]\n\nconverges to \( f\left( z\right) \) at all points interior to some circle \( \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| = R \), then it is the Taylor series expansion for \( f \) in powers of \( z - {z}_{0} \) .
To prove this, we write the series representation\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }{a}_{n}{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{n}\;\left( {\left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < R}\right) \]\n\nin the hypothesis of the theorem using the index of summation \( m \) :\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum...

To prove this, let \( f \) be as stated and observe that not all of the derivatives of \( f \) at \( {z}_{0} \) are zero.

We begin the proof with the observation that, under the stated conditions, \( f\left( z\right) \equiv 0 \) in some neighborhood \( N \) of \( {z}_{0} \) . For, otherwise, there would be a deleted neighborhood of \( {z}_{0} \) throughout which \( f\left( z\right) \neq 0 \), according to Theorem 2 above; and that would b...

Theorem 1. Suppose that\n\n(i) two functions \( p \) and \( q \) are analytic at a point \( {z}_{0} \) ;\n\n(ii) \( p\left( {z}_{0}\right) \neq 0 \) and \( q \) has a zero of order \( m \) at \( {z}_{0} \) .\n\nThen the quotient \( p\left( z\right) /q\left( z\right) \) has a pole of order \( m \) at \( {z}_{0} \) .
The proof is easy. Let \( p \) and \( q \) be as in the statement of the theorem. Since \( q \) has a zero of order \( m \) at \( {z}_{0} \), we know from Theorem 2 in Sec. 68 that there is a deleted neighborhood of \( {z}_{0} \) in which \( q\left( z\right) \neq 0 \) ; and so \( {z}_{0} \) is an isolated singular poin...

To show this, we assume that \( p \) and \( q \) are as stated and observe that, because of the conditions on \( q \), the point \( {z}_{0} \) is a zero of order \( m = 1 \) of that function.

To verify limit (1), we assume that \( f \) has a pole of order \( m \) at \( {z}_{0} \) and use the theorem in Sec. 66. It tells us that\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \frac{\phi \left( z\right) }{{\left( z - {z}_{0}\right) }^{m}} \]\n\nwhere \( \phi \left( z\right) \) is analytic and nonzero at \( {z}_{0} \) .

Theorem 2. If \( {z}_{0} \) is a removable singular point of a function \( f \), then \( f \) is analytic and bounded in some deleted neighborhood \( 0 < \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < \varepsilon \) of \( {z}_{0} \) .
The proof is easy and is based on the fact that the function \( f \) here is analytic in a disk \( \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < {R}_{2} \) when \( f\left( {z}_{0}\right) \) is properly defined; and \( f \) is then continuous in any closed disk \( \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| \leq \varepsilon \) where \( \varepsilon < {...

The proof is by contradiction. Since \( {z}_{0} \) is an isolated singularity of \( f \), there is a deleted neighborhood \( 0 < \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| < \delta \) throughout which \( f \) is analytic; and we assume that condition (4) is not satisfied for any point \( z \) there. Thus \( \left| {f\left( z\right) -...

Theorem 3. If \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{0}^{\infty }{a}_{n} \) converges, then \( f\left( z\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{0}^{\infty }{a}_{n}{z}^{n} \) tends to \( f\left( 1\right) \) as \( z \) approaches 1 in such a way that \( \left| {1 - z}\right| /\left( {1 - \left| z\right| }\right) \) remains bounded.
Proof. We may assume that \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{0}^{\infty }{a}_{n} = 0 \), for this can be attained by adding\na constant to \( {a}_{0} \) .

Theorem 11. An analytic function in a region \( \Omega \) whose derivative vanishes identically must reduce to a constant. The same is true if either the real part, the imaginary part, the modulus, or the argument is constant.
The vanishing of the derivative implies that \( \partial u/\partial x,\partial u/\partial y,\partial v/\partial x \) , \( \partial v/\partial y \) are all zero. It follows that \( u \) and \( v \) are constant on any line segment in \( \Omega \) which is parallel to one of the coordinate axes. In Sec. 1.3 we remarked, ...

The proof is immediate, for if \( {Sz} = \left( {z,{z}_{2},{z}_{3},{z}_{4}}\right) \), then \( S{T}^{-1} \) carries \( T{z}_{2}, T{z}_{3}, T{z}_{4} \) into \( 1,0,\infty \) . By definition we have hence\n\n\[ \left( {T{z}_{1}, T{z}_{2}, T{z}_{3}, T{z}_{4}}\right) = S{T}^{-1}\left( {T{z}_{1}}\right) = S{z}_{1} = \left( ...

If the complement of \( \Omega \) is connected, it must be contained in one of the regions determined by \( \gamma \), and inasmuch as \( \infty \) belongs to the complement this must be the unbounded region. Consequently ...

Corollary 1. If \( f\left( z\right) \) is analytic in a simply connected region \( \Omega \), then (40) holds for all cycles \( \gamma \) in \( \Omega \) .
Before proving the theorem, we make an observation which ties up with the considerations in Section 1.3. As pointed out in that connection, the validity of (40) for all closed curves \( \gamma \) in a region means that the line integral of \( {fdz} \) is independent of the path, or that \( {fdz} \) is an exact differen...

Corollary 2. If \( f\left( z\right) \) is analytic and \( \neq 0 \) in a simply connected region \( \Omega \) , then it is possible to define single-valued analytic branches of \( \log f\left( z\right) \) and \( \sqrt[n]{f\left( z\right) } \) in \( \Omega \) .
In fact, we know that there exists an analytic function \( F\left( z\right) \) in \( \Omega \) such that \( {F}^{\prime }\left( z\right) = {f}^{\prime }\left( z\right) /f\left( z\right) \) . The function \( f\left( z\right) {e}^{-F\left( z\right) } \) has the derivative zero and is therefore a constant. Choosing a poin...

Theorem 17. Let \( f\left( z\right) \) be analytic except for isolated singularities \( {a}_{j} \) in a region \( \Omega \) . Then\n\n\[ \frac{1}{2\pi i}{\int }_{\gamma }f\left( z\right) {dz} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{j}n\left( {\gamma ,{a}_{j}}\right) {\operatorname{Res}}_{z = {a}_{j}}f\left( z\right) \]\n\nfor any cyc...
In the applications it is frequently the case that each \( n\left( {\gamma ,{a}_{\jmath }}\right) \) is either 0 or 1. Then we have simply\n\n\[ \frac{1}{2\pi i}{\int }_{\gamma }f\left( z\right) {dz} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{j}{\operatorname{Res}}_{z = {a}_{j}}f\left( z\right) \]\n\nwhere the sum is extended over all s...

Theorem 19. If \( {u}_{1} \) and \( {u}_{2} \) are harmonic in a region \( \Omega \), then\n\n\[{\int }_{\gamma }{u}_{1} * d{u}_{2} - {u}_{2} * d{u}_{1} = 0\]\nfor every cycle \( \gamma \) which is homologous to zero in \( \Omega \) .
For \( {u}_{1} = 1,{u}_{2} = u \) the formula reduces to (58). In the classical notation (60) would be written as\n\n\[{\int }_{\gamma }\left( {{u}_{1}\frac{\partial {u}_{2}}{\partial n} - {u}_{2}\frac{\partial {u}_{1}}{\partial n}}\right) \left| {dz}\right| = 0.\]

Theorem 20. The arithmetic mean of a harmonic function over concentric circles \( \left| z\right| = r \) is a linear function of \( \log r \) ,
\[ \frac{1}{2\pi }{\int }_{\left| z\right| = r}{ud\theta } = \alpha \log r + \beta \] and if \( u \) is harmonic in a disk \( \alpha = 0 \) and the arithmetic mean is constant. In the latter case \( \beta = u\left( 0\right) \), by continuity, and changing to a new origin we find \[ u\left( {z}_{0}\right) = \frac{1}{2\p...

Theorem 21. A nonconstant harmonic function has neither a maximum nor a minimum in its region of definition. Consequently, the maximum and the minimum on a closed bounded set \( E \) are taken on the boundary of \( E \) .
The proof is the same as for the maximum principle of analytic functions and will not be repeated. It applies also to the minimum for the reason that \( - u \) is harmonic together with \( u \) . In the case of analytic functions the corresponding procedure would have been to apply the maximum principle to \( 1/f\left(...

Theorem 23. The function \( {P}_{U}\left( z\right) \) is harmonic for \( \left| z\right| < 1 \), and\n\n\[ \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{z \rightarrow {e}^{i{\theta }_{0}}}}{P}_{U}\left( z\right) = U\left( {\theta }_{0}\right) \]\n\nprovided that \( U \) is continuous at \( {\theta }_{0} \) .
We have already remarked that \( {P}_{U} \) is harmonic. To study the boundary behavior, let \( {C}_{1} \) and \( {C}_{2} \) be complementary arcs of the unit circle, and denote by \( {U}_{1} \) the function which coincides with \( U \) on \( {C}_{1} \) and vanishes on \( {C}_{2} \), by \( {U}_{2} \) the corresponding ...

Theorem 24. Let \( {\Omega }^{ + } \) be the part in the upper half plane of a symmetric region \( \Omega \), and let \( \sigma \) be the part of the real axis in \( \Omega \) . Suppose that \( v\left( x\right) \) is continuous in \( {\Omega }^{ + } \cup \sigma \), harmonic in \( {\Omega }^{ + } \), and zero on \( \sig...
For the proof we construct the function \( V\left( z\right) \) which is equal to \( v\left( z\right) \) in \( {\Omega }^{ + },0 \) on \( \sigma \), and equal to \( - v\left( \bar{z}\right) \) in the mirror image of \( {\Omega }^{ + } \) . We have to show that \( V \) is harmonic on \( \sigma \) . For a point \( {x}_{0}...

Theorem 1. Suppose that \( {f}_{n}\left( z\right) \) is analytic in the region \( {\Omega }_{n} \), and that the sequence \( \left\{ {{f}_{n}\left( z\right) }\right\} \) converges to a limit function \( f\left( z\right) \) in a region \( \Omega \), uniformly on every compact subset of \( \Omega \) . Then \( f\left( z\r...
The analyticity of \( f\left( z\right) \) follows most easily by use of Morera’s theorem (Chap. 4, Sec. 2.3). Let \( \left| {z - a}\right| \leqq r \) be a closed disk contained in \( \Omega \) ; the assumption implies that this disk lies in \( {\Omega }_{n} \) for all \( n \) greater than a certain \( {n}_{0} + \) If \...

Theorem 2. If the functions \( {f}_{n}\left( z\right) \) are analytic and \( \neq 0 \) in a region \( \Omega \) , and if \( {f}_{n}\left( z\right) \) converges to \( f\left( z\right) \), uniformly on every compact subset of \( \Omega \), then \( f\left( z\right) \) is either identically zero or never equal to zero in \...
Suppose that \( f\left( z\right) \) is not identically zero. The zeros of \( f\left( z\right) \) are in any case isolated. For any point \( {z}_{0} \in \Omega \) there is therefore a number \( r > 0 \) such that \( f\left( z\right) \) is defined and \( \neq 0 \) for \( 0 < \left| {z - {z}_{0}}\right| \leqq r \) . In pa...

Theorem 3. If \( f\left( z\right) \) is analytic in the region \( \Omega \), containing \( {z}_{0} \), then the representation\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = f\left( {z}_{0}\right) + \frac{{f}^{\prime }\left( {z}_{0}\right) }{1!}\left( {z - {z}_{0}}\right) + \cdots + \frac{f{(}^{\left( n\right) }\left( {z}_{0}\right) }{n!}{\...
The radius of convergence of the Taylor series is thus at least equal to the shortest distance from \( {z}_{0} \) to the boundary of \( \Omega \) . It may well be larger, but if it is there is no guarantee that the series still represents \( f\left( z\right) \) at all points which are simultaneously in \( \Omega \) and...

Theorem 4. Let \( \left\{ {b}_{\nu }\right\} \) be a sequence of complex numbers with \( \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{\nu \rightarrow \infty }}{b}_{\nu } = \infty \) , and let \( {P}_{\nu }\left( \zeta \right) \) be polynomials without constant term. Then there are functions which are meromorphic in the whole plane with pol...
We may suppose that no \( {b}_{\nu } \) is zero. The function \( {P}_{\nu }\left( {1/\left( {z - {b}_{\nu }}\right) }\right) \) is analytic for \( \left| z\right| < \left| {b}_{\nu }\right| \) and can thus be expanded in a Taylor series about the origin. We choose for \( {\mathbf{p}}_{\nu }\left( z\right) \) a partial ...

Theorem 5. The infinite product \( \mathop{\prod }\limits_{1}^{\infty }\left( {1 + {a}_{n}}\right) \) with \( 1 + {a}_{n} \neq 0 \) converges simultaneously with the series \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{1}^{\infty }\log \left( {1 + {a}_{n}}\right) \) whose terms represent the values of the principal branch of the logarithm...
The question of convergence of a product can thus be reduced to the more familiar question concerning the convergence of a series. It can be further reduced by observing that the series (16) converges absolutely at the same time as the simpler series \( \sum \left| {a}_{n}\right| \) . This is an immediate consequence o...

Theorem 7. There exists an entire function with arbitrarily prescribed zeros \( {a}_{n} \) provided that, in the case of infinitely many zeros, \( {a}_{n} \rightarrow \infty \) . Every entire function with these and no other zeros can be written in the form\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = {z}^{m}{e}^{g\left( z\right) }\mathop...
This theorem is due to Weierstrass.

Theorem 9. For \( \sigma = \operatorname{Re}s > 1 \) ,\n\n\[ \frac{1}{\zeta \left( s\right) } = \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{n = 1}}^{\infty }\left( {1 - {p}_{n}^{-s}}\right) \]
According to Theorem 6 the infinite product converges uniformly for \( \sigma \geqq {\sigma }_{0} > 1 \) if the same is true of the series \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{1}^{\infty }\left| {p}_{n}^{-s}\right| = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{1}^{\infty }{p}_{n}^{-\sigma } \) . Since the latter is obtained by omitting terms of \( \m...

Theorem 10. For \( \sigma > 1 \) ,\n\n\[ \zeta \left( s\right) = - \frac{\Gamma \left( {1 - s}\right) }{2\pi i}{\int }_{C}\frac{{\left( -z\right) }^{s - 1}}{{e}^{z} - 1}{dz} \]\n\nwhere \( {\left( -z\right) }^{s - 1} \) is defined on the complement of the positive real axis as \( {e}^{\left( {z - 1}\right) \log \left( ...
The integral is obviously convergent. By Cauchy's theorem its value does not depend on the shape of \( C \) as long as \( C \) does not enclose any multiples of \( {2\pi i} \) . In particular, we are free to let \( r \) tend to zero. It is readily seen that the integral over the circle tends to zero with \( r \) . In t...

Theorem 11.\n\n\[ \zeta \left( s\right) = {2}^{s}{\pi }^{s - 1}\sin \frac{\pi s}{2}\Gamma \left( {1 - s}\right) \zeta \left( {1 - s}\right) . \]
For the proof we make use of the path \( {C}_{n} \) in Fig. 5-1; we assume that the square part lies on the lines \( t = \pm \left( {{2n} + 1}\right) \pi \) and \( \sigma = \pm \left( {{2n} + 1}\right) \pi \) . The cycle \( {C}_{n} - C \) has winding number one about the points \( \pm {2m\pi i} \) with \( m = 1,\ldots,...
