Question 1(a) Examine the nature of the function f(z) = x2y5(x x4 + + y10 iy) ,z = 0,f(0) = 0 in a region including the origin and hence show that the Cauchy-Riemann equations are satised at the origin, but f(z) is not analytic there. Solution. u(x,y) = Ref(z) = {
x3y5 x4+y10

, (x,y) = (0,0) 0, (x,y) = (0,0) v(x,y) = Imf(z) = {

x2y6 x4+y10

, (x,y) = (0,0) 0, (x,y) = (0,0) Now u(x,0) u(0,0) x =0= v(0,y) y v(0,0) , therefore u

(0,0) = v

(0,0) = 0. Similarly u

(0,0). Thus the Cauchy-Riemann equations are satised at (0,0). However f(z) is not analytic at (0,0) because z0 lim f(z) z f(0) = z0 lim x4 x2y5 + y10 does not exist when we take y5 = mx2, then z0 lim f(z) z f(0) m dierent values of m. = 1 + m2 which is dierent for 1

Additional notes: Let z = 0. It can be calculated that

3x2y15 x6y5 = 4x2y15 + 6x6y5 x2y15 = x6y5 x4 = y10 or x = 0 or Also, u

v

when all those z x4 = y10 or x = 0 or y = 0. for which x4 = y10 or x = 0 Thus the or y = 0. Cauchy-Riemann equations But f(z) is not analytic at any of these points because f(z) is not dierentiable in any neighborhood of these points, as we can nd points in every neighborhood which are not of this kind, so there are no neighborhoods in which the Cauchy Riemann equations are satised everywhere.

Question 2(b) The function f(z) has a double pole at z = 0 with residue 2, a simple pole

at z = 1 with residue 2, is analytic at all other nite points of the plane and is bounded as |z| . If f(2) = 5 and f(1) = 2, nd f(z). Solution. Since f(z) has only poles as singularities in the extended complex plane, it is well known that f(z) has to be a rational function. Since f(z) has a double pole at z = 0 and a simple pole at z = 1, it has to be of the form f(z) = z2(z (z) 1) . where (z) is a polynomial such that (0) = 0,(1) = 0. Moreover degree of (z) is 3 as we are given that f(z) is bounded as z . Let (z) = a
