# Math416 Lecture 7 ## Review ### Exponential function $$ e^z=e^{x+iy}=e^x(\cos y+i\sin y) $$ ### Logarithm Reviews #### Definition 4.9 Logarithm A logarithm of $a$ is any $b$ such that $e^b=a$. ### Branch of Logarithm A branch of logarithm is a continuous function $f$ on a domain $D$ such that $e^{f(z)}=\exp(f(z))=z$ for all $z\in D$. ## Continue on Chapter 4 Elementary functions ### Logarithm #### Theorem 4.11 $\log(z)$ is holomorphic on $\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$.
Proof We proved that $\frac{\partial}{\partial\overline{z}}e^{z}=0$ on $\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$. Then $\frac{d}{dz}e^{z}=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}e^{z}=0$ if we know that $e^{z}$ is holomorphic. Since $\frac{d}{dz}e^{z}=e^{z}$, we know that $e^{z}$ is conformal, so any branch of logarithm is also conformal. Since $\exp(\log(z))=z$, we know that $\log(z)$ is the inverse of $\exp(z)$, so $\frac{d}{dz}\log(z)=\frac{1}{e^{\log(z)}}=\frac{1}{z}$.
We call $\frac{f'}{f}$ the logarithmic derivative of $f$. #### Definition 4.16 _I don't know if this material is covered or not, so I will add it here to prevent confusion for future readers_ If $a$ and $c$ are complex numbers, with $a\neq 0$, then by the values of $a^c$ one means the value of $e^{c\log a}$. For example, $1^i=e^{i (2\pi n i)}$ If you accidentally continue on this section and find it interesting, you will find Riemann zeta function $$ z(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s} $$ And analytic continuation for such function for number less than or equal to $1$. And perhaps find trivial zeros for negative integers on real line. It is important to note that the Riemann zeta function has non-trivial zeros, which are located in the critical strip where the real part of $s$ is between 0 and 1. The famous Riemann Hypothesis conjectures that all non-trivial zeros lie on the critical line where the real part of $s$ is $\frac{1}{2}$. ## Chapter 5. Power series ### Convergence #### Necessary Condition for Convergence If $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}c_n$ converges, then $\lim_{n\to\infty}c_n=0$ exists. ### Geometric series Let $c$ be a complex number $$ \sum_{n=0}^{N}c^n=\frac{1-c^{N+1}}{1-c} $$ If $|c|<1$, then $\lim_{N\to\infty}\sum_{n=0}^{N}c^n=\frac{1}{1-c}$. otherwise, the series diverges.
Proof The geometric series converges if $\frac{c^{N+1}}{1-c}$ converges. $$ (1-c)(1+c+c^2+\cdots+c^N)=1-c^{N+1} $$ If $|c|<1$, then $\lim_{N\to\infty}c^{N+1}=0$, so $\lim_{N\to\infty}(1-c)(1+c+c^2+\cdots+c^N)=1$. If $|c|\geq 1$, then $c^{N+1}$ does not converge to 0, so the series diverges.
#### Theorem 5.4 (Triangle Inequality for Series) If the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}c_n$ converges, then $\left|\sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n\right|\leq \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}|c_n|$. #### Definition 5.5 $$ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}c_n $$ converges absolutely if $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}|c_n|$ converges. Note: _Some other properties of converging series covered in Math4111, bad, very bad._ #### Definition 5.6 Convergence of sequence of functions A sequence of functions $f_n$ **converges pointwise** to $f$ on a set $G$ if for every $z\in G$, $\forall\epsilon>0$, $\exists N$ such that for all $n\geq N$, $|f_n(z)-f(z)|<\epsilon$. (choose $N$ based on $z$) A sequence of functions $f_n$ **converges uniformly** to $f$ on a set $G$ if for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a positive integer $N$ such that for all $n\geq N$ and all $z\in G$, $|f_n(z)-f(z)|<\epsilon$. (choose $N$ based on $\epsilon$) A sequence of functions $f_n$ **converges locally uniformly** to $f$ on a set $G$ if for every $z\in G$, $\forall\epsilon>0$, $\exists r>0$ such that for all $z\in B(z,r)$, $\forall n\geq N$, $|f_n(z)-f(z)|<\epsilon$. (choose $N$ based on $z$ and $\epsilon$) A sequence of functions $f_n$ **converges uniformly on compacta** to $f$ on a set $G$ if it converges uniformly on every compact subset of $G$. #### Theorem 5.7 If the subsequence (or partial sum) of a converging sequence of functions converges (a), then the original sequence converges (a). The N-th partial sum of the series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty f_n$ is $\sum_{n=0}^{N}f_n$ You can replace (a) with locally uniform convergence, uniform convergence, pointwise convergence, etc. > Corollary from definition of $a^b$ in complex plane > > We defined $a^b=\{e^{b\log a}\}$ if $b$ is real, then $a^b$ is unique, if $b$ is complex, then $a^b=e^{b\log a}\{e^{2k\pi ik b}\},k\in\mathbb{Z}$. ### Power series #### Definition 5.8 A power series is a series of the form $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}c_n(z-z_0)^n$. #### Definition 5.9 Region of Convergence For every power series, there exists a radius of convergence $r$ such that the series converges absolutely and locally uniformly on $B_r(z_0)$. And it diverges pointwise outside $B_r(z_0)$.
Proof Without loss of generality, we can assume that $z_0=0$. Suppose that the power series is $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}c_n (z)^n$ converges at $z=re^{i\theta}$. We want to show that the series converges absolutely and uniformly on $\overline{B_r(0)}$ (_closed disk, I prefer to use this notation, although they use $\mathbb{D}$ for the disk (open disk)_). We know $c_n r^ne^{in\theta}\to 0$ as $n\to\infty$. So there exists $M\geq|c_n r^ne^{in\theta}|$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$. So $\forall z\in\overline{B_r(0)}$, $|c_nz^n|\leq |c_n| |z|^n \leq M \left(\frac{|z|}{r}\right)^n$. So $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}|c_nz^n|$ converges absolutely. So the series converges absolutely and uniformly on $\overline{B_r(0)}$. If $|z| > r$, then $|c_n z^n|$ does not tend to zero, and the series diverges.
We denote this $r$ captialized by te radius of convergence #### Possible Cases for the Convergence of Power Series 1. **Convergence Only at $z = 0$**: - **Proof**: If the power series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} c_n (z - z_0)^n$ converges only at $z = 0$, it means that the radius of convergence $R = 0$. This occurs when the terms $c_n (z - z_0)^n$ do not tend to zero for any $z \neq 0$. The series diverges for all $z \neq 0$ because the terms grow without bound. 2. **Convergence Everywhere**: - **Proof**: If the power series converges for all $z \in \mathbb{C}$, the radius of convergence $R = \infty$. This implies that the terms $c_n (z - z_0)^n$ tend to zero for all $z$. This can happen if the coefficients $c_n$ decrease rapidly enough, such as in the exponential series. 3. **Convergence Within a Finite Radius**: - **Proof**: For a power series with a finite radius of convergence $R$, the series converges absolutely and uniformly for $|z - z_0| < R$ and diverges for $|z - z_0| > R$. On the boundary $|z - z_0| = R$, the series may converge or diverge depending on the specific series. This is determined by the behavior of the terms on the boundary.
