Functions of a Complex Variable
Let E be a set of complex numbers. A function f defined on E is a rule that assigns to each

z in E a complex number w. The number w is called the value of f at z and is denoted by f ( z ) ;
that is, w = f ( z ) . The set E is called the domain of definition of f, written D ( f ) ,

D ( f ) = { z ∈ : f ( z ) defined } .

Determine the domain definition of f ( z ) =

z +1
and g ( z ) = z 2 + z + 1
z + z +1

Solution:
D ( f ) = {z ∈

: f ( z ) defined }


D ( g ) = { z ∈ : g ( z ) defined }

= { z ∈ : z 2 + z + 1 ≠ 0}
= z∈

Limits
Let a function f be defined at all points z in some deleted neighborhood of z0 . The statement

that the limit of f ( z ) as z approaches z0 is a number w0 , or

lim f ( z ) = w0


(2)

z → z0

means that the point w = f ( z ) can be made arbitrarily close to w0 if we choose the point z close
enough to z0 but distinct from it. Equation (2) means that, for each positive number ε , there is a
positive number δ such that

f ( z ) − w0 < ε

whenever

0 < z − z0 < δ .

Solution:
From the properties of modulli, we have

Observe that when ∀z ∈ is in the region z − i < 1 ,

z + i = z − i + 2i ≤ z − i + 2i < 1 + 2 = 3 .
Hence, for ∀z ∈ such that z − i < 1 ,

Note that when a limit function f ( z ) exist at a point z0 , it is unique.

If f ( z ) =

z
, then lim f ( z ) does not exist.

When z = ( x, 0 ) is a nonzero point on the real axis,

f ( z) =

x − i0
=1
x + i0

and when z = ( 0, y ) is a nonzero point on the imaginary axis,

f ( z) =


0 − iy
= −1 .
0 + iy

Thus, by letting z approach the origin along real axis, we would find that the desired limit is 1.
An approach along imaginary axis would, on the other hand, yield the limit -1. Since the limit is
unique, we must conclude that lim
z →0

does not exist.

Since limits of the latter type are studied in calculus, we use their definition and properties
freely.

Suppose that

f ( z ) = u ( x, y ) + iv ( x, y ) ,


z0 = x0 + iy0 , and

w0 = u0 + iv0 .

Then

lim f ( z ) = w0
