Assignment 3

This document contains an assignment with 14 problems related to complex variables and functions. The problems cover topics like: proving entire functions are bounded or constant based on properties of their real or imaginary parts; applying the maximum modulus principle; finding maximum values of functions over bounded domains; and relating trigonometric functions to complex exponentials. Students are asked to prove statements or find maximum values involving analytic, entire and bounded functions.

1. Suppose f is entire and Ref (z) is bounded on C. Prove that f is bounded.

2. Prove that a function that is analytic in the extended complex plane is necessarily constant.

3. If f is entire function such that |f (z)| ≤ eRez for z ∈ C. What can you say about f ?

4. (A generalized version of Liouville’s theorem) Prove that an entire function f which satisfies the
inequality |f (z)| ≤ M|z|α for some α ≥ 0, M > 0, and all sufficiently large |z|, reduces to a
polynomial of degree n where n is the largest integer such that n ≤ α.

5. Suppose that f is analytic in a bounded domain D and continuous on D = D ∪ ∂D. Then prove that
the functions Ref (z) and Imf (z) attain their maximum at some points on the boundary ∂D of D.

6. Suppose f and g are analytic on the closed unit disk |z| ≤ 1 and satisfy (i) |f (z) ≤ M for all |z| ≤ 1

for some n ∈ N. Use the maximum modulus principle to find the
maximum value of |f (z)| on |z| ≤ 13 .
