x3 (1 + i) − y 3 (1 − i) √
(a) f (z) = , (z ̸= 0), f (0) = 0, (b) f (z) = |xy|, ∀z ∈ C.
x2 + y 2
Show that both the above two functions are continuous and satisfied CR equations at the origin
but are not differentiable there.
2. Let f (z) = z 3 . For z1 = 1 and z2 = i, show that there do not exist any point c on the line y = 1 − x
joining z1 and z2 such that
f (z1 ) − f (z2 )
= f ′ (c).
z1 − z2
Note. Above example implies that Mean value theorem of real calculas does not extend to functions
of complex variable.

3. For a fixed w in the unit disk D = {z : |z| < 1}, define the function f (z) = . Show that
1 − w̄z
(a) f is a map from D to D and is differentiable at every point of D.
(b) f (0) = w and f (w) = 0, i.e., f interchanges 0 and w.

(d) f : D → D is bijective.
4. Let f (z) = u + iv be an analytic function defined in a domain D. Show that f (z) must be constant
if one of the following statements is true for all z ∈ D.
(a) f(z) is real valued (b) f (z) is analytic (c) |f (z)| is constant
(d) u or v are constant (e) arg(f (z)) is constant (f ) If there exist an α ∈ R s.t. f (z) = |f (z)|eiα ∀z ∈ D.
∂f
Note. Relation = 0 known as the complex form of CR equations. It shows that every analytic
∂ z̄
function is independent of z̄.
6. Suppose that g : {z : |z| < 1} ∪ {z : |z − 4| < 1} → C is an analytic function with zero derivative.
