    Solution for 18.112 Mid 1

    Problem 1.
    Solution: 2nπ
    z
    3 = 8e−iπ/2 =⇒ z = 2e
    −i( 6 + )
    π
    , 0 ≤ n ≤ 2,

    3
    √ √
    =⇒ z =
    2i
    or z = 3 − i or z =
    − 3 − i.

    Problem 2.
    Method 1.
    2π
    dz iei t/2
    � �
    = dt
    |z−1|= 21 (1 − z)3 0 (−eit /2)3
    � 2π
    −i
    = ·8 e−i·2t dt
    2 0
    −2it �2π
    �
    e
    = −4i �
    −2i �0
    = 0.

    Method 2. Let f (z) ≡ 1. By (24) on Page 120, we get


    2! dz
    �
    ′′
    0 = f (1) = .
    2πi |z−1|= 21 (z − 1)3

    Problem 3.
    Solution: 1) |z|=1 ez −+2z dz = 0, since 2 ∈
    � z
    / {z : |z | < 1}.

    e z +z
    = 2πi(e2 + 2), since n(γ, 2) = 1. (Theorem 6 on P119.)
    �
    2) |z|=3 z −2
    dz

    Problem 4.
    Solution: Let
    1
    g(z) = f ( ), ∀z =
    6 0,
    z
    then g is analytic on C \ {0}, and the singularity at 0 is removable or is pole of order
    h.
    If the singularity of g at 0 is removable, then lim g(z) exists and is finite, i.e.
    z→0
    lim f (z) exists and is finite. Thus f is bounded on C. Since f is analytic and
    z→∞
    bounded in the whole plane, it is a constant.
    If 0 is pole of order h, then

    g(z) = Bh z −h + Bh−1 z −h+1 + · · · + B1 z −1 + φ(z),

    where φ(z) is analytic on C. Since f is continuous (analytic) at 0, lim g(z) exists


    z→∞
    and is finite. Thus lim φ(z) exists and is finite. So φ(z) is bounded in the whole
    z→∞
    plane, and thus φ(z) = B0 is constant. So
    1
    f (z) = g( ) = Bh z h + Bh−1 z h−1 + · · · + B1 z + B0
    z
    is polynomial.

    Problem 5.
    Method 1. Take
    C : |z | = R, where R > 100.
    For any m > n, we have
    � �
    � m! f (ξ ) dξ
    �
    (m)
    �
    |f (0)| = �� �
    2πi C ξ m+1 �
    �� �
    m! �� n−m−1
    �
    ≤ ξ dξ �
    2π � C �
    m! Rn−m
    = −→ 0 as R → ∞.
    2π n − m
    Thus f (m) (0) = 0 for any m > n. By the Taylor expansion,
    f ′ (0) f n (0) n f n+1(0) n+1
    f (z) = f (0) + z +···+ z + z +···
    1! n! (n + 1)!
    f ′ (0) f n (0) n
    = f (0) + z +···+ z
    1! n!
    2
    is polynomial.

    Method 2. By |f (z)| < |z |n , we know

    lim z n+1 f (1/z) = 0,


    z→0

    i.e. f has a nonessential singularity at ∞. By last problem, f is polynomial.
