Function of a differentiable complex variable to the real direction

This article constitutes primarily an introduction to the article on the equations of Cauchy-Riemann which it makes it possible to approach directly. It defines, for the functions of a complex variable and with complex values: the derivative partial (compared to \ X, y or \ Z, \ bar {Z} ) and differentiability with the real direction.

One considers a function \ F: U \ to \ mathbb of a complex variable, definite on a open subset U of the plane complex \ mathbb. The following notations will be used:

  • the variable complexes \ z will be noted \ X + I \, y, where X , is real there
  • the parts real and imaginary of \ F (Z) = F (X + I \, there) will be respectively noted \ P (X, there) and \ Q (X, there) , i.e.: \ F (Z) = P (X, there) + I \, Q (X, there) , where \ P, \, Q is two real functions of two real variables.

Derivative partial of a function of a complex variable

Derivative partial compared to X and there

Definition: that is to say \ z_0 = x_0 + I \, y_0 \ in U, where \ x_0, \, y_0 is real.
  • one says that F admits a partial derivative (of order 1) at the point \ z_0 compared to the variable X , noted \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) if limit (finished) \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) = \ lim_ {U \ to 0, \, U \, \ in \, \ mathbb^*} \ frac {F (z_0+u) - F (z_0)}{U} exists
  • one says that F admits a partial derivative (of order 1) at the point \ z_0 compared to the variable there , noted \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial there} (z_0) if limit (finished) \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial there} (z_0) = \ lim_ {v \ to 0, \, v \, \ in \, \ mathbb^*} \ frac {F (z_0+i \, v) - F (z_0)}{v} exists

Property :

  • the partial derivative \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) exists if and only if the derivative partial \ frac {\ partial P} {\ partial X} (x_0, y_0) , \ frac {\ partial Q} {\ partial X} (x_0, y_0) exists, and then \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) = \ frac {\ partial P} {\ partial X} (x_0, y_0) + I \, \ frac {\ partial Q} {\partial X} (x_0, y_0)
  • the partial derivative \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial} (z_0) exists there if and only if the derivative partial \ frac {\ partial P} {\ partial there} (x_0, y_0) , \ frac {\ partial Q} {\ partial} (x_0, y_0) exists there, and then \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial there} (z_0) = \ frac {\ partial P} {\ partial there} (x_0, y_0) + I \, \ frac {\ partial Q} {\ partial there} (x_0, y_0)

Derivative partial of a higher nature :

  • if, for example, \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) exists in any point \ z_0 \ in U, one defines the function \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X}: U \ to \ mathbb, \, Z \ mapsto \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (Z)
  • if, moreover, the function \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} admits a derivative partial of order 1 at the point \ z_0 compared to the variable X , one notes it \ frac {\ partial^2 F} {\ partial x^2} (z_0) : \ frac {\ partial^2 F} {\ partial x^2} (z_0) = \ frac {\ partial} {\ partial X} \ left (\ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} \ right) (z_0) . In a similar way, if \ frac {\ partial} {\ partial there} \ left (\ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} \ right) (z_0) exists, it is noted \ frac {\ partial^2 F} {\ partial there \ partial X} (z_0) , etc

Derivative partial compared to \ z and \ \ bar {Z}

Definition: it is supposed that F admits derivative partial of order 1 compared to X and there at the point \ z_0. Then, one defines:

  • \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial Z} (z_0) = \ frac {1} {2} \, \ left (\ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) - I \, \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial there} (z_0) \ right)
  • \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial \ bar {Z}} (z_0) = \ frac {1} {2} \, \ left (\ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) + I \, \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial there} (z_0) \ right)

Property : by preserving the preceding assumptions

  • \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) = \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial Z} (z_0) + \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial \ bar {Z}} (z_0)
  • \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial there} (z_0) = I \, \ left (\ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial Z} (z_0) - \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial \ bar {Z}} (z_0)\ right)

Differentiability with the real direction of the functions of a complex variable

It is said that a function of a complex variable is differentiable with the real direction, or \ mathbb {R} -différentiable in a point if one can locally approach it (in the vicinity of this point) by the sum of a constant and a function \ mathbb {R} -linéaire; the latter is then single, and is called differential of the function at the point considered.

More precisely, that wants to say that \ f, as a function of two real variables, admits in the vicinity of the point considered a Développement limited of order 1, of which the differential is the linear part.

  • Definition: it is said that a L application: \ mathbb {C} \ to \ mathbb {C} is \ mathbb {R} -linéaire if: \ forall \, \ alpha \ in \ mathbb {R}, \ forall \, \ beta \ in \ mathbb {R}, \ forall \, Z \ in \ mathbb {C}, \ forall \, W \ in \ mathbb {C}, L (\ alpha \, Z + \ beta \, W) = \ alpha L (Z) + \ beta L (W) .
    • (then: \ forall U \ in \ mathbb {R}, \, \ forall v \ in \ mathbb {R}, \, L (U + I \, v) = U L (1) + v L (I) )

  • Definition: it is said that the function \ F: U \ to \ mathbb is \ mathbb {R} -différentiable in a point z_0 \ in U if there exists an application \ mathbb {R} -linéaire L: \ mathbb {C} \ to \ mathbb {C} and a function \ \ epsilon of a variable complexes such as \ epsilon (H) \ to 0 when h \ to 0 and f (z_0+h) = F (z_0) + L (H) + H \, \ epsilon (H) (by supposing that \ |H | < r, where R is the ray of an open ball such as \ B (z_0, \, R) \ subset U).
    • When it exists, the application L is single (this results from the following property); it is called \ mathbb {R} -différentielle or differential of \ f in \ z_0 and one notes it usually \ df (z_0) .
    • One says that \ f is \ mathbb {R} -différentiable on U if it is \ mathbb {R} -différentiable in any point of U .

  • Property : if \ f is \ mathbb {R} -différentiable in a point \ z_0 \ in U, then
    • it is continuous in \ z_0
    • it admits derivative partial of order 1 in \ z_0, and \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) = L (1) = df (z_0) (1) , \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial there} (z_0) = L (I) = df (z_0) (I) .

demonstration:

  • continuity: f (z_0+h) = F (z_0) + L (H) + H \, \ epsilon (H) \ to F (z_0) when h \ to 0 because L (H) \ to 0 (the -différentielle \ mathbb {R} L is a Endomorphisme of a vector Space of finished size, therefore it is continuous) and H \, \ epsilon (H) \ to 0.
  • existence and expression of the derivative partial of order 1:
    • for all U real such as \ |U | < r, f (z_0+u) = F (z_0) + L (U) + U \, \ epsilon (U) = F (z_0) + U L (1) + U \, \ epsilon (U) ; therefore, if u \ neq 0, \ frac {F (z_0+u) - F (z_0)}{U} = L (1) + \ epsilon (U) \ to L (1) when u \ to 0: this proves the existence of the derivative partial of the function \ f in \ z_0 compared to \ x, and the relation \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} (z_0) = L (1)
    • for all v real such as \ |v | < r, f (z_0+i \, v) = F (z_0) + L (I \, v) + I \, v \, \ epsilon (I \, v) = F (z_0) + v L (I) + I \, v \, \ epsilon (I \, v) ; therefore, if v \ neq 0, \ frac {F (z_0+i \, v) - F (z_0)}{v} = L (I) + I \, \ epsilon (I \, v) \ to L (I) when v \ to 0: this proves the existence of the derivative partial of the function \ f in \ z_0 compared to \ y, and the relation \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial there} (z_0) = L (I) .

  • Theorem : a sufficient condition (nonnecessary) of \ mathbb {R} -differentiability in a point, or on open.
    • Is \ z_0 \ in U. If \ f admits derivative partial of order 1 compared to X and there (or with \ z and \ \ bar {Z} ) in any point of a Voisinage of \ z_0, and if \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial X} , \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial} (or \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial Z} , \ frac {\ partial F} {\ partial \ bar {Z}} ) are there continuous in \ z_0, then \ f is \ mathbb {R} -différentiable in \ z_0
    • In particular, if \ f admits derivative partial of order 1 compared to X and there (or with \ z and \ \ bar {Z} ) definite and continuous in any point of open the U , the function \ f is \ mathbb {R} -différentiable on U . In this case, one says that \ f is \ mathbb {R} -continûment differentiable on U , or of class \ C^1 on U .
