Part 2. Problems
1. Find all solutions z of the equation e2z + ez+1 + ez + e = 0.

Set w = ez . Then the equation reads w2 + (1 + e)w + e = 0 which has two solutions w = 1 and w = e. Therefore, the solutions z are z = (2k + 1)i , 1 + (2k + 1)i , k Z .
2. Suppose that f is an analytic function on a connected open set A and the real part of f (z) is equal to the imaginary part of f (z) for every z A. Prove that f is constant.

Let f = u + iv be the real and imaginary parts of f . By assumption u = v, u u u u y and x = y , which can so the Cauchy-Riemann equations become x = only be possible if both partials are identically zero. Since A is connected, it follows that f is constant.
3. Prove the following rule of integration by parts: if f and g are analytic and is a curve with starting point z1 and endpoint z2 then Z Z 0 f g dz = f (z2 ) g(z2 ) f (z1 ) g(z1 ) f 0 g dz .

By the fundamental theorem of calculus, we have Z (f g)0 dz = f (z2 ) g(z2 ) f (z1 ) g(z1 ) .

On the other hand, Z (f g) dz =

f (z) = ez = 1 + z 3 + + . . . z 2 we have f 000 (0)/3! = 1.

5. By letting R , prove that Z
|z|=R

e1/z dz = 0 zk

for k = 2, 3, 4, . . . and any R > 0.

Since the function f (z) = z k e1/z is analytic for all z = 0 and all circles |z | = R are homotopic to each other in C \ {0}, the integral does not depend on R. We have 1/R max |f (z)| e
|z|=R

because |e1/z | = e<(1/z) e|1/z| = e1/R . Therefore Z
