Exercise 1. Classify the singularities of the following functions:
z sin2 z 1 1
(a) (b) (c) exp( ) (d) z cos ·
sin z z4 z z
Exercise 2. Find all entire functions f (z) such that |f (z)| ≤ 2|x| + 1 for all
z = x + iy ∈ C.
Exercise 3. Show that for every integer n there is a holomorphic function f on
C \ R− such that f (z)n = z.
Exercise 4. Let Ω be the unbounded domain Ω = {z = x + iy, x > 0, |y| < x}.
Let f be a holomorphic function in Ω which is continuous in Ω.√Assume that
|f (z)| ≤ 1 for z in the boundary of Ω. Assume also that |f (z)| ≤ e |z| for z ∈ Ω.
Show that |f (z)| ≤ 1 for all z ∈ Ω.
Exercise 5. Let f (z) be a holomorphic function in D∗ (0, 1) = D(0, 1) \ {0} with
a singularity at 0. Assume that Ref (z) > 0 for all z ∈ D∗ (0, 1). Show that 0 is
removable.
Exercise 6. Let f (z) be a holomorphic function in D∗ (0, 1) with a non-removable
singularity at 0. So that 0 is an essential singularity for ef (z) .
Exercise 7. Let Ω be a domain in C which is symmetric with respect to the real
line R. Denote by Ω+ and Ω− the intersections of Ω with the upper and lower
open half-planes, respectively. Let L denote the intersection Ω ∩ R (you can draw
a picture). Let f be a function which is holomorphic on Ω+ and continuous on
Ω+ ∪ L. Assume that f (z) ∈ R for z ∈ L. We extend f to Ω by setting
f (z) = f (z) for z ∈ Ω− or equivalently z ∈ Ω+ .
(a) Show that f is continuous on Ω.
(b) Show that f is holomorphic on Ω− .
(c) Show that f is holomorphic on Ω. You can use Morera’s theorem.
(d) Let h be a holomorphic function on Ω+ such that h(z) tends to 0 when z
tends to any point in L. Show that h is identically zero.
