The insight into algebraic curves afforded by complex coordinates—that a complex curve is topologically a surface—has important repercussions for functions defined as integrals of algebraic functions, such as the logarithm, exponential, and elliptic functions. The complex logarithm turns out to be “many-valued,” due to the different paths of integration in the complex plane between the same endpoints. It follows that its inverse function, the exponential function, is periodic. In fact, the complex exponential function is a fusion of the real exponential function with the sine and cosine: e x+iy = e x (cos y + i sin y). The double periodicity of elliptic functions also becomes clear from the complex viewpoint. The integrals that define them are taken over paths on a torus surface, on which there are two independent closed paths. The two-dimensional nature of complex numbers imposes interesting and useful constraints on the nature of differentiable complex functions. Such functions define conformal (angle-preserving) maps between surfaces. Also, their real and imaginary parts satisfy equations, called the Cauchy–Riemann equations, that govern fluid flow. So complex functions can be used to study the motion of fluids. Finally, the Cauchy–Riemann equations imply Cauchy’s theorem. This fundamental theorem guarantees that differentiable complex functions have many good features, such as power series expansions.

The discrete analogue of a class of entire functions

The position analysis of a nine-link Barranov truss is finished by using Dixon resultants together with Sylvester resultants. Above all, using vector method in complex plane to construct four constraint equations and transform them into complex exponential form, then three constraint equations are used to construct a 6×6 Dixon matrix, which contains two variables to be eliminated. We extract the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two columns of Dixon matrix and compute its determinant to obtain a new equation. This equation together with the fourth constraint equation can be used to construct a Sylvester resultant. A 50deg univariate polynomial equation is obtained from the determinant of Sylvester resultant. Other variables can be computed by Euclidean algorithm and Gaussian elimination. Lastly, a numerical example confirms that the analytical solution number of the Barranov truss is 50. It is the first time to complete analytical solutions of this kind of Barranov truss.

There are many articles in the literature dealing with a first, second and third-order differential inequalities, inclusions or subordinations in the complex plane, none of which deals with systems of such topics. This article investigates systems of two second-order simultaneous differential inequalities, inclusions and subordinations in two complex functions p and q in the complex plane. A typical example of a system of differential inequalities is $$ \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}l} {\text{Re} [2p(z) + zp^{{\prime }} (z) + z^{2} p^{{\prime \prime }} (z) - q(z)] > 0,} \hfill \\ {\text{Re} [p(z) + 7zq^{{\prime }} (z)] > 4.} \hfill \\ \end{array} } \right. $$ The authors determine properties of the functions p and q satisfying some special systems of differential inequalities, and extend their results to differential inclusions and subordinations.

Random dynamics of polynomials and devil’s-staircase-like functions in the complex plane

This chapter examines complex functions as transformations. A complex function f is a rule that assigns to a complex number z an image complex number w = f(z). In order to investigate such functions, it is essential that one is able to visualize them. Several methods exist for doing this, but the chapter focuses almost exclusively on the method introduced in the previous chapter. This means viewing z and its image w as points in the complex plane, so that f becomes a transformation of the plane. The chapter begins by looking at polynomials, power series, the exponential function, and cosine and sine. It then considers multifunctions, the logarithm function, and the process of averaging over circles.

This paper deals with the robust stability problem of multilinear affine polynomials. By multilinear affine polynomials, we mean an uncertain polynomial family consisting of multiples of independent uncertain polynomials of the form P(s, q) = l/sub 0/(q)+l/sub 1/(q)s+/spl middot//spl middot//spl middot/+l/sub n/(q)s/sup n/ whose coefficients depend linearly on q = [q/sub 1/, q/sub 2/, ..., q/sub q/]/sup T/ and the uncertainty box is Q = {q : q/sub i//spl isin/[q_/sub i/_, q~/sub i/~], i = 1, 2, ...., q}. Using the geometric structure of the value set of P(s, q), a powerful edge elimination procedure is proposed for computing the value set of multilinear affine polynomials. In order to construct the value set of a multilinear affine polynomial, the mapping theorem can be used. However, in this case, it is necessary to find the images of all vertex polynomials and then taking the convex hull of the images of the vertex polynomials in the complex plane which is a computationally expensive procedure. On the other hand, the approach of the present paper greatly reduces the number of the images of vertex polynomials which are crucial for the construction of the value set. Using the proposed approach for construction of the value set of multilinear affine polynomials together with the zero exclusion principle, a robust stability result is given. The proposed stability result is important for the robust stability of control systems with multilinear affine transfer functions.

Let $G$ be a bounded open subset in the complex plane and let $H^{2}(G)$ denote the Hardy space on $G$. We call a bounded simply connected domain $W$ perfectly connected if the boundary value function of the inverse of the Riemann map from $W$ onto the unit disk $D$ is almost 1-1 rwith respect to the Lebesgure on $\partial D$ and if the Riemann map belongs to the weak-star closure of the polynomials in $H^{\infty}(W)$. Our main theorem states: In order that for each $M\in Lat(M_{z})$, there exist $u\in H^{\infty}(G)$ such that $ M = \vee\{u H^{2}(G)\}$, it is necessary and sufficient that the following hold: 1) Each component of $G$ is a perfectly connected domain. 2) The harmonic measures of the components of $G$ are mutually singular. 3) % $P^{\infty}(\omega) The set of polynomials is weak-star dense in $ H^{\infty}(G)$. \noindent Moreover, if $G$ satisfies these conditions, then every $M\in Lat(M_{z})$ is of the form $u H^{2}(G)$, where %$u\in H^{\infty}(G)$ and the restriction of $u$ to each of the components of $G$ is either an inner function or zero.

In this paper we explore two sets of polynomials, the orthogonal polynomials and the residual polynomials, associated with a preconditioned conjugate gradient iteration for the solution of the linear system Ax = b. In the context of preconditioning by the matrix C, we show that the roots of the orthogonal polynomials, also known as generalized Ritz values, are the eigenvalues of an orthogonal section of the matrix C A while the roots of the residual polynomials, also known as pseudo‐Ritz values (or roots of kernel polynomials), are the reciprocals of the eigenvalues of an orthogonal section of the matrix (C A)−1. When C A is selfadjoint positive definite, this distinction is minimal, but for the indefinite or nonselfadjoint case this distinction becomes important. We use these two sets of roots to form possibly nonconvex regions in the complex plane that describe the spectrum of C A.

In the present work we introduce a weighted Cauchy-Riemann type operator in the complex plane, where the weights are complex non-constant functions. We construct a fundamental solution for this operator where the weights are complex constant functions and orthogonal functions inspired by the idea for the construction of the Levy function proposed by Miranda (see [23]). Therefore we obtain a Cauchy-Pompeiu integral representation formula. We also present some examples of such representations when we take some particular weights.

This note could find classroom use in an introductory course on complex analysis. Using some of the most significant theorems from complex analysis, the main result provides a simple method for transforming many elementary functions (defined on the complex plane) into everywhere continuous functions that are differentiable only on a nowhere dense set. Accordingly, such continuous functions are termed ‘practically nowhere differentiable’. The twofold pedagogical value of this method is that (1) students can readily generate examples of everywhere continuous, practically nowhere differentiable functions that do not require any direct appeal to infinite series, and (2) the often dynamical difference between the behaviour of functions of a complex variable and functions of a real variable is showcased.

We briefly review the solution of three ensembles of non-Hermitian random matrices generalizing the Wishart-Laguerre (also called chiral) ensembles. These generalizations are realized as Gaussian two-matrix models, where the complex eigenvalues of the product of the two independent rectangular matrices are sought, with the matrix elements of both matrices being either real, complex or quaternion real. We also present the more general case depending on a non-Hermiticity parameter, that allows us to interpolate between the corresponding three Hermitian Wishart ensembles with real eigenvalues and the maximally non-Hermitian case. All three symmetry classes are explicitly solved for finite matrix size NxM for all complex eigenvalue correlations functions (and real or mixed correlations for real matrix elements). These are given in terms of the corresponding kernels built from orthogonal or skew-orthogonal Laguerre polynomials in the complex plane. We then present the corresponding three Bessel kernels in the complex plane in the microscopic large-N scaling limit at the origin, both at weak and strong non-Hermiticity with M-N greater or equal to 0 fixed.

A complex function fis a rule that assigns to a complex number zan image complex number w= f(z). In order to investigate such functions it is essential that we be able to visualize them. Several methods exist for doing this, but (until Chapter 10) we shall focus almost exclusively on the method introduced in the previous chapter. That is, we shall view zand its image was points in the complex plane, so that fbecomes a transformation of the plane.
