The pointz{\displaystyle z} andf(z){\displaystyle f(z)} are shown in theC=~R2{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} {\tilde {=}}\mathbb {R} ^{2}}. y-axis represents the imaginary part of the complex number ofz{\displaystyle z} andf(z){\displaystyle f(z)}.

Inmathematics, aholomorphic function is acomplex-valued function of one ormorecomplex variables that iscomplex differentiable in aneighbourhood of each point in adomain incomplex coordinate spaceCn{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}}. The existence of a complex derivative in a neighbourhood is a very strong condition: It implies that a holomorphic function isinfinitely differentiable and locally equal to its ownTaylor series (isanalytic). Holomorphic functions are the central objects of study incomplex analysis.

Though the termanalytic function is often used interchangeably with "holomorphic function", the word "analytic" is defined in a broader sense to denote any function (real, complex, or of more general type) that can be written as a convergentpower series in a neighbourhood of each point in itsdomain. That all holomorphic functions are complex analytic functions, and vice versa, is amajor theorem in complex analysis.[1]

Holomorphic functions are also sometimes referred to asregular functions.[2] A holomorphic function whose domain is the wholecomplex plane is called anentire function. The phrase "holomorphic at a pointz0{\displaystyle z_{0}}" means not just differentiable atz0{\displaystyle z_{0}}, but differentiable everywhere within some close neighbourhood ofz0{\displaystyle z_{0}} in the complex plane.

Definition

[edit]
The functionf(z)=z¯{\displaystyle f(z)={\bar {z}}} is not complex differentiable at zero, because as shown above, the value off(z)f(0)z0{\displaystyle {\frac {f(z)-f(0)}{z-0}}} varies depending on the direction from which zero is approached. On the real axis only,f{\displaystyle f} equals the functiong(z)=z{\displaystyle g(z)=z} and the limit is1{\displaystyle 1}, while along the imaginary axis only,f{\displaystyle f} equals the different functionh(z)=z{\displaystyle h(z)=-z} and the limit is1{\displaystyle -1}. Other directions yield yet other limits.

Given a complex-valued functionf{\displaystyle f} of a single complex variable, thederivative off{\displaystyle f} at a pointz0{\displaystyle z_{0}} in its domain is defined as thelimit[3]

f(z0)=limzz0f(z)f(z0)zz0.{\displaystyle f'(z_{0})=\lim _{z\to z_{0}}{\frac {f(z)-f(z_{0})}{z-z_{0}}}.}

This is the same definition as for thederivative of areal function, except that all quantities are complex. In particular, the limit is taken as the complex numberz{\displaystyle z} tends toz0{\displaystyle z_{0}}, and this means that the same value is obtained for any sequence of complex values forz{\displaystyle z} that tends toz0{\displaystyle z_{0}}. If the limit exists,f{\displaystyle f} is said to becomplex differentiable atz0{\displaystyle z_{0}}. This concept of complex differentiability shares several properties withreal differentiability: It islinear and obeys theproduct rule,quotient rule, andchain rule.[4]

A function isholomorphic on anopen setU{\displaystyle U} if it iscomplex differentiable atevery point ofU{\displaystyle U}. A functionf{\displaystyle f} isholomorphic at a pointz0{\displaystyle z_{0}} if it is holomorphic on someneighbourhood ofz0{\displaystyle z_{0}}.[5]A function isholomorphic on some non-open setA{\displaystyle A} if it is holomorphic at every point ofA{\displaystyle A}.

A function may be complex differentiable at a point but not holomorphic at this point. For example, the functionf(z)=|z|l2=zz¯{\displaystyle \textstyle f(z)=|z|{\vphantom {l}}^{2}=z{\bar {z}}}is complex differentiable at0{\displaystyle 0}, butis not complex differentiable anywhere else, esp. including in no place close to0{\displaystyle 0} (see the Cauchy–Riemann equations, below). So, it isnot holomorphic at0{\displaystyle 0}.

The relationship between real differentiability and complex differentiability is the following: If a complex functionf(x+iy)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y){\displaystyle f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+i\,v(x,y)} is holomorphic, thenu{\displaystyle u} andv{\displaystyle v} have first partial derivatives with respect tox{\displaystyle x} andy{\displaystyle y}, and satisfy theCauchy–Riemann equations:[6]

ux=vyanduy=vx{\displaystyle {\frac {\partial u}{\partial x}}={\frac {\partial v}{\partial y}}\qquad {\mbox{and}}\qquad {\frac {\partial u}{\partial y}}=-{\frac {\partial v}{\partial x}}\,}

or, equivalently, theWirtinger derivative off{\displaystyle f} with respect toz¯{\displaystyle {\bar {z}}}, thecomplex conjugate ofz{\displaystyle z}, is zero:[7]

fz¯=0,{\displaystyle {\frac {\partial f}{\partial {\bar {z}}}}=0,}

which is to say that, roughly,f{\displaystyle f} is functionally independent fromz¯{\displaystyle {\bar {z}}}, the complex conjugate ofz{\displaystyle z}.

If continuity is not given, the converse is not necessarily true. A simple converse is that ifu{\displaystyle u} andv{\displaystyle v} havecontinuous first partial derivatives and satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equations, thenf{\displaystyle f} is holomorphic. A more satisfying converse, which is much harder to prove, is theLooman–Menchoff theorem: iff{\displaystyle f} is continuous,u{\displaystyle u} andv{\displaystyle v} have first partial derivatives (but not necessarily continuous), and they satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equations, thenf{\displaystyle f} is holomorphic.[8]

Terminology

[edit]

The termholomorphic was introduced in 1875 byCharles Briot andJean-Claude Bouquet, two ofAugustin-Louis Cauchy's students, and derives from the Greekὅλος (hólos) meaning "whole", andμορφή (morphḗ) meaning "form" or "appearance" or "type", in contrast to the termmeromorphic derived fromμέρος (méros) meaning "part". A holomorphic function resembles anentire function ("whole") in adomain of the complex plane while a meromorphic function (defined to mean holomorphic except at certain isolatedpoles), resembles a rational fraction ("part") of entire functions in a domain of the complex plane.[9] Cauchy had instead used the termsynectic.[10]

Today, the term "holomorphic function" is sometimes preferred to "analytic function". An important result in complex analysis is that every holomorphic function is complex analytic, a fact that does not follow obviously from the definitions. The term "analytic" is however also in wide use.

Properties

[edit]

Because complex differentiation is linear and obeys the product, quotient, and chain rules, the sums, products and compositions of holomorphic functions are holomorphic, and the quotient of two holomorphic functions is holomorphic wherever the denominator is not zero.[11] That is, if functionsf{\displaystyle f} andg{\displaystyle g} are holomorphic in a domainU{\displaystyle U}, then so aref+g{\displaystyle f+g},fg{\displaystyle f-g},fg{\displaystyle fg}, andfg{\displaystyle f\circ g}. Furthermore,f/g{\displaystyle f/g} is holomorphic ifg{\displaystyle g} has no zeros inU{\displaystyle U}; otherwise it ismeromorphic.

If one identifiesC{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} } with the realplaneR2{\displaystyle \textstyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}}, then the holomorphic functions coincide with those functions of two real variables with continuous first derivatives which solve theCauchy–Riemann equations, a set of twopartial differential equations.[6]

Every holomorphic function can be separated into its real and imaginary partsf(x+iy)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y){\displaystyle f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+i\,v(x,y)}, and each of these is aharmonic function onR2{\displaystyle \textstyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}} (each satisfiesLaplace's equation2u=2v=0{\displaystyle \textstyle \nabla ^{2}u=\nabla ^{2}v=0}), withv{\displaystyle v} theharmonic conjugate ofu{\displaystyle u}.[12]Conversely, every harmonic functionu(x,y){\displaystyle u(x,y)} on asimply connected domainΩR2{\displaystyle \textstyle \Omega \subset \mathbb {R} ^{2}} is the real part of a holomorphic function: Ifv{\displaystyle v} is the harmonic conjugate ofu{\displaystyle u}, unique up to a constant, thenf(x+iy)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y){\displaystyle f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+i\,v(x,y)} is holomorphic.

Cauchy's integral theorem implies that thecontour integral of every holomorphic function along aloop vanishes:[13]

γf(z)dz=0.{\displaystyle \oint _{\gamma }f(z)\,\mathrm {d} z=0.}

Hereγ{\displaystyle \gamma } is arectifiable path in a simply connectedcomplex domainUC{\displaystyle U\subset \mathbb {C} } whose start point is equal to its end point, andf:UC{\displaystyle f\colon U\to \mathbb {C} } is a holomorphic function.

Cauchy's integral formula states that every function holomorphic inside adisk is completely determined by its values on the disk's boundary.[13] Furthermore: SupposeUC{\displaystyle U\subset \mathbb {C} } is a complex domain,f:UC{\displaystyle f\colon U\to \mathbb {C} } is a holomorphic function and the closed diskD{z:|zz0|r}{\displaystyle D\equiv \{z:|z-z_{0}|\leq r\}} iscompletely contained inU{\displaystyle U}. Letγ{\displaystyle \gamma } be the circle forming theboundary ofD{\displaystyle D}. Then for everya{\displaystyle a} in theinterior ofD{\displaystyle D}:

f(a)=12πiγf(z)zadz{\displaystyle f(a)={\frac {1}{2\pi i}}\oint _{\gamma }{\frac {f(z)}{z-a}}\,\mathrm {d} z}

where the contour integral is takencounter-clockwise.

The derivativef(a){\displaystyle {f'}(a)} can be written as a contour integral[13] usingCauchy's differentiation formula:

f(a)=12πiγf(z)(za)2dz,{\displaystyle f'\!(a)={\frac {1}{2\pi i}}\oint _{\gamma }{\frac {f(z)}{(z-a)^{2}}}\,\mathrm {d} z,}

for any simple loop positively winding once arounda{\displaystyle a}, and

f(a)=limγai2A(γ)γf(z)dz¯,{\displaystyle f'\!(a)=\lim \limits _{\gamma \to a}{\frac {i}{2{\mathcal {A}}(\gamma )}}\oint _{\gamma }f(z)\,\mathrm {d} {\bar {z}},}

forinfinitesimal positive loopsγ{\displaystyle \gamma } arounda{\displaystyle a}.

In regions where the first derivative is not zero, holomorphic functions areconformal: they preserve angles and the shape (but not size) of small figures.[14]

Everyholomorphic function is analytic. That is, a holomorphic functionf{\displaystyle f} has derivatives of every order at each pointa{\displaystyle a} in its domain, and it coincides with its ownTaylor series ata{\displaystyle a} in a neighbourhood ofa{\displaystyle a}. In fact,f{\displaystyle f} coincides with its Taylor series ata{\displaystyle a} in any disk centred at that point and lying within the domain of the function.

From an algebraic point of view, the set of holomorphic functions on an open set is acommutative ring and acomplex vector space. Additionally, the set of holomorphic functions in an open setU{\displaystyle U} is anintegral domainif and only if the open setU{\displaystyle U} is connected.[7] In fact, it is alocally convex topological vector space, with theseminorms being thesuprema oncompact subsets.

From a geometric perspective, a functionf{\displaystyle f} is holomorphic atz0{\displaystyle z_{0}} if and only if itsexterior derivativedf{\displaystyle \mathrm {d} f} in a neighbourhoodU{\displaystyle U} ofz0{\displaystyle z_{0}} is equal tof(z)dz{\displaystyle f'(z)\,\mathrm {d} z} for some continuous functionf{\displaystyle f'}. It follows from

0=d2f=d(fdz)=dfdz{\displaystyle 0=\mathrm {d} ^{2}f=\mathrm {d} (f'\,\mathrm {d} z)=\mathrm {d} f'\wedge \mathrm {d} z}

thatdf{\displaystyle \mathrm {d} f'} is also proportional todz{\displaystyle \mathrm {d} z}, implying that the derivativedf{\displaystyle \mathrm {d} f'} is itself holomorphic and thus thatf{\displaystyle f} is infinitely differentiable. Similarly,d(fdz)=fdzdz=0{\displaystyle \mathrm {d} (f\,\mathrm {d} z)=f'\,\mathrm {d} z\wedge \mathrm {d} z=0} implies that any functionf{\displaystyle f} that is holomorphic on the simply connected regionU{\displaystyle U} is also integrable onU{\displaystyle U}.

(For a pathγ{\displaystyle \gamma } fromz0{\displaystyle z_{0}} toz{\displaystyle z} lying entirely inU{\displaystyle U}, defineFγ(z)=F(0)+γfdz{\displaystyle F_{\gamma }(z)=F(0)+\int _{\gamma }f\,\mathrm {d} z}; in light of theJordan curve theorem and thegeneralized Stokes' theorem,Fγ(z){\displaystyle F_{\gamma }(z)} is independent of the particular choice of pathγ{\displaystyle \gamma }, and thusF(z){\displaystyle F(z)} is a well-defined function onU{\displaystyle U} havingdF=fdz{\displaystyle \mathrm {d} F=f\,\mathrm {d} z} orf=dFdz{\displaystyle f={\frac {\mathrm {d} F}{\mathrm {d} z}}}.)

Examples

[edit]

Allpolynomial functions inz{\displaystyle z} with complexcoefficients areentire functions (holomorphic in the whole complex planeC{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }), and so are theexponential functionexpz{\displaystyle \exp z} and thetrigonometric functionscosz=12(exp(+iz)+exp(iz)){\displaystyle \cos {z}={\tfrac {1}{2}}{\bigl (}\exp(+iz)+\exp(-iz){\bigr )}} andsinz=12i(exp(+iz)exp(iz)){\displaystyle \sin {z}=-{\tfrac {1}{2}}i{\bigl (}\exp(+iz)-\exp(-iz){\bigr )}} (cf.Euler's formula). Theprincipal branch of thecomplex logarithm functionlogz{\displaystyle \log z} is holomorphic on the domainC{zR:z0}{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} \smallsetminus \{z\in \mathbb {R} :z\leq 0\}}. Thesquare root function can be defined aszexp(12logz){\displaystyle {\sqrt {z}}\equiv \exp {\bigl (}{\tfrac {1}{2}}\log z{\bigr )}} and is therefore holomorphic wherever the logarithmlogz{\displaystyle \log z} is. Thereciprocal function1z{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{z}}} is holomorphic onC{0}{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} \smallsetminus \{0\}}. (The reciprocal function, and any otherrational function, ismeromorphic onC{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }.)

As a consequence of theCauchy–Riemann equations, any real-valued holomorphic function must beconstant. Therefore, theabsolute value|z|{\displaystyle |z|}, theargumentargz{\displaystyle \arg z}, thereal partRe(z){\displaystyle \operatorname {Re} (z)} and theimaginary partIm(z){\displaystyle \operatorname {Im} (z)} are not holomorphic. Another typical example of acontinuous function which is not holomorphic is thecomplex conjugatez¯.{\displaystyle {\bar {z}}.} (The complex conjugate isantiholomorphic.)

Several variables

[edit]

The definition of a holomorphic function generalizes to several complex variables in a straightforward way. A functionf:(z1,z2,,zn)f(z1,z2,,zn){\displaystyle f\colon (z_{1},z_{2},\ldots ,z_{n})\mapsto f(z_{1},z_{2},\ldots ,z_{n})} inn{\displaystyle n} complex variables isanalytic at a pointp{\displaystyle p} if there exists a neighbourhood ofp{\displaystyle p} in whichf{\displaystyle f} is equal to a convergent power series inn{\displaystyle n} complex variables;[15]the functionf{\displaystyle f} isholomorphic in an open subsetU{\displaystyle U} ofCn{\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}} if it is analytic at each point inU{\displaystyle U}.Osgood's lemma shows (using the multivariate Cauchy integral formula) that, for a continuous functionf{\displaystyle f}, this is equivalent tof{\displaystyle f} being holomorphic in each variable separately (meaning that if anyn1{\displaystyle n-1} coordinates are fixed, then the restriction off{\displaystyle f} is a holomorphic function of the remaining coordinate). The much deeperHartogs' theorem proves that the continuity assumption is unnecessary:f{\displaystyle f} is holomorphic if and only if it is holomorphic in each variable separately.

More generally, a function of several complex variables that issquare integrable over everycompact subset of its domain is analytic if and only if it satisfies the Cauchy–Riemann equations in the sense of distributions.

Functions of several complex variables are in some basic ways more complicated than functions of a single complex variable. For example, the region of convergence of a power series is not necessarily an open ball; these regions are logarithmically-convexReinhardt domains, the simplest example of which is apolydisk. However, they also come with some fundamental restrictions. Unlike functions of a single complex variable, the possible domains on which there are holomorphic functions that cannot be extended to larger domains are highly limited. Such a set is called adomain of holomorphy.

Acomplex differential(p,0){\displaystyle (p,0)}-formα{\displaystyle \alpha } is holomorphic if and only if its antiholomorphicDolbeault derivative is zero:¯α=0{\displaystyle {\bar {\partial }}\alpha =0}.

Extension to functional analysis

[edit]
Main article:infinite-dimensional holomorphy

The concept of a holomorphic function can be extended to the infinite-dimensional spaces offunctional analysis. For instance, theFréchet orGateaux derivative can be used to define a notion of a holomorphic function on aBanach space over the field of complex numbers.
