In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of deducing analyticity and how it applies to specific functions. The conditions for analyticity, such as satisfying the C-R equations and being infinitely differentiable, are also mentioned. Ultimately, the conclusion is that a function is considered analytic if it satisfies any of these conditions.

What does it mean to deduce analyticity?

Given the function: \(f(z) = z^2 + 5iz + 3 - i\)
  1. The C-R equations are satisfied
  2. It is a polynomial so it is infinitely differentiable
  3. Since it is in \(C^{\infty}\), we know it has a Taylor series about some point \(z_0\).

Is that deducing it analyticity or is it something else?

Additionally, for the function \(f(z) = \sin(2z)\), again, we know that the C-R equations are satisfied and the transcendental sine is \(C^{\infty}\). So let \(z_0\in IOC\) where IOC is interval of convergence. Then a T.S exist about \(z_0\). Would this be deducing \(\sin(2z)\) is analytic.

The 3 conditions you mention are essentially equivalent : if $f(z)$ satisfy at least one of them, all of the others are automatically satisfied and $f(z)$ is called complex analytic.

In this case, the function is polynomial and is infinitely differentiable at all point in $\Bbb C$, hence is analytic.
 

Related to Deduce analyticity of each function

1. What is the definition of analyticity for a function?

Analyticity refers to the property of a function being able to be represented by a convergent power series in its domain. This means that the function can be written as an infinite sum of powers of its variable, where the coefficients of each term in the series can be determined using a specific formula.

2. How can we determine if a function is analytic?

A function is analytic if it has a derivative of all orders at every point in its domain. This means that the function is smooth and has no sharp corners or breaks in its graph. In addition, for a function to be analytic, its derivative must also be continuous at every point in its domain.

3. What are some examples of analytic functions?

Examples of analytic functions include polynomials, trigonometric functions (such as sine and cosine), exponential functions, and logarithmic functions. These functions can be represented by a convergent power series and have derivatives of all orders at every point in their domain.

4. Can a function be partially analytic?

No, a function is either analytic or not. If a function fails to have a derivative of all orders at any point in its domain, it is not considered analytic. However, some functions may be analytic in certain regions of their domain but not in others.

5. How does analyticity relate to the idea of a "smooth" function?

Analyticity is closely related to the concept of a smooth function. A function is considered smooth if it is continuous and has a derivative of all orders at every point in its domain. Similarly, a function is analytic if it has a derivative of all orders at every point in its domain. So, every analytic function is also smooth, but not every smooth function is necessarily analytic.
