Integrals of the function f(z) = e^(1/z) (complex analysis)

In summary, the integration of the function e^(1/z) in the multiply connected domain {Rez>0}∖{2} is path independent. This is because integrals of e^(1/z) exist everywhere in the domain and are not affected by the exclusion of the point 2. However, the function given by f(z)=0 for Re(z)≤0 and f(z)=e^(-1/z) for Re(z)>0 is ℂ∞ in the whole complex plane, but not analytic. This is due to the construction of the Laurent series in this domain.

How do you integrate f(z) = e^(1/z) in the multiply connected domain {Rez>0}∖{2}

It seems like integrals of this function are path independent in this domain since integrals of e^(1/z) exist everywhere in teh domain {Rez>0}∖{2}. Is that correct?

I agree.
Where is the point in excluding that point, by the way? It is not special.

I seem to remember that the function given by f(z)=0 for Re(z)≤0 and [itex]f(z)=e^{-\frac{1}{z}} [/itex] for Re(z)>0 is ℂ in the whole complex plane, but not analytic...

Why?
The Laurent series is easy to construct here.

Sorry, that should be C.
 

FAQ: Integrals of the function f(z) = e^(1/z) (complex analysis)

What is a complex integral?

A complex integral is the process of calculating the area under a curve on a complex plane. It involves evaluating the function at different points and adding them up to find the total area.

How is the integral of a complex function different from a real function?

The integral of a complex function involves integrating over a complex plane, which includes both real and imaginary values. This means that the path of integration can be more complex and may require additional techniques, such as contour integration, to solve.

What is the Cauchy Integral Theorem?

The Cauchy Integral Theorem states that the integral of a function around a closed path on a complex plane is equal to the sum of the function's values at all points inside the path. This theorem is important in complex analysis and is used to evaluate complex integrals.

How do you calculate the integral of a function with singularities?

To calculate the integral of a function with singularities, such as the function f(z) = e^(1/z), we use the Cauchy Residue Theorem. This involves finding the residues, or the values of the function at the singularities, and using them to calculate the integral.

What are some applications of complex integrals?

Complex integrals have many applications in physics, engineering, and mathematics. They are used to calculate quantities such as electromagnetic fields, fluid dynamics, and probability distributions. They are also important in solving differential equations and evaluating complex functions.
