This is because the function f(z) transforms the points on the line and the curve to form a new shape that is bounded by the transformed line and curve. This is the picture of f(D^+).In summary, the conversation discusses the set D^+ which represents the northern hemisphere of a circle with radius 1. The goal is to find the picture of f(D^+), where f(z) is a function that transforms points on the line and curve. After solving for the points on the line and curve, it is determined that the set of f(D^+) is the area between the transformed line and curve, as shown in the professor's diagram.

\(\displaystyle D^+=\left \{z:|z|<1,Im \left \{ z \right \}>0 \right \}\)
so it represents the northen hemisphere of a circle with radius 1.
\(\displaystyle f(z)=\frac{2z-i}{2-iz}\)
i need to find what is the picture of \(\displaystyle f(d^+)=? \)

i tried to solve it like this:
my area is bounded by a line and a curve.
i want to see what each one transforms to
curve points:
f(1)=1
f(-1)=-1
f(i)=i/3
so it will look like this

line points:
f(1)=1
f(-1)=-1
f(0)=-i/2
so it looks like this

and when i try and see where the inside goes :
f(i/2)=0
so the answer represents their intersection area

but my prof thinks otherwise

who is worng here? why?
so its in their intersections

is the set of f(D^+), since the line and the curve intersect at the point (0, -1/2). The set of f(D^+) is the area between the line and the curve, as shown in your professor's diagram.
 

FAQ: What Is the Image of the Upper Half-Disk Under This Mobius Transformation?

What is a Mobius transform?

A Mobius transform is a mathematical function that maps points from one complex plane to another. It is also known as a Mobius transformation or a conformal map.

What is the general form of a Mobius transform?

The general form of a Mobius transform is f(z) = (az + b) / (cz + d), where z is a complex number and a, b, c, and d are complex coefficients. This can also be written as f(z) = (az + b) / (cz + d) + i(az - b) / (cz + d), where i is the imaginary unit.

What is the significance of a Mobius transform?

A Mobius transform has many applications in mathematics and physics, including in complex analysis, geometry, and dynamical systems. It is particularly useful for studying the properties of circles, lines, and other geometric shapes in the complex plane.

How is a Mobius transform different from other transformations?

A Mobius transform is unique in that it preserves angles and circles. This means that a circle in one complex plane will be transformed into another circle in the other complex plane, and the angles between lines will remain the same. Other transformations, such as translations and rotations, do not have this property.

What are some real-world applications of Mobius transforms?

Mobius transforms have been used in a variety of fields, including computer graphics, image processing, and robotics. They are also used in the study of fractals and chaotic systems. In physics, Mobius transforms have been used to model the behavior of fluids and particles in motion, as well as in the theory of relativity.
