Math 120B – Homework Assignment 4

Due Thursday, May 9


You only need to turn in solutions to the exercises marked with an asterisk. Please show all of your
working.
*1. Show that the transformation w = iz + i maps the half plane x > 0 onto the half plane v > 1.
2. Find a linear transformation that maps the semi-infinite strip x > 0, 0 < y < 2 onto the strip
−1 < u < 1, v > 1. (Answer: w = iz + 1.)
*3. Find and sketch the region onto which the half plane y > 0 is mapped by the transformation
w = (1 + i)z.
For problems 4-5 it may be useful to look at Examples 1-3 in Section 98 of the book (Examples 2-3
are also in the lecture notes, at the end of notes 10).
*4. Show that when c1 < 0, the image of the half plane x < c1 under the transformation w = 1/z
is the interior of a circle. What is the image when c1 = 0?
*5. Show that the image of the half plane y > c2 under the transformation w = 1/z is the interior
of a circle when c2 > 0. Find the image when c2 < 0 and when c2 = 0.
6. Show that when a circle is transformed into a circle under the transformation w = 1/z, the
center of the original circle is never mapped onto the center of the image circle.
*7. By writing z = reiθ , show that the transformation w = z + z1 maps circles r = r0 onto ellipses
with parametric representations

u = r0 + cos θ, v = r0 − sin θ (0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π)
r0 r0
and foci at the points w = ±2. Then show how it follows that this transformation maps the
entire circle |z| = 1 onto the segment −2 ≤ u ≤ 2 of the u axis and the domain outside that
circle onto the rest of the w plane.
*8. Find the linear fractional transformation that maps the points z1 = −i, z2 = 0, z3 = i onto
the points w1 = −1, w2 = i, w3 = 1, respectively. Into what curve is the imaginary axis x = 0
transformed?
*9. Find the linear fractional transformation that maps the points z1 = ∞, z2 = i, z3 = 0 onto
the points w1 = 0, w2 = i, w3 = ∞, respectively. (Answer: w = −1/z.)
10. Find the linear fractional transformation that maps the distinct points z1 , z2 , z3 onto the
points w1 = 0, w2 = 1, w3 = ∞, respectively.
(z − z1 )(z2 − z3 )
Answer: w = . Cf. Section 100, or notes 11.
(z − z3 )(z2 − z3 )
11. A fixed point of a transformation w = f (z) is a point z0 such that f (z0 ) = z0 . Show
that every linear fractional transformation, with the exception of the identity transformation
w = z, has at most two fixed points in the extended complex plane Ĉ.
Comment: This is proved in notes 11.
