Math Problem Statement

Give an example of a function f(z) that is analytic in a region, bounded throughout the complex plane but is not a constant function. Does this contradict the Liouville’s theorem? Explain.

Solution

To find a function f(z)f(z) that is analytic in a region, bounded throughout the complex plane, but is not a constant function, we can use the following example:

f(z)=11+z2f(z) = \frac{1}{1+z^2}

Let's analyze this function:

  1. Analytic in a Region:
    • The function f(z)=11+z2f(z) = \frac{1}{1+z^2} is analytic wherever the denominator is not zero.
    • The denominator 1+z2=01+z^2 = 0 when z=±iz = \pm i (where ii is the imaginary unit).
    • Therefore, ( f(z
