Overview of Complex Analysis and Applications

(Dated: February 11, 2019. Updated: June 4, 2019)


This work is an exploration of complex analysis as a tool for physics and engineering. It includes
an overview of the topics in four investigations, previously reported. Results begin and end in real
number theory, but have a path through the complex plane, which influences the result, but remains
hidden. The topics also include the Laplace equation, harmonic functions, subharmonic analysis,
the residue theorem, the Cauchy principle value, conformal mapping, and graphical rendering.

Laplace equation is linear, the superposition of any two
solutions is also a solution [4].

II. APPLICATIONS TO PHYSICS AND


ENGINEERING

In applications to physics and engineering, complex


analysis provides different tools than one would expect,
with further details given in [7].

In engineering, such as electrical and mechanical,


it is a well-known method of finding the time function
by means of its integral transform:

This work finalizes a series of five explorations [4–7],


building a vademecum to researchers in physics and en-
gineering, introducing various topics of complex analysis.

As Edward Titchmarsh √ [8] observed, −1 is a much
simpler concept than 2, which is an irrational number.

There are certainly people that regard
√ 2 as something
perfectly obvious, but sneer at −1. This is because
they think they can visualize the former as something
in physical space, but not the latter. This investigation
aims to √ show the complement: √ one can not really
visualize 2, but one can visualize −1, and apply it in
physics and engineering. One could not do this in the FIG. 2. Example of integral transform. From [3], page 934.
