Section 1.7 Exercises 2

Exercises Exercises

1.

Let \(f(z) = (z-1)/(z+1)\text{.}\) Find the image under \(f\) of the following sets:
  1. the real line;
  2. the imaginary axis
  3. the unit circle;
  4. the circle centered a 0 with radius 2;

2.

Is the image of a triangle under a conformal map a triangle? Why or why not? How about on the sphere? (What is a “triangle” on a sphere?)

3.

Let \(f(z) = (z- i)/(z+i)\text{.}\) Find the image under \(f\) of the following sets:
  1. the real line;
  2. the imaginary axis
  3. the unit circle;
  4. the circle centered a 0 with radius 2;
  5. the triangle with vertices \(0, i, 1+i \in \C\text{.}\)

4.

Find a linear fractional transform that takes the unit disk to the right half plane with \(f(0) = 2\text{.}\)

5.

Find a linear fractional transform that takes the unit disk to itself and maps \(1/2\) to \(1/3\text{.}\)

6.

Determine the image of the unit disk under the map \(f(z) = \frac{z+1}{3z + 1}\text{.}\) Where is the image of the real axis? What about the imaginary axis?

7.

Find a conformal map taking the quarter of unit disk in the first quadrant to the entire unit disk. Hint: \(f(z) = z^4\) isn't good enough. Why? Can you do it with a bijective conformal map?

8.

Show that a composition of two linear fractional maps is a linear fractional map.
