CHAPTER 1
BASIC DEFINITIONS
1.1 COMPLEX NUMBERS
Natural numbers are the counting numbers 1, 2, 3, ... .
Negative integers are the numbers–1,–2,–3, ... .
Intergers are the natural numbers, negative integers, and zero.
Fractions, or rational numbers, are ratios of integers, 1/2, 7/8, —5/6, or generally, m/n, for n ≠ 0.
Irrational numbers are those that are not rational, such as √2, π, e,√π, etc.
Real numbers are all the rational and irrational numbers.
The imaginary unit or complex unit i is defined by
(1.1)
Complex numbers are of the form
(1.2)
with x, y real; x is the real part of z, and y, the imaginary part,
(1.3)
Examples are 1 + 2i, —3i, 0 ,√2 + 7i, etc.
The complex conjugate z– of z is
(1.4)
1.2 ARITHMETIC OF THE COMPLEX NUMBERS
For z1 = x1 + iy1, z2 = x2 + iy2 we define:
Addition: Their sum is
(1.5)
Subtraction: Their difference is
(1.6)
Multiplication: Their product is
(1.7)
A special case is the product of a number by its complex conjugate
(1.8)
which is always a positive number, vanishing only when z = 0. For z2, ≠ 0 we define division by the quotient (1.9)
(1.9)
In terms of real and imaginary parts,
A special case is the reciprocal, or multiplicative inverse of the number z ≠ 0,
(1.10)
1.3 COMMUTATIVITY, ASSOCIATIVITY, AND DISTRIBUTIVITY
Addition and multiplication are commutative; for any z1, z2,
(1.11)
(1.12)
Addition and multiplication are associative: for any z1,z2, z3,
(1.13)
(1.14)
Multiplication is distributive with respect to addition (distributivity),
(1.15)
for any z1, z2, z3.
1.4 THE COMPLEX PLANE
There is a one-to-one correspondence between the complex numbers z = x +iy and the points (x,y) of the x - y plane (Figure 1.1).
Fig 1.1 Correspondence between numbers z = x + iy and points (x,y)
10. The complex plane or Argand diagram is the x, y plane viewed as the plane of the complex numbers z = x + iy.
11. The x and y - axes of the complex plane are called the real and imaginary axes.
The parallelogram law states that z1 + z2 is the fourth corner of a parallelogram defined by the origin z = 0 and the end points z1, z2 (Figure 1.2).
Fig 1.2Parallelogram Law
of z is the reflection of z in the real axis (Figure 1.3).
Figure 1.3The Complex Conjugate; Reflection Across the Real Axis
A real multiple cz of a complex number z is represented by a point on the line from the origin z = 0 to z; if c > 0 then it lies on the same side of the origin; if c < 0 it lies on the opposite side (Figure 1.4).
Fig 1.4ac zforc> 0
Fig 1.4bc zforc< 0
1.5 THE MODULUS OF z
12. The modulus or absolute value of z = x + iy, denoted by mod z or |z | is
(1.16)
The modulus obeys the usual rules of the absolute value of real numbers, including the product relation
(1.17)
and the triangle inequality (Figure 1.5)
(1.18)
Figure 1.5The Triangle Inequality, |z1+z2| ≤ |z1| + |z2|
with equality holding only if z1 is a real multiple of z2.
The triangle inequality holds for the sum of any number of values,
(1.19)
|z | is the distance from z to the origin (Figure 1.6).
Figure 1.6The modulus is the distance to the origin.
|z1 — z2 | is the distance between the points z1,z2 (Figure 1.7).
Fig 1.7|z1—z2| is the distance betweenz1, z2.
An important implication of the triangle inequality is the inequality (Figure 1.8)
(1.20)
