Complex Analysis/Inequalities

Introduction

edit

Inequalities are an essential tool for proving central statements in function theory. Since   does not have a complete/total order, one must rely on the magnitude of functions for estimations.


Inequality for the Sum of Real and Imaginary Parts - IRI

edit

Let   be a piecewise continuous function with  ,  , and  , then we have:

 

Learning Task - IRI

edit

Prove the IRI inequality. The proof is done by decomposing into real part function and imaginary part function, linearity of the integral, and applying the triangle inequality.


Inequality for the Absolute Value in the Integrand - AVI

edit

Let   be a piecewise continuous function, then we have:

 

Proof - AVI

edit

The proof is done by a case distinction with:

  • (AVI-1)  
  • (AVI-2) 

Case - (AVI-1)

edit

Since  , we have  . Since  , we have   and we obtain:

 

Case - (AVI-2)

edit

The integral   is a complex number with  , for which we have with  :

 

Case - (AVI-2) - Step 1

edit

Since  , we have by the linearity of the integral:

 

Case - (AVI-2) - Step 3

edit

Let   and   be a piecewise continuous function with  ,  , and  , then we have by the linearity of the integral:

 

Case - (AVI-2) - Step 4

edit

Since   holds, we have by the above calculation from Step 3 for the real part:

 

Case - (AVI-2) - Step 5

edit

The following real part estimate against the absolute value of a complex number  

 

for   is now applied to the integrand of the above integral  .

Case - (AVI-2) - Step 6

edit

The following estimate is obtained analogously to Step 5 by the linearity of the integral

 

Case - (AVI-2) - Step 7

edit

Since   holds, we have in total the desired estimate:

 

Inequality - Length of Integration Path - LIP

edit

Let   be an integration path and   be a function on the trace of   (i.e.  ). Then we have:

 

where   is the length of the integral.

Proof - LIP

edit

By using the above estimate for the absolute value of the integrand   and the UG-BI inequality, we obtain:

 

Inequality for Estimation Over Integration Paths

edit

Let   be an Integration path and   a continuous function on the trace of   ( ). Then, the following holds:

 

Here,   is the length of the integral.
