Throughout CR will denote the circle of radius R around origin, oriented counterclockwise.

Find f 0 (1 + i)
5. Using Liouville’s theorem, conclude that sin z, cos z are not bounded functions.
6. (T)Suppose that f = u + iv is an entire function and |f (z)| < |z|n for some n ≥ 0 and
for all sufficiently large |z|. Show that f is a polynomial.
9. (T)Let τ be a complex number which is not real. Suppose that f is an entire function
such that f (z + 1) = f (z) and f (z + τ ) = f (z). Then show that f is a constant. (This
exercise says that a doubly periodic entire function is constant.)
10. Let f be an entire function satisfying |f (z)| ≥ 1 for all z ∈ C. Show that f is constant.
11. (T)Suppose that f : D → C is anlytic on unit disc D = {z : |z| < 1}. Show that
|f 0 (0)| ≤ d/2, where d = sup |f (z) − f (w)| is the diameter of the image of f.

(b) Use (a) to show that |f (a)|n ≤ LM n /(2πD) where D is the distance of a from C,
L is the length of C and M is the maximum value of |f (z)| on C.
(c) Use (b) to show that |f (a)| ≤ M . In other words, the maximum value of |f (z)| is
obtained on the boundary. This result is known as Maximum Modulus Principle.
(d) The maximum modulus value of f (z) = 1/z on unit circle is 1, yet |f (1/2)| = 2.
Expalin why this does not contradict (c).
