Let g:CCg: \mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C} be a continuous function such that

Γg(z)dz=0\int_{\Gamma} g(z) d z=0

for any closed curve Γ\Gamma which is the boundary of a rectangle in C\mathbb{C} with sides parallel to the real and imaginary axes. Prove that gg is analytic.

Let f:CCf: \mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C} be continuous. Suppose in addition that ff is analytic at every point zCz \in \mathbb{C} with non-zero imaginary part. Show that ff is analytic at every point in C.\mathbb{C} .

Let H\mathbb{H} be the upper half-plane of complex numbers zz with positive imaginary part (z)>0\Im(z)>0. Consider a continuous function F:HRCF: \mathbb{H} \cup \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{C} such that FF is analytic on H\mathbb{H} and F(R)RF(\mathbb{R}) \subset \mathbb{R}. Define f:CCf: \mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C} by

f(z)={F(z) if (z)0F(zˉ) if (z)0f(z)= \begin{cases}F(z) & \text { if } \Im(z) \geqslant 0 \\ \overline{F(\bar{z})} & \text { if } \Im(z) \leqslant 0\end{cases}

Show that ff is analytic.
