Let γ\gamma be a curve (not necessarily closed) in C\mathbb{C} and let [γ][\gamma] denote the image of γ\gamma. Let ϕ:[γ]C\phi:[\gamma] \rightarrow \mathbb{C} be a continuous function and define

f(z)=γϕ(λ)λzdλf(z)=\int_{\gamma} \frac{\phi(\lambda)}{\lambda-z} d \lambda

for zC\[γ]z \in \mathbb{C} \backslash[\gamma]. Show that ff has a power series expansion about every a[γ]a \notin[\gamma].

Using Cauchy's Integral Formula, show that a holomorphic function has complex derivatives of all orders. [Properties of power series may be assumed without proof.] Let ff be a holomorphic function on an open set UU that contains the closed disc Dˉ(a,r)\bar{D}(a, r). Obtain an integral formula for the derivative of ff on the open disc D(a,r)D(a, r) in terms of the values of ff on the boundary of the disc.

Show that if holomorphic functions fnf_{n} on an open set UU converge locally uniformly to a holomorphic function ff on UU, then fnf_{n}^{\prime} converges locally uniformly to ff^{\prime}.

Let D1D_{1} and D2D_{2} be two overlapping closed discs. Let ff be a holomorphic function on some open neighbourhood of D=D1D2D=D_{1} \cap D_{2}. Show that there exist open neighbourhoods UjU_{j} of DjD_{j} and holomorphic functions fjf_{j} on Uj,j=1,2U_{j}, j=1,2, such that f(z)=f1(z)+f2(z)f(z)=f_{1}(z)+f_{2}(z) on U1U2U_{1} \cap U_{2}.
