(a) Functions g1(z) and g2(z) are analytic in a connected open set D⊆C with g1=g2 in a non-empty open subset D~⊂D. State the identity theorem.
(b) Let D1 and D2 be connected open sets with D1∩D2=∅. Functions f1(z) and f2(z) are analytic on D1 and D2 respectively with f1=f2 on D1∩D2. Explain briefly what is meant by analytic continuation of f1 and use part (a) to prove that analytic continuation to D2 is unique.
(c) The function F(z) is defined by
F(z)=∫−∞∞(t−z)neitdt
where Imz>0 and n is a positive integer. Use the method of contour deformation to construct the analytic continuation of F(z) into Imz⩽0.
(d) The function G(z) is defined by
G(z)=∫−∞∞(t−z)neitdt
where Imz=0 and n is a positive integer. Prove that G(z) experiences a discontinuity when z crosses the real axis. Determine the value of this discontinuity. Hence, explain why G(z) cannot be used as an analytic continuation of F(z).
