Abstract

This study is on Cauchy's function f(z)f(z) and its integral, J[f(z)](2πi)1Cf(t)dt/(tz)J[f(z)]\equiv (2\pi i)^{-1}\oint_C f(t)dt/(t-z) taken along a closed simple contour CC, in regard to their comprehensive properties over the entire z=x+iyz=x+iy plane consisted of the open domain D+{\cal D}^+ bounded by CC and the open domain D{\cal D}^- outside CC. (i) With f(z)f(z) assumed to be CnC^n (nn times continuously differentiable) zD+\forall z\in {\cal D}^+ and in a neighborhood of CC, f(z)f(z) and its derivatives f(n)(z)f^{(n)}(z) are proved uniformly continuous in the closed domain D+ˉ=[D++C]\bar{{\cal D}^+}=[\cal D^++C]. (ii) Under this new assumption, integral J[f(z)]J[f(z)] and its derivatives Jn[f(z)]=dnJ[f(z)]/dznJ_n[f(z)]=d^n J[f(z)]/dz^n are proved to converge uniformly in D+ˉ\bar{{\cal D}^+}, thereby rendering the integral formula valid over the entire zz-plane. (iii) The same claims (as for f(z)f(z) and J[f(z)]J[f(z)]) are shown extended to hold for the complement function F(z)F(z), defined to be CnzDˉ=[D+C]C^n \forall z\in \bar{{\cal D}^-}=[\cal D^-+C], in Dˉ\bar{{\cal D}^-}. (iv) Further, the singularity distribution of f(z)f(z) in D{\cal D}^- (existing unless f(z)f(z)\equiv const.in the zz-plane) is elucidated by considering the direct problem exemplified with several typical singularities prescribed in D{\cal D}^-. (v) The uniform convergence theorems for f(z)f(z) and F(z)F(z) shown for contour CC of arbitrary shape are adapted to apply to special domains in the upper or lower half zz-planes and those inside and outside the unit circle z=1|z|=1 to achieve the generalized Hilbert transforms for these cases. (vi) Finally, an unsolved inverse problem to determine all the singularities of Cauchy function f(z)f(z) in domain D{\cal D}^- is presented for resolution as a conjecture.
