The right-hand side has modulus $4$ and argument $\pi /3$. Its square roots have modulus $2$ and arguments $\pi /6$ and $7\pi /6$, giving

The quadratic formula gives $z=-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-1}$. For $-1\le b\le 1$, write this asEach root of a polynomial has modulus $1$, since $b^2+(1-b^2)=1$. As $b$ increases from $-1$ to $1$, the upper root traverses the upper unit semicircle from $1$ to $-1$, and the lower root traverses the lower semicircle in the opposite angular direction. At $b=-1$ the roots coincide at $1$; at $b=1$ they coincide at $-1$. For intermediate $b$ they are complex conjugates.

The factor $1+i$ has modulus $\sqrt{2}$ and principal argument $\pi /4$. Multiplication by $e^{i\pi /6}$ adds $\pi /6$ to its complex argument, while the real factor $1/2$ halves its modulus. HenceTaking the principal logarithm for $w$ givesThis complex number lies in the second quadrant. Its modulus follows from the sum of squared components, and its principal argument follows by the second-quadrant correction:All arguments of this fixed $w$ add integer multiples of $2\pi$ to the displayed one.

If $\ln z$ is interpreted as the multivalued complex logarithm, there is instead a family $w_k=-a+i{b}_k$, where $a=\frac{1}{2}\ln 2>0$ and $b_k=5\pi /12+2\pi k$. Then $|w_k|=\sqrt{a^2+b_k^2}$, and the principal argument is $\pi -\arctan (b_k/a)$ for $b_k>0$, or $-\pi -\arctan (b_k/a)$ for $b_k<0$. This records the logarithm-branch choice that the paper leaves implicit.

The complex conjugate is $z^{\ast }=x-iy$. From the complex sine and cosine identities,Divide these expressions and multiply by the complex conjugate of the denominator. Its squared modulus is ${\cos }^{2}x{\cosh }^{2}y+{\sin }^{2}x{\sinh }^{2}y=(\cos 2x+\cosh 2y)/2$. The numerator simplifies using ${\cosh }^{2}y-{\sinh }^{2}y=1$ and the double-angle formulas. ThusThese expressions apply except at the poles $y=0$, $x=\pi /2+k\pi$ with integer $k$, where the original tangent function is undefined.

With $z=x+iy$, the expression inside the modulus is $x+3i(y-1)$. Squaring its nonnegative modulus therefore givesThe locus is an ellipse in the complex plane, centred at $(0,1)$, with horizontal semiaxis $2$ and vertical semiaxis $2/3$. Its vertices are $(\pm 2,1)$ and $(0,1\pm 2/3)$.

Write $g=u+iv$ and let its constant modulus be $C$. If $C=0$, then $g=0$. For $C>0$, differentiating $u^2+v^2=C^2$ with respect to $x$ and $y$, then applying the Cauchy-Riemann equations, givesThusThe coefficient matrix has determinant $-(u^2+v^2)=-C^2\ne 0$, forcing $u_x=v_x=0$. The Cauchy-Riemann equations then also give $u_y=v_y=0$. Therefore $u,v$ are constant on a connected domain andThis proves the constant-modulus holomorphic function result. If a domain is disconnected, the conclusion applies separately to each connected component.

If $Av=\lambda v$, then $A^{n}v={\lambda }^{n}v$, and the matrix exponential series gives $Uv=e^{\lambda }v$. Also $(I+A{)}^{-1}v=(1+\lambda {)}^{-1}v$, since $1+\lambda \ne 0$. ThusThe assumed diagonalization ensures that these account for all eigenvalues, including multiplicities. In particular, for $\lambda =i\theta$,both of modulus one, in agreement with the unitary matrix property.

For the upper Apollonius circle, let its constant ratio be $P>1$. Matching the center and radius from part (i) givesSubtracting their squares yields $\boxed{b=\sqrt{y_0^2-R^2}}$. AlsoThe relevant inverse hyperbolic cosine is positive. Now $\log |(z+ib)/(z-ib)|$ is the real part of a local holomorphic logarithm, hence a harmonic function away from $z=\pm ib$. The point $ib$ is inside the excluded disk, because $0<y_0-b<R$, while $-ib$ is below the real axis. Thus neither singularity lies in the physical domain.

On $y=0$ the numerator and denominator have equal modulus, so the logarithm is zero. On the circular boundary its value is $\log P=\mathrm{arcosh}(y_0/R)$. Therefore the harmonic potential between a grounded line and a circular boundary isThis verifies Laplace's equation and both prescribed Dirichlet boundary conditions. It also tends to zero at infinity. A uniqueness assertion on this unbounded domain would require an additional boundedness or infinity condition; the displayed function is the natural decaying solution requested.

Write $z=x+iy$ and square the modulus equation. It becomesFor $P\ne 1$, completing the square gives the Apollonius circleHenceThe printed statement needs the exception $\boxed{P=1⟹y=0}$: equal distances from $ib$ and $-ib$ give their perpendicular bisector, a straight line rather than a finite-radius circle. For $P>1$ the center lies in the upper half-plane; this is the case needed in part (ii). The original PDF confirms the numerator $z+ib$, correcting the duplicated, corrupted OCR formula.

The prescribed pole lets us choose $c=4$ and $d=-5-3i$. Write $f(z)=(Az+B)/(4z-5-3i)$. Fixing $1/2$ and $2$ givesso $A=5-3i$ and $B=-4$. ThusIts determinant is $-18\ne 0$, so it is a genuine Möbius transformation. Direct substitution gives $f(1/2)=1/2$, $f(2)=2$, and a pole at $(5+3i)/4$; the numerator at that pole is $9/2\ne 0$.

To identify the image of the unit disc, putThen $|\alpha {|}^2=8/17<1$, $|\lambda |=1$, andIn particular, its pole is outside the closed unit disc. The identityshows $f(D)\subseteq D$. For any $|w|<1$, solve $w=\lambda (z-\alpha )/(1-\overline{\alpha }z)$ to getIts denominator is nonzero, and the same modulus identity for this inverse gives $|z|<1$. Thus $f(D)=D$, and global injectivity of a Möbius transformation proves the required one-to-one correspondence.

The two boundary circles meet at $z=\pm 1$: subtracting their equations gives $\mathrm{Im}z=0$, and either equation then gives $(\mathrm{Re}z{)}^2=1$. Send these points to zero and infinity by the Möbius transformationThe point $-1$ is on the boundary, so $T$ is holomorphic throughout $B$. Write $w=u+iv$. Substituting the inverse gives the exact equivalencesThusThere is no missing point from the inverse here: $w=1$ lies outside this sector. The image is therefore exactly the stated sector, rather than merely a subset of it.

Rotate by $e^{-i\pi /4}$ to obtain the first quadrant, and take the power $2/3$ using its holomorphic logarithm with $0<\arg \zeta <\pi /2$. The required map isHere the principal logarithm works because the expression inside it lies in the first quadrant. It multiplies its argument by $2/3$, giving $0<\arg \Phi <\pi /3$, and maps its modulus $r>0$ to $r^{2/3}$, which ranges over all positive real numbers.

For explicit surjectivity and injectivity, given $\xi$ with $0<\arg \xi <\pi /3$, definewhere ${\xi }^{3/2}$ uses $0<\arg \xi <\pi /3$. Then $\pi /4<\arg w<3\pi /4$, so $w\ne 1$ and $z\in B$, and these are inverse operations. Each stage is holomorphic with nonzero derivative, proving that $\Phi$ is the requested conformal bijection.

The Jacobian matrix at the origin and its characteristic polynomial areThe fixed-point multipliers areBy the Jury stability criterion, both lie strictly inside the unit circle exactly whenThe last condition always holds, since ${\mu }^2+\mu +2=(\mu +1/2{)}^2+7/4$. Therefore the origin is asymptotically stable exactly for $-1<\mu <0$ among the hyperbolic parameter values.

For completeness, its linear stability throughout the parameter line is as follows. When $\mu <-1$, the complex-conjugate Floquet multipliers have modulus $|\mu |>1$, so the origin repels. When $-1<\mu <-1/3$, their modulus is $|\mu |<1$, so it attracts with oscillation. At $\mu =-1/3$ the repeated Floquet multiplier is $1/3$, still attracting. For $-1/3<\mu <0$, both Floquet multipliers are real and in $(0,1)$. For $0<\mu <1$, $p(1)<0$ and $p(0)>0$, so one Floquet multiplier lies in $(0,1)$ and the other exceeds one: the origin is a saddle fixed point of a map. For $\mu >1$, the complex-conjugate Floquet multipliers have modulus $\mu >1$, so it repels.

Possible changes at the unit circle are exhausted by $p(1)=0$, $p(-1)=0$, or a nonreal pair with product one. They giveAt $\mu =0$ the Floquet multipliers are $0,1$; the nonzero fixed point branches in part (a) meet the origin, and part (c) identifies a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation. Indeed at $\mu =0$ the exact restricted map is $y\mapsto y+y^3$, which makes the origin unstable despite its neutral linear direction.

At $\mu =-1$ the Floquet multipliers are $i,-i$: this is a 1:4 strong resonance of a planar map, coinciding with the change from repelling to attracting as $\mu$ increases. A generic nonresonant Neimark–Sacker bifurcation conclusion would be unjustified. At $\mu =1$ there is a double Floquet multiplier $+1$; the matrix has a nontrivial Jordan block, and the two further nonzero fixed point branches meet the origin. Linear stability alone is inconclusive at these unit-modulus boundary values. The repeated Floquet multiplier at $\mu =-1/3$ is strictly inside the unit circle and gives no bifurcation.

As appropriate for a genuine $k$-step linear multistep method, take ${\alpha }_k\ne 0$. Suppose the characteristic polynomial has a polynomial root $\xi$ with modulus $|\xi |>1$. From $\rho (\xi )=0$ and the triangle inequality,Dividing by the positive number $|{\alpha }_k||\xi {|}^{k-1}$ gives $|\xi |\le 1$, a contradiction. HenceThe nonzero leading coefficient matters: if ${\alpha }_k=0$, the assumed inequality forces all the ${\alpha }_j$ to vanish, so $\rho$ is the zero polynomial rather than a characteristic polynomial with $k$ roots. This degenerate case does not define the method in the question.

The power iteration starts from $v_0\ne 0$, normally scaled to unit Euclidean norm, and repeatsNormalization prevents the rapidly growing or decaying magnitudes of $A^k{v}_0$ from obscuring its direction. The iteration requires $w_{k+1}\ne 0$.

Because $A$ is a diagonalizable matrix, choose an eigenbasis $u_1,\dots ,u_n$, with corresponding eigenvalues ${\lambda }_1=\lambda ,{\lambda }_2,\dots ,{\lambda }_n$, and expand $v_0={\sum }_j{c}_j{u}_j$. First suppose the dominant eigenvalue is simple and $c_1\ne 0$. ThenForthe sum in parentheses after $u_1$ is $O(q^k)$ in Big O notation. Consequently the power iteration direction error is $O(q^k)$: the iterates approach the line spanned by $u_1$. For a real matrix, a uniquely dominant eigenvalue is real, since otherwise its complex conjugate would have the same modulus. If $\lambda >0$, $v_k$ approaches one unit eigenvector; if $\lambda <0$, successive $v_k$ alternate signs. In either case,This is the sign and phase in power iteration qualification. Also, the necessary assumption is a nonzero coefficient $c_1$ in the eigenbasis, rather than merely a nonzero ordinary inner product with $u_1$: those tests can differ for a nonsymmetric matrix. If $c_1=0$, the method cannot generate the missing component.

If the dominant value $\lambda$ has a higher-dimensional eigenspace, the same argument replaces $c_1{u}_1$ by the nonzero sum of all starting components in that eigenspace. The limiting direction is then that of this sum, which is still an eigenvector for $\lambda$. The usual algorithm assumes $\lambda \ne 0$; a strict dominance gap guarantees this whenever another eigenvalue is present.

An estimate retaining the sign of $\lambda$ is the Rayleigh quotientContinuity of this quotient at a nonzero eigenvector proves the limit even when $A$ is a nonsymmetric matrix. Alternatively, $(A{v}_k{)}_i/(v_k{)}_i\to \lambda$ for a coordinate whose limiting eigenvector component is nonzero. The scaling factor $\Vert A{v}_k{\Vert }_2$ alone tends only to $|\lambda |$.

Use sinusoidal phasors with physical values $v(t)=\mathrm{Re}(\hat{V}{e}^{j\omega t})$, $i(t)=\mathrm{Re}(\hat{I}{e}^{j\omega t})$, and $j^2=-1$. The complex impedance is $Z=\hat{V}/\hat{I}=X+jY$: its modulus is the voltage-to-current amplitude ratio, and its complex argument is the voltage-minus-current phase difference. Here $X$ is the electrical resistance part and $Y$ the signed electrical reactance; the source's $X,Y$ notation differs from the common $R,X$ notation.

The component laws $v_R=Ri$, $v_L=Ldi/dt$ and $i_C=Cd{v}_C/dt$ give the complex impedances of an ideal resistor, inductor and capacitor:In a series circuit the same electric current flows through both components, so Kirchhoff's voltage law adds their voltage phasors. The resulting series RC impedance isFor positive $R,C,\omega$, the negative phase difference means that electric current leads the applied electric potential difference.

The Born rule uses the squared modulus of the wavefunction, not its real part. Write $\psi =A[\sin x+i(1-\cos x)]$. ThenWavefunction normalization requiresIntegrating the probability density over the required interval gives the dimensionless probabilityThus approximately $9.08\%$ of position measurements fall in this interval.

In sinusoidal steady state, complex impedance is the voltage phasor divided by the current phasor. Its modulus is the amplitude ratio and its argument is the voltage lead. With the $e^{i\omega t}$ convention, $I=dq/dt=i\omega CV$, so $Z_C=1/(i\omega C)$.

The PDF labels $V_1$ across $R_1$, not across the complete driven network. If $I$ is the current through $R_1$, then $V_1=I{R}_1$ and $I=Y_p{V}_2$, whereThe resistor-referenced parallel-resonator response isWriting $b(\omega )=\omega C-1/(\omega L)$,The maximum occurs at ${\omega }_0=1/\sqrt{LC}$, where $|H|=R/R_1$ and the phase is zero. Below resonance the phase is positive, tending to $+\pi /2$; above it the phase is negative, tending to $-\pi /2$. The amplitude tends to zero at both extremes: the inductor shorts the parallel network at low frequency, and the capacitor does so at high frequency. At resonance their reactive currents cancel, leaving only the resistor current.

If instead $V_{\mathrm{in}}$ denotes the voltage across the complete circuit, its different transfer ratio is $V_2/V_{\mathrm{in}}=1/[1+R_1/R+i{R}_{1}b]$, with peak $R/(R+R_1)$. This distinction follows directly from the printed voltage endpoints.

For electric potential difference and electric current varying as sinusoids, choose the phasor conventionThe electrical impedance isIts modulus gives the voltage-to-current amplitude ratio, and its complex argument gives the voltage-minus-current phase difference. For ideal components,These follow from Ohm's law $V=RI$, the capacitor law $I=CdV/dt$, and the inductor law $V=LdI/dt$. In phasor notation a time derivative becomes multiplication by $i\omega$, turning the linear ordinary differential equations of the electrical circuit into algebraic equations. Electrical impedances add in a series circuit; their reciprocals, the electrical admittances, add in a parallel circuit. This computes both amplitudes and phase differences in the steady response to sinusoids.

Classically, a particle with $0<E<V_0$ is completely reflected and never enters the raised region. In quantum mechanics the wavefunction penetrates the classically forbidden side as an evanescent wave. Define the tunnelling decay constantBoundedness at positive infinity excludes $e^{+\kappa x}$, soMatching the wavefunction and its derivative givesThe reflected probability amplitude has unit modulus, hence quantum reflection probability one. The decaying tail carries zero probability current: this semi-infinite potential step has no transmitted beam at infinity, unlike a finite potential barrier. The sketch shows an exact matched example rather than attempting to assign a single real value to a complex wavefunction.

Because the probability density decays as $|C{|}^2{e}^{-2\kappa x}$, the requested $1/e$ penetration distance isFor a proton, take $m_p=1.67262\times 10^{-27}\mathrm{kg}$, $V_0-E=10\mathrm{MeV}=1.60218\times 10^{-12}\mathrm{J}$ and $\hslash =1.05457\times 10^{-34}\mathrm{J}\mathrm{s}$. ThenThe wavefunction amplitude decay length $1/\kappa =1.44\mathrm{fm}$ is twice this value. The nonrelativistic equation supplied in the paper is appropriate for this estimate since $10\mathrm{MeV}$ is small compared with the proton rest energy, approximately $938\mathrm{MeV}$. If the original PDF's unbarred $h$ is instead read literally as the Planck constant, the displayed differential equation gives $d_{\mathrm{literal}}=2\pi d=4.53\mathrm{fm}$. This is a valid calculation for that literal coefficient, but $0.720\mathrm{fm}$ is the physical estimate using the standard Schrödinger equation.

Use physical fields proportional to the real part of $e^{-i\omega t}$. The Drude frequency response isThus the sketch is an even Lorentzian line shape, with maximum ${\sigma }_0^2$ at zero frequency, half that value at $|\omega |={\tau }^{-1}$, and an ${\omega }^{-2}$ tail. The positive-frequency half is shown in the preceding figure. Squaring the modulus differs from plotting either $|\sigma |$ or the real part of $\sigma$.

For a single carrier species, the plasma frequency and electrical conductivity satisfyThereforeThe corresponding relaxation time is $\tau \simeq 3.57\times 10^{-14}\mathrm{s}$. This is an angular frequency; the ordinary frequency is $\boxed{f_{1/2}={\omega }_{1/2}/(2\pi )\simeq 4.46\times 10^{12}\mathrm{Hz}}$. The units of electrical conductivity used in the calculation are ${\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-1}{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$, consistently with the SI plasma-frequency relation.
