grandes-ecoles 2024 Q23 Inequalities and Estimates for Complex Expressions
We propose to show by contradiction the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right).$$ We suppose that $\mathcal{P}$ is false. Show the existence of a sequence of natural integers $(n_{p})_{p \in \mathbb{N}}$ and a sequence of complex numbers $(z_{p})_{p \in \mathbb{N}}$ such that: $$\mathrm{e}^{z_{p}} \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \forall p \in \mathbb{N},\, |z_{p}| = (2n_{p}+1)\pi.$$
grandes-ecoles 2024 Q24 Inequalities and Estimates for Complex Expressions
We suppose that the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right)$$ is false, and let $(n_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$, $(z_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$ be sequences such that $\mathrm{e}^{z_p} \to 1$ and $|z_p| = (2n_p+1)\pi$ for all $p$. For all $p \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote $a_{p} = \operatorname{Re}(z_{p})$ and $b_{p} = \operatorname{Im}(z_{p})$. Show that $a_{p} \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 0$ and $|z_{p}| - |b_{p}| \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 0$.
grandes-ecoles 2024 Q25 Inequalities and Estimates for Complex Expressions
We suppose that the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right)$$ is false, and let $(n_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$, $(z_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$ be sequences such that $\mathrm{e}^{z_p} \to 1$ and $|z_p| = (2n_p+1)\pi$ for all $p$, with $a_p = \operatorname{Re}(z_p)$, $b_p = \operatorname{Im}(z_p)$. For all $p \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote $$\varepsilon_{p} = \begin{cases} +1 & \text{if } b_{p} \geqslant 0 \\ -1 & \text{if } b_{p} < 0 \end{cases}$$ By studying $\exp(z_{p} - \mathrm{i}\varepsilon_{p}|z_{p}|)$, reach a contradiction and conclude that $\mathcal{P}$ is true.
grandes-ecoles 2024 Q26 Contour Integration and Residue Calculus
We denote by $\mathcal{E}$ the set of functions $f : \mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ expandable as a power series with radius of convergence infinity. For all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, we define $$\gamma_{n} : \begin{cases} [0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{C} \\ t \mapsto (2n+1)\pi\, \mathrm{e}^{2\mathrm{i}\pi t} \end{cases}$$ and for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and all $z \in \mathbb{C}$, $$Q_{n}(z) = n! \int_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm{e}^{z\gamma_{n}(t)}}{(\mathrm{e}^{\gamma_{n}(t)} - 1)\gamma_{n}(t)^{n-1}} \,\mathrm{d}t.$$ Show that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $Q_{n} \in \mathcal{E}$.
grandes-ecoles 2024 Q27 Contour Integration and Residue Calculus

Show that $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^{*},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C}, \quad Q_{n}(z+1) - Q_{n}(z) = n z^{n-1}.$$
grandes-ecoles 2024 Q28 Inequalities and Estimates for Complex Expressions

Using the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right),$$ show that there exist two constants $a, b \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*}$ such that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$ and all $z \in \mathbb{C}$, $$|Q_{n}(z)| \leqslant a\,\mathrm{e}^{bn|z|}.$$

kyotsu-test 2015 QCourse2-II-Q2 Solving Polynomial Equations in C
Let us consider the solutions to the equation in the complex number $z$
$$z ^ { 4 } = - 324 \quad \cdots (1)$$
and the solutions to the equation in the complex number $z$
$$z ^ { 4 } = t ^ { 4 } \quad \cdots (2)$$
where $t$ is a positive real number.
(1) To find the solutions to (1), let us set
$$z = r ( \cos \theta + i \sin \theta ) \quad ( r > 0,0 < \theta \leqq 2 \pi )$$
Then
$$z ^ { 4 } = r ^ { \mathbf { M } } ( \cos \mathbf { N } \theta + i \sin \mathbf { N } \theta ) .$$
The values of $r$ and $\theta$ such that this expression is equal to $-324$ are
$$\begin{aligned} & r = \mathbf { O } \sqrt { \mathbf { P } } , \\ & \theta = \frac { \mathbf { Q } } { \mathbf { R } } \pi , \frac { \mathbf { S } } { \mathbf { R } } \pi , \frac { \mathbf { T } } { \mathbf { R } } \pi , \frac { \mathbf { U } } { \mathbf { R } } \pi , \end{aligned}$$
where $\mathbf { Q } < \mathbf { S } < \mathbf { T } < \mathbf { U }$.
(2) There are $\mathbf { V }$ solutions to equation (2), and these solutions are dependent on $t$. Now, consider any one of the solutions to (1) and any one of the solutions to (2), and let $d$ be the distance on the complex number plane between these two solutions. Then, over the interval $0 < t \leqq 4$, the minimum value of $d$ is $\mathbf { W }$ and the maximum value is $\sqrt { \mathbf { X Y } }$.
