Problem 3
Consider a mapping $w = f ( z )$ of a domain $D$ on the complex $z$ plane to a domain $\Delta$ on the complex $w$ plane. Points on the complex $z$ and $w$ planes correspond to complex numbers $z = x + i y$ and $w = u + i v$, respectively. Here, $x , y$, $u$ and $v$ are real numbers, and $i$ is the imaginary unit.

Show the transformed domain on the $w$ plane by drawing the transformed images corresponding to the three half-lines: $x = 0 , x = \frac { \pi } { 2 }$ and $x = c$ at $y \geq 0$ on the $z$ plane.

$$\begin{aligned} & h ( 0 , v ) = 0 \quad ( v \geq 0 ) \\ & h ( u , 0 ) = 1 \quad ( u \geq 1 ) \\ & \frac { \partial h } { \partial v } ( u , 0 ) = 0 \quad ( 0 \leq u \leq 1 ) \end{aligned}$$
