In this paper, a theory of complex-valued functions of a complexvalued argument is presented, which contains some remarkably powerful results which are applicable to a variety of problems, such as the Fourier series expansion.
Abstract
In earlier chapters, complex-valued functions appeared in connection with Fourier series expansions. In this context, while the function assumes complex values, the argument of the function is real-valued. There is a highly developed theory of (complex-valued) functions of a complex-valued argument. This theory contains some remarkably powerful results which are applicable to a variety of problems.

The runup of solitary waves

TL;DR: In this article, an approximate theory is presented for non-breaking waves and an asymptotic result is derived for the maximum runup of solitary waves on plane beaches, and a series of laboratory experiments is described to support the theory.

The elastic contact of a rough surface

A.W. Bush, +2 more
- 01 Nov 1975 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic contact of an isotropically rough surface with a plane is treated by approximating the summits of a random process model by paraboloids with the same principal curvatures and applying the classical Hertzian solution for their deformation.

Heritable genetic variation via mutation-selection balance: Lerch's zeta meets the abdominal bristle.

TL;DR: The mathematical results and underlying biological requirements of the analyses are quite different from those of Lande but the results do not refute his hypothesis that considerable additive genetic variance may be maintained by mutation-selection balance, and it is argued that the validity of this hypothesis can only be determined with additional data and mathematics.

A Course of Modern Analysis

TL;DR: The volume now gives a somewhat exhaustive account of the various ramifications of the subject, which are set out in an attractive manner and should become indispensable, not only as a textbook for advanced students, but as a work of reference to those whose aim is to extend the knowledge of analysis.

Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable

TL;DR: In this paper, the Laurent series is used for expanding functions in Taylor series, and the calculus of residues is used to expand functions in Laurent series volumes II, III, and IV.

Complex Variables and Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, Cauchy-Goursat Theorem 2.1.1 was extended to include the point at infinity and the point of infinity at infinity in the definition of differentiability of analytical functions.
