Introduction to Conformal Mapping
Complex Plane

A complex number z = x + iy is
represented by a point P(x, y). The
x-axis is the real axis, and the y-axis
is the imaginary axis. The plane is Transformation
the z-plane, complex plane, or For every point (x, y) in the z-plane,
Argand plane. w = f(z) defines a corresponding
point (u, v) in the w-plane. This is a
"transformation" or mapping of the
z-plane into the w-plane.

intersection at P in the
z-plane is the same as
the angle of
intersection at P' in the
w-plane in magnitude
and sense, the
transformation is
conformal at P.
Analytic Function
If f(z) is analytic in a region D of the z-plane and f'(z) ≠
0 in D, then the mapping w = f(z) is conformal at all
points of D.
Standard Transformations: Translation
Mapping
w = z + c, where c is a complex constant. If z = x + iy, w = u + iv, and
c = c1 + ic2, then w = z + c implies u + iv = (x + c1) + i(y + c2).
Components
Comparing real and imaginary parts, we get u = x + c1 and v = y + c2.

Result
The transformation is a translation of the axes, preserving shape and size.
Standard Transformations: Rotation
and Magnification
Polar Form

Cartesian Form

Result
The transformation maps P(r, θ) to P'(ρr, θ + α),
consisting of magnification by ρ = |c| and rotation
by angle α.

Bilinear Transformations

Definition

1 w = f(z) = (az+b)/(cz+d), ad - bc ≠ 0, where a, b, c, d are complex constants.

Conformal
2 Bilinear transformation is conformal since dw/dz = (ad - bc)/(cz + d)^2 ≠ 0.

Inverse
3 The inverse mapping is f^(-1)(w) = z = (-dw + b)/(cw - a), also
a bilinear transformation.
