(a) Let w = f(z) = 2. Determine the images of the curves Y1 = {x + iy ∈ C | x ≥ 0, y = 0} ∪ {x + iy ∈ C | x = 0, y > 0} and Y2 = {z ∈ C | Im(z) = 0, Re(z) > 0} under the function f.
(b) Let U be the domain between Y1 and Y2. Show that the set f(U) = {f(z) | z ∈ U} is a strip in the w-plane.
Hence, or otherwise, solve the following Dirichlet problem:
vxy = 0 for all x + iy ∈ U,
vxy = 0 for all x + iy ∈ Y1,
vxy = 1 for all x + iy ∈ Y2.
Hint: It is easier to solve the Dirichlet problem in the strip than the half plane when each boundary of the strip is kept constant.
