What is Complex equation: Definition and 68 Discussions

A complex differential equation is a differential equation whose solutions are functions of a complex variable.
Constructing integrals involves choice of what path to take, which means singularities and branch points of the equation need to be studied. Analytic continuation is used to generate new solutions and this means topological considerations such as monodromy, coverings and connectedness are to be taken into account.
Existence and uniqueness theorems involve the use of majorants and minorants.
Study of rational second order ODEs in the complex plane led to the discovery of new transcendental special functions, which are now known as Painlevé transcendents.
Nevanlinna theory can be used to study complex differential equations. This leads to extensions of Malmquist's theorem.

    How can I solve the complex equation z^6 - 4z^3 + 4 = i?

    The problem says: Find all solutions z of the equation: z^6 - 4z^3 + 4 = i First I factored the equation into (z^3 -2)^2 = i, set w= z^3 -2 and solved w^2 = i for w_1 = sqrt(i) and w_2 = -sqrt(i). I tried setting z^3 - 2 = sqrt(i) and solving but I get stuck there. I really have no idea how...

    Help complex equation cos(z) = -isin(z)

    Homework Statement Let z be a complex number. I want to solve cos(z)= -i*sin(z). The Attempt at a Solution Here's my work: cos(z) = -i*sin(z) implies cos(z) + isin(z) = 0. Therefore exp(i*z) = 0. Now put z= x+iy then i*z = i*(x+iy) = ix - y, hence exp(i*z) = exp(ix-y) =...
