If ${u(x,y)+v(x,y): z=x+iyin mathbb{C} }$is bounded then $f$ is constant function.

Let $f(z)= u+ iv$ where $u$, $v$ are real and imaginary parts of $f$ respectively and $f$ is entire function. If ${u(x,y)+v(x,y): z=x+iyin mathbb{C} }$is
bounded then function is constant.



Here is what I tried.
Consider$g(z)=f(z)-if(z)=(u+v)-i(u-v)$. Now linear combination of two entire function is entire. So $g(z)$ is entire and real part of $g$ is bounded. So $g$ is constant and hence $f$ is also constant. Am I correct? Thank you

  • This looks good but you need that both the real and imaginary parts of $g$ are bounded so you can say all of $g$ is bounded. Then it follows that $g$ is constant.

Another approach:



We have the identity
$$leftvert e^z right vert=e^{Re z}$$





Let $g(z)=(1-i)f(z)=(1-i)(u(x,y)+iv(x,y))$.



We have
$$|exp g(z)|=leftvert e^{(1-i)f(z)}rightvert=e^{u+v}le e^M$$



Since $e^{g(z)}$ is entire and bounded, by Liouiville’s theorem $$e^{g(z)}=Cimplies g(z)=text{constant}implies f(z)=text{constant}$$



which completes the proof.
