complex mean-value theorem


Theorem [1] Suppose Ω is an open convex set in , suppose f is a holomorphic functionMathworldPlanetmath f:Ω, and suppose a,b are distinct points in Ω. Then there exist points u,v on Lab (the straight line connecting a and b not containing the endpointsMathworldPlanetmath), such that

{f(b)-f(a)b-a}={f(u)},
{f(b)-f(a)b-a}={f(v)},

where and are the real (http://planetmath.org/RealPart) and imaginary partsMathworldPlanetmath of a complex numberMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath, respectively.
