2D plots along the axes and unit circle

On the real axis

The function along the real axis. is real‐valued for all real arguments. At , the function has a discontinuity.

The function along the real axis. The imaginary part vanishes identically on the real axis. The left graphic shows and the right graphic shows .

The absolute value and the argument of along the real axis. The left graphic shows and the right graphic shows . The argument is piecewise constant.

On the real axis at infinity

The function along the real axis. The left graphic shows and the right graphic shows .

The absolute value and the argument of along the real axis. The left graphic shows and the right graphic shows . The argument is piecewise constant.

On the imaginary axes

The real part and the imaginary part of along the imaginary axis. The left graphic shows and the right graphic shows . Along the imaginary axis, is complex valued with a piecewise constant real part, and the imaginary part is asymtotically a decreasing function. At the points , the function has logarithmic singularities.

The absolute value and the argument of along the imaginary axis. The left graphic shows and the right graphic shows . Because is purely imaginary outside the interval , the argument is constant there.

On the imaginary axis at infinity
