A directed infinity is a type of infinity in the complex plane that has a defined angle θ but an infinite absolute value r. For example, the limit of 1/x where x is a positive number approaching zero is a directed infinity with angle 0; however, 1/0 is not a directed infinity, but a complex infinity. Some rules for manipulation of directed infinities are:

  • z = z | z | .
  • 0 = 1 z w = z w
  • a z = { z if  a > 0 , z if  a < 0.
  • w z = ( w z )
