- Show that each of the following functions is harmonic in some domain,
then determine the corresponding harmonic conjugate and f(z) = u+iv
as a function of z.
(a) u = x^4 - 6x^2 y^2 + y^4
(b) v = 4x^3 y - 4xy^3 + 2xy ·
x
(c) u -- x2 + y2
( d) v = Arctan '#..
x
(e) u = e"'(xcosy - ysiny)
(f) v = e-"'(ycosy - xsiny)
(g) u = sin x cosh y
- (a) Given u = aox^3 + a 1 x^2 y + a 2 xy^2 + aay^3 , find conditions on the
coefficients so that u be harmonic in <C. Compute the harmonic
conjugate v and the corresponding analytic function f = u +iv.
(b) Determine a, b, c, d so that
w = x^2 +.axy + by^2 + i(cx^2 + dxy + y^2 )
be analytic in <C. Express w in terms of z.
- Suppose that 1/J = 1/J(x, y) has continuous partial derivatives up to the
second order in a region G. Show that

- (a) Let f E 'D(A), A open. Show that
fz = fz, f z = fz, d] = df
(b) If w = f ( z) is monogenic at z, show that
~~ = f1(z)
( c) Show that the Cauchy-Riemann equations are equivalent to the
equation Uz = ivz or, alternatively, to the equation Uz = -ivz.
( d) Let f = u +iv, where u and v have continuous partial derivatives
of the first two orders in some open set A. Show that
fzz =^1 / 4 (V^2 u + iV^2 v)
and deduce that· f zz = 0 in A if both u and v are harmonic in A
( v not necessarily a harmonic conjugate of u ).
*(e) Suppose that f E 'D(A) and g E D(B), A, B open, B ::J f(A), and
let ( = f(z), w = g((), so that w = (gof)(z) = g(f(z)). Prove that
