For a harmonic function of a complex number ##z##, ##F(z)=\frac{1}{z}##, which can be put as ##F(z)=f(z)+g(\bar{z})##and satisfies ##\partial_xg=i\partial_yg##. But this function can also be put as ##F(z)=\frac{\bar{z}}{x^2+y^2}## which does not satisfy that derivative equation! Sorry, I...

Hi! I have problems with this demonstration Let $z= x+iy , x,y \in \mathbb{R} $ then $|x|, |y| \leq{|z|} \leq{\sqrt[ ]{2}} $ , $max \{ |x|, |y| \} $

I understood the holomorphic condition this way. For a vector field F(x1, x2 . . ., xm) = <y1(x1, x2, x3 . . . , xm), y2(x1, x2, x3 . . . , xm), y3(x1, x2, x3 . . . , xm) . . . ,yn(x1, x2, x3 . . . , xm)> In a real analysis, its derivative is expressed as a Jacobian matrix because each...

We should note that we can write any complex number as $\displaystyle \begin{align*} z = r\,\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\,\theta} \end{align*}$ where $\displaystyle \begin{align*} r = \left| z \right| \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \theta = \textrm{arg}\,\left( z \right) + 2\,\pi\,n ...

I am having trouble understanding the relationship between complex- and real-argument associated Legendre polynomials. According to Abramowitz & Stegun, EQ 8.6.6, $$P^\mu_\nu(z)=(z^2-1)^{\mu/2}\cdot\frac{d^\mu P_\nu(z)}{dz^\mu}$$ $$P^\mu_\nu(x)=(-1)^\mu(1-x^2)^{\mu/2}\cdot\frac{d^\mu...

So I know that a complex number can be represented by ##z=x+iy##, where ## z = x + iy \in \mathbb{C}##. Would it be okay to then state that ## z = x + iy \in \mathbb{C} := (x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 ##? If we can just look at complex numbers as coordinates in ##\mathbb{R}^2## what is the point of...
