The Harmonic Functions
The Harmonic functions is a Function That satisfy the Laplace equation.In order words the
harmonic function is defined as:
harmonic function is defined as:
"A complex valued function f(z) in a domain D is said to be harmonic if all its
second partial functions are continuous in the domain D and if at each point of D,
f is satisfied.this is represented by the equation
d2udx2+d2udy2=0
similarly
d2vdx2+d2vdy2=0
therefore u and v are harmonic functions.
Now lets take a look at a theorem and proof of the harmonic function.
Now lets take a look at a theorem and proof of the harmonic function.
theorem:
Let f(z)=u+iv be an analytic function, then u and v are both harmonic
functions.
Let f(z)=u+iv be an analytic function, then u and v are both harmonic
functions.
Proof:since f(z)=u+iv is defined as an anlytic function, then by the conditions of
analytic functions we have
dudx=dvdy
dudy=−dvdx
which is the cauchy-riemann equation.
Now differentiate (1) with respect to x.
d2udx2=d2vdxdy
differentiate (2) with respect to x too.
d2udy2=−d2vdxdy
Add (3) and (4)
d2udx2+d2udy2=d2vdxdy−d2vdxdy
hence
d2udx2+d2udy2=0
d2vdx2+d2vdy2=0
Therefore both u and v are harmonic function,where u and v are called conjugate
harmonic functions if u+iv is also analytic function.
