Complex Differentiation
1) Suppose that an analytic function f defined on the whole of C satisfies Re(f(z))=0 for all z in C. Show that f is constant.
2i) Verify that u=x2-y2-y is harmonic in the whole complex plane.
2ii) Suppose f(x,y)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y). The Cauchy-Riemann equation state that: ux=vy and uy=-vx. For u=x2-y2-y compute ux and uy and use the Cauchy-Riemann equations to find v. The function v is called a conjugate harmonic function for u.
