Prove the theorem stated just after (10.2) as follows. Let $\phi(u, v)$ be a harmonic function (that is, $\left.\phi \text { satisfies } \partial^{2} \phi / \partial u^{2}+\partial^{2} \phi / \partial v^{2}=0\right) .$ Show that there is then an analytic function $g(w)=\phi(u, v)+i \psi(u, v)$ (see Section 2). Let $w=f(z)=u+i v$ be another analytic function (this is the mapping function). Show that the function $h(z)=g(f(z))$ is analytic. Hint: Show that $h(z)$ has a derivative. (How do you find the derivative of a function of a function, for example, $\ln \sin z ?$ ) Then (by Section 2 ) the real part of $h(z)$ is harmonic. Show that this real part is $\phi(u(x, y), v(x, y))$.

Key Concepts

Mapping Function

A mapping function in this context is an analytic function that transforms one domain in the complex plane into another. Such functions preserve the structure of the domain and carry harmonic functions to other harmonic functions when composed appropriately. They play an essential role in conformal mappings and complex function theory.

Chain Rule in Complex Analysis

The chain rule in complex analysis is used to determine the derivative of a composite function. If one function is analytic and it is composed with another analytic function, the chain rule guarantees that the derivative of the composite function exists and is given by the product of the derivatives of the individual functions. This is fundamental in proving the analyticity of composed functions such as h(z) = g(f(z)).

Harmonic Conjugate and Analytic Extension

A harmonic conjugate of a harmonic function is another harmonic function such that together they form the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function. This means that if a function ? is harmonic, there exists a function ? such that ? + i? is analytic. This construction is crucial because it connects solutions to Laplace's equation with the theory of analytic functions.

Harmonic Function

A harmonic function is a twice continuously differentiable function that satisfies Laplace’s equation, meaning that the sum of its second partial derivatives is zero. This property is fundamental in potential theory and appears in various areas such as physics and complex analysis, ensuring that the function behaves in a smooth and ‘balanced’ way across its domain.

Analytic Function

An analytic (or holomorphic) function is a complex function that is differentiable at every point in an open subset of the complex plane. This differentiability implies that the function can be locally represented by a convergent power series. Analytic functions are central to complex analysis due to their nice properties, such as conformality and the existence of power series expansions.
