Continuity of a Complex Function
\vspace{1pt}
Note: In all that follows $f(z)$ is assumed to be a \textit{single-valued}
function unless indicated otherwise.
\vspace{1pt}
Definition: We say\textit{\ }that a complex function $f(z)$ defined in a
domain $D$ \textit{approaches the limit }$A$ \textit{\ as }$z$ \textit{%
approaches a point }$z_{0}$ in $D$ and we write
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\lim_{z\rightarrow z_{0}}f(z)=A$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
or $f(z)\rightarrow A$ as $z\rightarrow z_{0}$ if given any $\in $ $>0$ $%
\exists $ a number $\delta =\delta (\in )$ $>0$ such that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\left| f(z)-A\right| <\in $
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
for all $z$ such that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$0<\left| z-z_{0}\right| <\delta .$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Suppose that in addition $A=f(z_{0})$, so that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\lim_{z\rightarrow z_{0}}f(z)=f(z_{0}).$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Then we say that $f(z)$ is \textit{continuous} \textit{at }$z_{0}.$
\vspace{1pt}
Remark: Thus $f(z)$ is said to be \textit{continuous} at $z_{0}$ if given $%
\in $ $>0$ $\exists $ a number $\delta (\in ,z_{0})>0$ such that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\left| f(z)-f(z_{0})\right| <$ $\in $
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
$\forall $ $z$ such that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\left| z-z_{0}\right| <\delta $
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Geometrically this means that the values of $w=f(z)$ at every point of a
sufficiently small neighborhood $\left| z-z_{0}\right| <\delta $ of the
point $z_{0}$ all lie inside an arbitrarily small neighborhood $\left|
w-w_{0}\right| <\in $ of the point $w_{0}=f(z_{0}).$

Example: The function\qquad $w=z^{n}\qquad (n=1,2,3,\ldots )$
\vspace{1pt}is continuous in the whole finite plane. In fact, setting $%
w_{0}=z_{0}^{n}$ where $z_{0}$ is any finite point, we have
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$w-w_{0}=z^{n}-z_{0}^{n}=(z-z_{0})(z^{n-1}+z^{n-2}z_{0}+\cdots
+z_{0}^{n-1}). $
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
$\Longrightarrow \qquad \left| w-w_{0}\right| =\left| z-z_{0}\right| \left|
z^{n-1}+z^{n-2}z_{0}+\cdots +z_{0}^{n-1}\right| \leq \left| z-z_{0}\right|
(r^{n-1}+r^{n-2}r_{0}+\cdots +r_{0}^{n-1})$
\vspace{1pt}
where $r=\left| z\right| $ and $r_{0}=\left| z_{0}\right| .$ But $\left|
z-z_{0}\right| <\delta $ $\Longrightarrow $
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$r=\left| z\right| =\left| z_{0}+(z-z_{0})\right| \leq \left| z_{0}\right|
+\left| z-z_{0}\right| 0$ $\exists $ a
number $\delta =\delta (\in )$ such that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\left| f(z^{\prime })-f(z^{\prime \prime })\right| <\in $
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
for \textit{all} points $z^{\prime },z^{\prime \prime }$ in $D$ such that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\left| z^{\prime }-z^{\prime \prime }\right| <\delta $
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Remark: Unlike the case of ordinary continuity, it is meaningless to talk
about uniform continuity at a single point $z_{0}$. The key observation here
is that the $\delta $ in the above definition must be \textit{independent}
of the points $z^{\prime }$ and $z^{\prime \prime }$ in $D.$ If $f(z)$ is
uniformly continuous in $D$, then it is certainly continuous in $D.$
However, a function can be continuous in $D$ without being uniformly
continuous in $D.$ In the real case continuity in a closed bounded domain
implies uniform continuity there. We have a similar result in the complex
case.
\vspace{1pt}
Theorem: If $f(z)$ is continuous in a closed bounded domain $\bar{D}$, then
it is uniformly continuous in $\bar{D}.$
\vspace{1pt}
Differentiability
\vspace{1pt}
Definition: A function $w=f(z)$ defined in a domain $D$ is said to be
\textit{differentiable} at a point $z\in D$ if
\begin{center}
$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(z+h)-f(z)}{h}\qquad \qquad (1)$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
exits and its value is \textit{independent }of the way in which $%
h\rightarrow 0.$ This limit is denoted by $f^{\prime }(z)$ or $\frac{dw}{dz}$
and is called the \textit{derivative} of $f(z)$ at the point $z.$
\vspace{1pt}
Remarks: That is, $f(z)$ is differentiable at $z$ if $\exists $ a new number
$f^{\prime }(z)$ associated with the point $z$ in such a way that given an
arbitrary $\in $ $>0$ $\ \exists $ a $\delta (\in ,z)$ such that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\left| \frac{f(z+h)-f(z)}{h}-f^{\prime }(z)\right| <\in $
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
whenever $z+h\in D$ and $\left| h\right| <\delta .$
\vspace{1pt}
Alternative Definition: $f(z)$ is differentiable at $z$ and has derivative $%
f^{\prime }(z)$ there, $\Longleftrightarrow $ for any sequence $\{z_{n}\}$
tending to $z,$ the sequence $\left\{ \frac{f(z_{n})-f(z)}{z_{n}-z}\right\}
\rightarrow f^{\prime }(z).$
\vspace{1pt}
\vspace{1pt}Example: let $f(z)=z^{2}.$ Then $f^{\prime }(z)=2z$ $\forall $ $%
z $ because
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$f^{\prime }(z)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{(z+h)^{2}-z^{2}}{h}%
=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2zh+h^{2}}{h}=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}(2z+h)=2z$
\end{center}
\vspace{1pt}
Remark: Differentiability$\Longrightarrow $continuity. However, the converse
is not true.
\vspace{1pt}
Example: The function $f(z)=\left| z\right| $ is continuous, but it is not
differentiable.
\vspace{1pt}
Consider\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\left|
z+h\right| -\left| z\right| }{h}\qquad \qquad (2)$
\vspace{1pt}
and let $z=r(\cos \theta +i\sin \theta ).$
\vspace{1pt}
For $\theta =\theta _{0},$ a constant, let $h=\rho (\cos \theta _{0}+i\sin
\theta _{0}).$ Then $(2)$ becomes
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\lim_{\rho \rightarrow 0}\frac{r+\rho -r}{\rho (\cos \theta _{0}+i\sin
\theta _{0})}=(\cos \theta _{0}-i\sin \theta _{0})$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
This last expression is clearly \textit{not} independent of the approach to $%
z.$
\vspace{1pt}
Definition: If a complex function $w=f(z)$ is defined and differentiable at
all points of a domain $D$, we say that $f(z)$ is an \textit{analytic (or
regular or holomorphic)} function in $D.$
\vspace{1pt}
Remark: The statement, ``$f(z)$ is an analytic function'' means that $%
\exists $ \textit{some} domain of analyticity.
\vspace{1pt}
Definition: An analytic function is said to be \textit{regular at a point} $%
z_{0}$ if it is regular in a neighborhood $\left| z-z_{0}\right| <\in $ of $%
z_{0}.$
\vspace{1pt}
Example: $f(z)=\left| z\right| ^{2}$ is differentiable at the origin but it
is not regular there, since it is not differentiable anywhere else.
(Homework)
\begin{center}
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Definition: $z_{0}$ is called a \textit{singular point }of $f\left( z\right)
$ if $f\left( z\right) $ is not differentiable at $z_{0}$, but if every
neighborhood of $z_{0}$ contains points at which $f\left( z\right) $ is
differentiable.
\vspace{1pt}
Remark: $z^{n}$ ($n$ a positive integer) is a regular function of $z$ at all
finite points of the complex plane.
\vspace{1pt}
Remark: Given that there is a complete analogy between the definition $(1)$
of the complex derivative and the corresponding formula
\begin{center}
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$f^{\prime }(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
defining the definition of a real function, all of the standard formulae for
derivatives of sums, products, quotients, etc., also hold in the complex
case. Thus if $f(z)$ and $g(z)$ are differentiable at a point $z$ \ and $%
c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ are any complex constants, then so are $c_{1}f(z)\pm
c_{2}g(z),$ $c_{1}f(z)$, $f(z)g\left( z\right) ,$ $f\left( z\right) /g\left(
z\right) ,$ (provided $g\left( z\right) \neq 0),$ and
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\lbrack c_{1}f(z)\pm c_{2}g(z)\rbrack =c_{1}f^{\prime }\left( z\right) \pm
c_{2}g^{\prime }\left( z\right) $
\vspace{1pt}
$\lbrack c_{1}f(z)\rbrack ^{\prime }=c_{1}f^{\prime }\left( z\right) $
\vspace{1pt}
$\lbrack f(z)g\left( z\right) \rbrack ^{\prime }=f^{\prime }\left( z\right)
g(z)+f\left( z\right) g^{\prime }\left( z\right) $
\vspace{1pt}
$\left[ \frac{f(z)}{g\left( z\right) }\right] ^{\prime }=\frac{f^{\prime
}\left( z\right) g\left( z\right) -f\left( z\right) g^{\prime }\left(
z\right) }{g^{2}(z)}\qquad g\left( z\right) \neq 0$
\vspace{1pt}
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Thus every \textit{polynomial} $f\left( z\right) =a_{0}+a_{1}z+\cdots
+a_{n}z^{n}$ \ (where $a_{0},a_{1},\ldots ,a_{n}$ are complex constants) is
regular in the finite complex plane, and every \textit{rational} function
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
\vspace{1pt}$\frac{a_{0}+a_{1}z+\cdots +a_{n}z^{n}}{b_{0}+b_{1}z+\cdots
b_{m}z^{m}}$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
(where the $a^{\prime }s$ and $b^{\prime }s$ are constants) is regular in
the finite complex plane, except at the zeroes of the denominator.
\vspace{1pt}
Example: a zero of the denominator is a singular point of a rational
function.
\vspace{1pt}
Theorem: Suppose $w=g(z)$ is an analytic function in a domain $D$ of the $%
z-plane$, and when $z\in D$ $\ w=g(z)$ lies in a domain $D^{\prime }$ of the
complex $w-plane.$ Also, suppose that $F\lbrack w\rbrack $ is an analytic
function of $w$ in $D^{\prime }.$ Then $f(z)=F\lbrack g\left( z\right)
\rbrack $ is an analytic function of $z$ in $D.$
\vspace{1pt}
In other words, an analytic function of an analytic function is again an
analytic function.
\vspace{1pt}
The derivative of $f\left( z\right) $ is given by the chain rule
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$f^{\prime }\left( z\right) $\vspace{1pt}$=F^{\prime }\left[ w\right]
g^{\prime }\left( z\right) =F^{\prime }\left[ g\left( z\right) \right]
g^{\prime }\left( z\right) $
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Example: If $D$ is $\left| z\right| <1,$ and $w=g\left( z\right) =5z$ then $%
D^{\prime }$ is $\left| w\right| <5.$
If $D:\left| z\right| >0$ and $w=g\left( z\right) =\frac{1}{z}$, then $%
D^{\prime }:\left| w<\infty \right| $
\vspace{1pt}
\subsection{The Cauchy-Riemann Equations}
\vspace{1pt}
Suppose that $f\left( z\right) =f\left( x+iy\right) =u\left( x,y\right)
+iv\left( x,y\right) $ is differentiable at a point $z.$ We shall show that
differentiability implies a simple but characteristic property of $u\left(
x,y\right) $ and $v\left( x,y\right) .$
\vspace{1pt}
Recall that when $f^{\prime }\left( z\right) $ exists then the value of
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$f^{\prime }\left( z\right) =\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f\left( z+h\right)
-f\left( z\right) }{h}$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
is independent of the way in which $h\rightarrow 0.$ Let $h=\Delta x+i\Delta
y$ and consider the difference quotient
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\frac{f\left( z+h\right) -f\left( z\right) }{h}=\frac{\lbrack u(x+\Delta x,%
\text{ }y+\Delta y)+iv(x+\Delta x,\text{ }y+\Delta y)\rbrack -\lbrack
u\left( x,y\right) +iv(x,y)\rbrack }{\Delta x+i\Delta y}.\qquad \qquad (1)$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
We shall let $h=\Delta x+i\Delta y$ go to zero in two different ways:
\vspace{1pt}
1) Let $\Delta y=0,$ $\Delta x>0,$ and $\Delta x\rightarrow 0.$ Then $(1)$
becomes
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\frac{f\left( z+h\right) -f\left( z\right) }{h}=\frac{\lbrack u(x+\Delta
x,y)+iv(x+\Delta x,y)\rbrack -\lbrack u\left( x,y\right) +iv(x,y)\rbrack }{%
\Delta x}=\frac{u\left( x+\Delta x,y\right) -u\left( x,y\right) }{\Delta x}+i%
\frac{v\left( x+\Delta x,y\right) -v\left( x,y\right) }{\Delta x}\qquad (2)$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Since the limit of the left hand side exist and equals $f^{\prime }\left(
z\right) $ then the limit of the right hand side must also exist, and
therefore
\vspace{1pt}
$\lim_{\Delta x\rightarrow 0}\frac{u\left( x+\Delta x,y\right) -u\left(
x,y\right) }{\Delta x}$ exists and $=$ $\func{Re}\lbrack f^{\prime
}(z)\rbrack $ and \ $\lim_{\Delta x\rightarrow 0}\frac{v\left( x+\Delta
x,y\right) -v\left( x,y\right) }{\Delta x}$ also exists and $=\func{Im}%
\lbrack f^{\prime }\left( z\right) \rbrack $. \ Hence $\frac{\partial u}{%
\partial x}$ and $\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}$ exist at $z=x+iy$ and
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$f^{\prime }\left( z\right) =u_{x}+iv_{x}\qquad \qquad (3)$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
2) Let $\Delta x=0,$ $\Delta y>0$ and $\Delta y\rightarrow 0.$ Then $(1)$
becomes
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\frac{f\left( z+h\right) -f\left( z\right) }{h}=\frac{u\left( x,y+i\Delta
y\right) -u\left( x,y\right) }{i\Delta y}+i\frac{v\left( x,y+i\Delta
y\right) -v\left( x,y\right) }{i\Delta y}\qquad \qquad (4)$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Let $\Delta y\rightarrow 0.$ $\Longrightarrow u_{y}$ and $v_{y}$ exist at
the point $z$ and
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$f^{\prime }\left( z\right) =v_{y}-iu_{y}\qquad \qquad (5)$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
From $(3)$ and $\left( 5\right) $ we have that
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$u_{x}=v_{y}\qquad $and\qquad $u_{y}=-v_{x}\qquad \qquad (6)$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
These are called the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
\vspace{1pt}
Theorem: A necessary condition for $f\left( z\right) $ to be differentiable
at $z$ is that the four partial derivatives with respect to $x$ and $y$
exist at $z=x+iy$ and are related there by Equations $(6).$
\vspace{1pt}
Theorem: If $f\left( z\right) $ is regular in a domain $D,$ and its
derivative is zero at all points of $D$, then $f\left( z\right) $ \ equals a
constant in $D.$ Equivalently, Two functions which are regular in the same
domain $D$ \ and whose derivatives coincide at all points of $D$ differ in $%
D $ only by a constant.
\vspace{1pt}
Proof: $f^{\prime }\left( z\right) =0\Longrightarrow
u_{x}=u_{y}=v_{x}=v_{y}=0$ throughout $D.$ Hence $u\left( x,y\right) $ and $%
v\left( x,y\right) $ and thus $f\left( z\right) $ are constant throughout $%
D. $
\vspace{1pt}
Example: $\ f(z)=\func{Re}\lbrack z\rbrack =x.$ here $u=x$ and $v=0$ so that
$u_{x}=1,u_{y}=v_{x}=v_{y}=0.$ Thus the C-R Equations are satisfied nowhere
so that $f(z)=x$ is differentiable nowhere.
\vspace{1pt}
Example: $f(z)=\left| z\right| ^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}.$ Here $u=x^{2}+y^{2}$ and $%
v=0,$ so that $u_{x}=2x,$ $u_{y}=2y$ and $v_{x}=v_{y}=0.$ Therefore the C-R
Equations hold only at the origin. Thus $z=0$ is the only possible point
where $\left| z\right| ^{2}$ might be differentiable. That this is indeed
the case may be determined by a separate computation.
\vspace{1pt}
Remark: Satisfaction of the Cauchy-Riemann equations is a necessary
condition for $f(z)=u+iv$ to be differentiable at a point. however, it is
not sufficient as the example below shows.
\vspace{1pt}
Example: Let $f(z)=\sqrt{\left| xy\right| }.$ The $u=\sqrt{\left| xy\right| }
$ and $v=0.$ Using the definition it is not hard to show that at $(0,0)$ $\
u_{x}=u_{y}=0$, whereas it is obvious that $v_{x}=v_{y}=0$ everywhere$.$
Hence the C-R Equations hold at the origin $z=0.$ However, $f\left( z\right)
$ is not differentiable at $z=0$ \ since the difference quotient
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\frac{f\left( 0+h\right) -f\left( 0\right) }{h}=\frac{f\left( h\right) }{h}=%
\frac{\sqrt{\Delta x\Delta y}}{\Delta x+i\Delta y}$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
for $h=\Delta x+i\Delta y.$ If we let $\Delta x=\alpha r$ and $\Delta
y=\beta r,$ where $\alpha $ and $\beta $ are real and constant, and $r$ is a
real parameter (thus $h\rightarrow 0$ along any straight line), then
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f\left( h\right) }{h}=\lim_{\Delta x,\Delta
y\rightarrow 0}\frac{\sqrt{\Delta x\Delta y}}{\Delta x+i\Delta y}%
=\lim_{r\rightarrow 0}\frac{r\sqrt{\left| \alpha \beta \right| }}{r(\alpha
+i\beta )}=$ $\frac{\sqrt{\left| \alpha \beta \right| }}{(\alpha +i\beta )}$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Hence the limit is not independent of the path of approach, and therefore $%
f(z)$ is not differentiable at $z=0.$
\vspace{1pt}
Theorem: Suppose that the four partial derivatives of first order of $u$ and
$v$ with respect to $x$ and $y$ \ exist and are continuous throughout a
domain $D.$ Then for $f\left( z\right) =u\left( x,y\right) +iv\left(
x,y\right) $ to be regular in $D,$ it is necessary and sufficient that the
Cauchy-Riemann equations $(6)$ hold throughout $D.$
\vspace{1pt}
Proof: Necessity - done.
\vspace{1pt}
Sufficiency: Since $u_{x},$ $u_{y,}$ $v_{x},$ and $v_{y}$ are continuous
throughout $D$, then for $\left( x,y\right) \in D$ and $\left( x+\Delta
x,y+\Delta y\right) $ in a neighborhood of $\left( x,y\right) $ which lies
in $D,$
\vspace{1pt}
$(7)\qquad \left\{
\begin{array}{l}
u(x+\Delta x,y+\Delta y)-u\left( x,y\right) =\left[ u_{x}\left( x,y\right)
+\in _{1}\right] \Delta x+\left[ u_{y}\left( x,y\right) +\in _{2}\right]
\Delta y \\
\\
v(x+\Delta x,y+\Delta y)-v\left( x,y\right) =\left[ v_{x}\left( x,y\right)
+\in _{3}\right] \Delta x+\left[ v_{y}\left( x,y\right) +\in _{4}\right]
\Delta y%
\end{array}
\right. $
\vspace{1pt}
where $\in _{i}=\in _{i}\left( x,y,\Delta x,\Delta y\right) \rightarrow 0$
as $h=\Delta x+i\Delta y\rightarrow 0\qquad (i=1,2,3,4).$
\vspace{1pt}We must show that the limit of
\begin{center}
$\frac{\Delta f}{h}=\frac{f\left( z+h\right) -f(z)}{h}=\frac{u(x+\Delta
x,y+\Delta y)-u\left( x,y\right) }{\Delta x+i\Delta y}+i\frac{v(x+\Delta
x,y+\Delta y)-v\left( x,y\right) }{\Delta x+i\Delta y}$
\end{center}
\vspace{1pt}
exists as $h\rightarrow 0.$ From $(7)$
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\frac{\Delta f}{h}=\frac{\left[ u_{x}\left( x,y\right) +\in _{1}\right]
\Delta x+\left[ u_{y}\left( x,y\right) +\in _{2}\right] \Delta y+i\{\left[
v_{x}\left( x,y\right) +\in _{3}\right] \Delta x+\left[ v_{y}\left(
x,y\right) +\in _{4}\right] \Delta y\}}{\Delta x+i\Delta y}$
\vspace{1pt}
$\frac{\Delta f}{h}=\frac{(u_{x}+iv_{x})\Delta x+i(v_{y}-iu_{y})\Delta y+\in
_{1}\Delta x+\in _{3}\Delta y+i(\in _{2}\Delta y+\in _{4}\Delta y)}{\Delta
x+i\Delta y}$
\vspace{1pt}
$\frac{\Delta f}{h}=\frac{(u_{x}+iv_{x})(\Delta x+i\Delta y)+\in _{1}\Delta
x+\in _{3}\Delta x+i(\in _{2}\Delta y+\in _{4}\Delta y)}{\Delta x+i\Delta y}$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
by the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Thus
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\frac{\Delta f}{h}=(u_{x}+iv_{x})+\frac{\in _{1}\Delta x+\in _{3}\Delta
x+i(\in _{2}\Delta y+\in _{4}\Delta y)}{\Delta x+i\Delta y}$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
But $\left| \in _{1}\Delta x+\in _{3}\Delta x+i(\in _{2}\Delta y+\in
_{4}\Delta y\right| \leq \left| \in _{1}+\in _{3}\right| \left| \Delta
x\right| +\left| \in _{2}+\in _{4}\right| \left| \Delta y\right| $ and
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\frac{|\Delta x|}{\left| \Delta x+i\Delta y\right| }\leq 1\qquad $and $%
\frac{|\Delta y|}{\left| \Delta x+i\Delta y\right| }\leq 1$
\vspace{1pt}
$\left| \frac{\in _{1}\Delta x+\in _{3}\Delta x+i(\in _{2}\Delta y+\in
_{4}\Delta y)}{\Delta x+i\Delta y}\right| \leq \left| \in _{1}\right|
+\left| \in _{2}\right| +\left| \in _{3}\right| +\left| \in _{4}\right|
\rightarrow 0\qquad $as $h\rightarrow 0$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Thus $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\Delta f}{h}=u_{x}+iv_{x}$ \ and is
independent of the method of approach by $h.$
\vspace{1pt}
Note: \ $f^{\prime }(z)=u_{x}+iv_{x}=v_{y}-iu_{y}$ \ by the C-R Equations.
\vspace{1pt}
\subsection{Harmonic Functions}
\vspace{1pt}
If we assume further the existence and continuity in $D$ of the second order
partials derivatives of $u$ and $v$ with respect to $x$ and $y$ (which we
will see later is automatically true), then fro the Cauchy-Riemann Equations
we have
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\frac{\partial ^{2}u}{\partial x^{2}}=\frac{\partial ^{2}v}{\partial
x\partial y}\qquad \frac{\partial ^{2}v}{\partial y\partial x}=-\frac{%
\partial ^{2}u}{\partial y^{2}}$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
$\Longrightarrow \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \frac{\partial ^{2}u}{\partial
x^{2}}+\frac{\partial ^{2}u}{\partial y^{2}}=0\qquad \qquad $and \qquad $%
\frac{\partial ^{2}v}{\partial x^{2}}+\frac{\partial ^{2}v}{\partial y^{2}}%
=0 $
\vspace{1pt}
Thus $u$ and $v$ both satisfy Laplace's equation (or the potential equation)
in two dimensions of the form
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\nabla ^{2}\phi =\phi _{xx}+\phi _{yy}=0$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
Definition: A function that has second order partial derivatives in a domain
$D$ \ and satisfies Laplace's equation in $D$ is called a \textit{harmonic
(or potential)} function.
\vspace{1pt}
Theorem: Let $u(x,y)$ be harmonic in $D$ and let $N(z_{0})$ be any
neighborhood of $z_{0}=x_{0}+iy_{0}$ that is contained in $D.$ Then $u\left(
x,y\right) $ is the real part of an analytic function that is regular in $%
N\left( z_{0}\right) .$
\vspace{1pt}
Proof: See Hille, page 85
\vspace{1pt}
Remark: The three dimensional version of Laplace's equation is
\vspace{1pt}
\begin{center}
$\phi _{xx}+\phi _{yy}+\phi _{zz}=0$
\vspace{1pt}
\end{center}
A solution of this three dimensional equation is called a \textit{%
logarithmic (or Newtonian) potential.}
