Use the Cauchy-Riemann conditions to find out whether the functions in Problems 1.1 to 1.21 are analytic.

z¯

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given functionz¯ is not analytic.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given function is z¯.

02

Concept of Cauchy-Riemann conditions 

For the complex function f(z)=f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y), where u(x,y) is the real part and v(x,y) is the imaginary part, the conditions are

ux=vyandvx=-uy to be analytic.

03

Substitute the value

Substitute z=x+iyin z¯gives:

z¯=x+iy

It is known that, the conjugate of z=x+iyis given by z¯=x+iy. So, the above equation is written as follows:

z¯=x+iy

The above equation is in the form of f(z)=f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y)such that role="math" localid="1653391064229" u(x,y)=xand v(x,y)=-y.

Hence, the real part of the given function isu(x,y)=x and the imaginary part isv(x,y)=-y.

04

Apply Cauchy-Riemann conditions

Substitute the values of uand vin ux=vyand vx=-uyand simplify.

ux=x(x)=1uy=y(y)=0vx=x(-y)=0vy=y(-y)=-1

Here, uxvyand vx=-uy, that is, this function doesn’t satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann condition

Therefore, the given function is not analytic.
