How to find the harmonic conjugate of $v(x,y)=log((x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2)$?












0














So I have found out $$frac{partial v}{partial x} = frac{2x-2}{(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2}, frac{partial v}{partial y} = frac{2y-4}{(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2}.$$



Using the Cauchy Riemann equations, I find:
$$frac{partial u}{partial x} = frac{2y-4}{(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2}, frac{partial u}{partial y} = frac{2-2x}{(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2}.$$



Then I integrate either one of $partial u/partial x$ or $partial u/partial y$ to then differentiate with respect to the other variable I just integrated with. However, when I integrate $partial u/partial x$ or $partial u/partial y$, I get two different functions: $2arctanfrac{(x-1)}{(y-2)} + g(y)$ and $-2arctanfrac{(y-2)}{(x-1)} + g(x)$, respectively.



What am I doing wrong? Can you have multiple harmonic conjuguates?

          You will not be able to find an harmonic conjugate of $v$ since there is none. That is, there is no function $ucolonmathbb{C}setminus{1+2i}longrightarrowmathbb C$ which is an harmonic conjugate of $v$. You will find a proof here.

            No. The fact that $v$ is harmonic only assures that a harmonic conjugate exists localy. But your function is a standard example of function without a global harmonic conjugate.

            For each $(x,y)in D_v$ there is an open ball $B$ centered at that point such that $v|_B$ has a harmonic conjugate; that's the meaning of the fact that locally $v$ has a harmonic conjugate. However, there is no harmonic conjugate of $v$ whose domain is $D_v$; that's what it means that there is no harmonic conjugate globally.

            Actually, $1+2i$ is a bad choice, since $1+2i$ is the only point outside the domain of $v$. There is no global harmonic conjugate of $v$, but there is one near every point of its domain.

          Image
          2 2 I have a Zotero bibliography in Overleaf. I use biblatex . usepackage[backend=biber,citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex} addbibresource{zoteroALH.bib} Bibliography entries look like: @book{de_saint-gervais_uniformization_2016, title = {Uniformization of {Riemann} {Surfaces}}, isbn = {978-3-03719-145-3}, url = {https://www.ems-ph.org/books/book.php?proj_nr=198&srch=series%7Chem}, urldate = {2019-02-03}, author = {de Saint-Gervais, Paul Henri}, year = {2016}, doi = {10.4171/145} } In the bibliography down the paper the reference shows like this: There is the DOI, great, but also the URL which is unnecessary when the DOI is there.

          Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

          Image
          2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account.
