Harmonic Functions

Def. A real – valued function of two real variables is said to be

harmonic in a given domain of the if through that domain it has contains first and
second partial derivatives and satisfies the partial differential equation :
( ) ( )
this equation is called Laplace’s equation .
Def. If two given functions ( ) ( ) are harmonic in a domain and their first partial
derivatives satisfy the . through then we say that is the harmonic conjugate of
Theorem. A function ( ) ( ) ( ) is Analytic in a domain is the
harmonic conjugate of .
