G4: Schwarz reflection principle

Let G ⊆ C be a domain, which is symmetric with respect to the real axis, i.e. z ∈ G ⇔ z̄ ∈ G. Let

G+ := {z ∈ G : Im z > 0}, G− := {z ∈ G : Im z < 0} and G0 := {z ∈ G : Im z = 0}.

Let f : G+ ∪ G0 → C be continuous on G+ ∪ G0 , holomorphic on G+ and f (G0 ) ⊆ R. We define

(
f (z), z ∈ G+ ∪ G0 ,
f˜(z) :=
f (z̄), z ∈ G− .

Show that f˜ is holomorphic on G.
