is the given function differentiable at origin












0












$begingroup$


it is given that f(z) = Im(z^2)/(z bar) when zis not equal to 0 and f(z) =0 when z=0



so when i find the limit of f(z) it depends on a parameter m
so limit doesnot exist uniquely and hence the given function is not differentiable at origin



but when i tried to find its limit by polar coordinates then its limit came out to b 0



i.e x=r cos theta and y = r sin theta
then



f(r, thetha) = (sin2 theta) r exp(i theta)



on putting limit r tends to 0 we get
zero



my query is that if the function is not differentiable at origin then whatever approach we apply its limit should not exist uniquely or finitely
but here wen i try to solve it by polar approach i m getting 0 ie unqiue and finite limit
& on the other hand by previous method i found that it depend on parameter m



is there any mistake i am making while solving it by latter method ? please solve

          I'm a little confused about what you're trying to prove. Your calculation with polar coordinates shows correctly that $lim_{zrightarrow 0} fleft(zright) = 0$ . But this merely establishes that $f$ is continuous at $z = 0$, not that it's differentiable there. To determine whether it's differentiable you need to establish what happens to $frac{fleft(zright) - fleft(0right)}{z - 0} = frac{fleft(zright)}{z}$ as $zrightarrow 0$ .



          If you divide your expression for $fleft(zright)$ in terms of polar coordinates by $z = r e^{itheta}$ you're left with $sinleft(2thetaright)$ , independent of $r .$ This is equal to $1$ for $theta = frac{pi}{4}$ and $0$ for $theta = 0$, so there are values of $z$ arbitrarily close to $0$ for which $frac{fleft(zright)}{z} = 1$ and others for which $frac{fleft(zright)}{z} = 0$. It therefore can't have a limit as $zrightarrow 0$ , and consequently $f$ is not differentiable at $z= 0$ .

          The limit does not depend on a parameter !



          Since $|Im(z^2)| le |z|^2=|z|^2$, we get



          $|f(z)| le |z|$ for all $z $.
