harmonic conjugate for the $u(x,y)=x^3 +2xy-4xy^2$












1














If $$u(x,y)=x^3 +2xy-4xy^2$$ find the harmonic conjugate $v(x,y)$ and explain why the function is entire!



So I tried to solve it and that's what I got



$$ux=3x^2+2y-4y^2$$



$$uy=2x-8xy$$



after applying Cauchy-Riemann Equations



$$vy=ux=3x^2+2y-4y^2$$



and after integration



$$v(x,y)=3x^2y+y^2-(4/3) y^3+beta(X)$$



and after trying to solve for $beta$
I found it equal to



$$beta=x^2y-x^2$$



and after applying it to the



$$v(x,y)= 4x^2+y^2=(4/3)y^3-x^2$$



which in obviously is not applying C-R equations if we want to prove the solution is correct and ux is not equal to vy !!!



So does this function is not analytic or entire at all or I am doing something wrong in somewhere!



regards .

  • There are several mistakes in your integration step. You should have had $3x^2 y + y^2 - frac 4 3 y^3 + beta(x)$, so your first and third terms are incorrect.

$u$ is not harmonic because $u_{xx}+u_{yy}neq0$ so it won't have a harmonic conjugate.

The function is not harmonic, so it cannot have a conjugate.



On the other hand, if we fix the example as
$$
u(x,y)=x^3+2xy-color{red}{3}xy^2,
$$

then
begin{alignat}{2}
u_x&=3x^2+2y-3y^2 &qquadqquad u_{xx}&=6x \[4px]
u_y&=2x-6xy & u_{yy}&=-6x
end{alignat}

and this $u$ is harmonic.



The harmonic conjugate $v$ must satisfy
$$
v_x=-u_y qquadqquad v_y=u_x
$$

Thus
$$
v_x=-2x+6xy qquadqquad v_y=3x^2+2y-3y^2
$$

Hence
$$
v=-x^2+3x^2y+f(y)
$$

and
$$
v_y=3x^2+beta'(y)
$$

that gives $beta'(y)=2y-3y^2$, so $beta(y)=y^2-y^3$ (plus an arbitrary constant).



Hence
$$
v(x,y)=-x^2+3x^2y+y^2-y^3.
$$



You can show that
$$
f(z)=f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y)=z^3-iz^2
$$

You can show that
