Proving an integral formula containing the Poisson kernel












2














Specifically, the question is as follows:




Let $mathbb{D}$ be the open unit disk in $mathbb{C}$ and suppose that $f:bar{mathbb{D}}rightarrowmathbb{C}$ is a continuous function such that both $Re f$ and $Im f$ are harmonic.



(a) Show that
$$f(re^{itheta})=frac{1}{2pi}int_{-pi}^pi f(e^{it})P_r(theta-t)dt$$
for all $re^{itheta}$ in $mathbb{D}$.



(b) Show that $f$ is holomorphic in $mathbb{D}$ if and only if
$$int_{-pi}^pi f(e^{it})e^{int}dt=0$$
for all $ngeq1$.




I believe (a) is a direct consequence of Poisson's representation theorem for harmonic functions, stated as follows:



Let $mathbb{D}$ be the open unit disk and $f:partialmathbb{D}rightarrowmathbb{R}$ be continuous. Then there exists a continuous function $u:bar{mathbb{D}}rightarrowmathbb{R}$ such that $u(z)=f(z)$ if $zinpartialmathbb{D}$, $u$ is harmonic on $mathbb{D}$, and $u(re^{itheta})=frac{1}{2pi}int_{-pi}^pi P_r(theta-t)f(e^{it})dt$ and $u$ is unique.



It seems to me that this can just be applied to the real and imaginary parts of the function $f$ from the question to derive the desired result, but maybe I'm making a careless mistake?



For (b), it's not obvious to me how part (a) assists in the solution. This is a homework question, so I am looking for assistance with understanding it, but not a full solution. Thanks.

          Poisson's representation formula here assumes only a function on the boundary. Also, one does not know the relationship between $u:bar{mathbb{D}}rightarrowmathbb{R}$ from the theorem and $f:bar{mathbb{D}}rightarrowmathbb{R}$ from the question (unless the proof of the theorem is constructive, then maybe you can deduce it), so you cannot use it like this here.



          Hint for (a):




          Prove it first for holomorphic functions $g$, then use that $Re f$ is the real part of some holomorphic function $g$. Same for $Im f$.




          Hint for (b):




          Letting $rto 1$, we have for $tneq 0$ that $P_rto 0$. Now use the identity theorem.

          • Thank you for the advice. So for (a), using the representation formula, since $mathbb{D}$ is simply connected, $u=Re(g)$ where $gin H(mathbb{D})$, so $g(z)=frac{1}{2pi}int_{-pi}^pifrac{e^{it}+z}{e^{it}-z}f(e^{it})dt$ (where $f$ is from the representation formula). But this isn't quite the desired result. Should I not be trying to use the representation formula at all?

          up vote 62 down vote favorite 19 I just watched Stephan T. Lavavej talk at CppCon 2018 on "Class Template Argument Deduction", where at some point he incidentally says: In C++ type information almost never flows backwards ... I had to say "almost" because there's one or two cases, possibly more but very few . Despite trying to figure out which cases he might be referring to, I couldn't come up with anything. Hence the question: In which cases the C++17 standard mandates that type information propagate backwards? c++ language-lawyer c++17 share | improve this question edited 7 hours ago scohe0
