Homework Statement
Define [itex]f : \mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}[/itex] by
[itex]f(z) = \left <br /> \{ <br /> \begin{array}{11} <br /> |z|^2 \sin (\frac{1}{|z|}), \mbox{when $z \ne 0$}, \\<br /> <br /> 0, \mbox{when z = 0} .<br /> \end{array}<br /> \right.[/itex]
Show that f is complex-differentiable at the origin although the partial derivative [itex]u_x[/itex] is not continuous at origin.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
To show that [itex]f[/itex] is complex differentiable by definition? In other words
[itex]f'(0)[/itex] = [itex]\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}[/itex] [itex]\frac{f(0+h) - f(0)}{h}[/itex] = [itex]\lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(h) - 0}{h}[/itex] = [itex]\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}[/itex] [itex]\frac{|h|^2 \sin(\frac{1}{|h|})}{h}[/itex] = [itex]\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}[/itex] [itex]\frac{h\bar{h} \sin(\frac{1}{|h|})}{h}[/itex] = [itex]0[/itex] ?
Or am I missing something with [itex]\bar{h}[/itex]. Because I'm assuming as h approaches 0, so does [itex]\bar{h}[/itex]
Also, I see that
[itex]u_x(0,0)[/itex] = [itex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}[/itex] [itex]\frac{u(x,0)}{x}[/itex]
A little help here, not sure how to approach this problem.
