Finding the Expression for v Using Partial Integration

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the expression for the function v in the context of analytic functions, where the real part u is given as u=(3x^2) -(3y^2). Participants are exploring the relationships between the partial derivatives of u and v as defined by the Cauchy-Riemann equations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the application of partial derivatives and integration in relation to the Cauchy-Riemann equations. There is a focus on whether the integration was performed correctly in the book compared to the original poster's approach.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided guidance on the integration process, suggesting that the book may have made an error in its approach. There is an ongoing examination of the correctness of different methods presented.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the terminology of "partial integration" and its application in this context, indicating a potential gap in understanding. The original poster references external sources to validate their approach.

Homework Statement


For an analytic function, f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y),u is given by u=(3x^2) -(3y^2). The expression for v, considering K to be a constant is?

Homework Equations


δu/δx=δv/δy
δu/δy=-δv/δx

[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution



My attempt :-
u=(3x^2) -(3y^2)

δu/δx=6x & δu/δy=-6y...(1)

From Relevant equations,

δu/δx=δv/δy

From (1)
6x=δv/δy

δv=∫6x δy

v=6xy+f(x)

From Relevant equations,

δu/δy=-δv/δx

From (1)
-6y=-δv/δx

-6y=-[δ/δx(6xy+f(x)]

6y=6y+f'(x)

f'(x)=0

Integrating,

f(x)=0+K

∴v=6xy+0+K

v=6xy+K[/B]

I know Partial derivative but never heard about Partial integration so first time came across this type of problem.
I checked the procedure on Internet and try to solve according to that.
In book they may have solved it wrong.
In picture on right side of red line I solved the problem according to Internet procedures and I got the same answer as book. But in book the (6x) should be partially integrate with respect to y by mistake they may have integrated with respect to x.
Which one is correct in picture solved by book or by me?

Do not post images---especially sideways ones. Just type out the solution (which is the PF standard!)

You should not expect people to lie down sideways on their desks in order to read your pictures.

Sorry I was on mobile. I'll edit it soon :)
 
Edited :)

You are correct. Clearly, the book integrated part i) wrong.
