Note:
path-connected means arcwise-connected
C^0 means continuous
⊿f=Laplacian=(f)xx+(f)yy
df/dn = grad f . n

2. Relevant material
Green's theorem, line integrals, ...


The Attempt at a Solution


The only part I can finish is part (ii):
(ii) follows from the vector version of Green's theorem

by letting F=grad f

How can I do parts (i) and (iii)?
And provided that I have proved (i), (ii), and (iii), how would these results aid me in proving the actual problem?

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated!https://www.physicsforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I seriously need help with parts (i) and (iii)...
 
Well, I've solved part (i) as well:

Then use squeeze theorem...


And now I am stuck only on part (iii), please help!
 
Provided that I have proved (i), (ii), and (iii), how would these results aid me in proving the actual problem? (i.e. to prove that f is constant on U)
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
