SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the concept of double conjugate in complex functions, specifically examining the relationship between a function \( f(z) \) and its conjugate \( f^*(z^*) \). It is established that if \( f(z) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y) \), then \( f(z^*) = u(x,-y) + iv(x,-y) \) and consequently \( f^*(z^*) = u(x,-y) - iv(x,-y) \). This confirms that the conjugate operations effectively reverse the imaginary component while maintaining the real component.
