Problem set: 2

1. Show that the real and imaginary parts of a twice-differentiable function f(z∗) satisfy Laplace’sequation. Show that f(z∗) is nowhere analytic unless it is constant.

2. Let f(z) be analytic in some domain. Show that f(z) is necessarily a constant if either thefunction f(z)∗ is analytic or f(z) assumes only pure imaginary values in the domain.

3. Consider the following complex potential

Ω(z) = − k
