Abstract

In polar coordinates \(z=re^{i\theta }\) we have: \(f(z)=f(r, \theta ) = u(r, \theta ) + i v(r, \theta )\). If we take the limit \(\Delta z = [(r+\Delta r) e^{i (\theta + \Delta \theta )} - r e^{i \theta }] \rightarrow 0\) ‘radially’, i.e. \(\Delta \theta = 0\) first and then \(\Delta r \rightarrow 0\), by definition of the derivative we obtain

Notes

  1. 1.

    In fact, this is the Legendre equation, see (4.6) on page 189.

  2. 2.

    For the power function \(t^{\nu }\), the Laplace transform is given by

    $$\begin{aligned} \int \limits _0^{\infty } e^{-st} t^{\nu } dt = \frac{\Gamma (\nu +1)}{s^{\nu +1}}, \qquad \; \nu > -1 \, , \end{aligned}$$

    which follows from definition (2.1) of the Gamma function.
