An analytic function f(z) of complex variable z=x+iy may be written as f(z)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y). Then, u(x,y) and v(x,y) must satisfy

  • A∂u/∂x=∂v/∂y and ∂u/∂y=∂v/∂x
  • ∂u/∂x=∂v/∂y and ∂u/∂y=−∂v/∂x
  • C∂u/∂x=−∂v/∂y and ∂u/∂y=∂v/∂x
  • D∂u/∂x=−∂v/∂y and ∂u/∂y=−∂v/∂x

Explanation

These are exactly the Cauchy-Riemann equations, the necessary condition for f(z)=u+iv to be analytic: u_x=v_y and u_y=−v_x.
