How to find the harmonic conjugate of $v(x,y)=log((x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2)$?

So I have found out $$frac{partial v}{partial x} = frac{2x-2}{(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2}, frac{partial v}{partial y} = frac{2y-4}{(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2}.$$



Using the Cauchy Riemann equations, I find:
$$frac{partial u}{partial x} = frac{2y-4}{(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2}, frac{partial u}{partial y} = frac{2-2x}{(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2}.$$



Then I integrate either one of $partial u/partial x$ or $partial u/partial y$ to then differentiate with respect to the other variable I just integrated with. However, when I integrate $partial u/partial x$ or $partial u/partial y$, I get two different functions: $2arctanfrac{(x-1)}{(y-2)} + g(y)$ and $-2arctanfrac{(y-2)}{(x-1)} + g(x)$, respectively.



What am I doing wrong? Can you have multiple harmonic conjuguates?

          You will not be able to find an harmonic conjugate of $v$ since there is none. That is, there is no function $ucolonmathbb{C}setminus{1+2i}longrightarrowmathbb C$ which is an harmonic conjugate of $v$. You will find a proof here.

            No. The fact that $v$ is harmonic only assures that a harmonic conjugate exists localy. But your function is a standard example of function without a global harmonic conjugate.

            For each $(x,y)in D_v$ there is an open ball $B$ centered at that point such that $v|_B$ has a harmonic conjugate; that's the meaning of the fact that locally $v$ has a harmonic conjugate. However, there is no harmonic conjugate of $v$ whose domain is $D_v$; that's what it means that there is no harmonic conjugate globally.

            Actually, $1+2i$ is a bad choice, since $1+2i$ is the only point outside the domain of $v$. There is no global harmonic conjugate of $v$, but there is one near every point of its domain.

          Ellipse (mathématiques)

          Image
          Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

          Quarter-circle Tiles

          Image
          up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
