Pseudoanalytic function

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, pseudoanalytic functions are functions introduced by Lipman Bers (1950, 1951, 1953, 1956) that generalize analytic functions and satisfy a weakened form of the Cauchy–Riemann equations.

Definitions[]

Let and let be a real-valued function defined in a bounded domain . If and and are Hölder continuous, then is admissible in . Further, given a Riemann surface , if is admissible for some neighborhood at each point of , is admissible on .

The complex-valued function is pseudoanalytic with respect to an admissible at the point if all partial derivatives of and exist and satisfy the following conditions:

If is pseudoanalytic at every point in some domain, then it is pseudoanalytic in that domain.[1]

Similarities to analytic functions[]

  • If is not the constant , then the zeroes of are all isolated.
  • Therefore, any analytic continuation of is unique.[2]

Examples[]

  • Complex constants are pseudoanalytic.
  • Any linear combination with real coefficients of pseudoanalytic functions is pseudoanalytic.[1]
