This article defines a property that can be evaluated for a function on a (particular kind of) set, and a point in that set. A function satisfying the property at every point, it is termed a ?

Definition

Suppose U is an open subset of C and f:UC is a function. Let z0U be a point. We say that f satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann differential equations at z0 if the following is true:

  • Both the real and the imaginary part of f have well-defined partial derivatives in the real and imaginary direction, at the point z0
  • The partial derivatives satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann differential equations. If we denote by u,v the real and imaginary parts of f, the Cauchy-Riemann differential equations state that:
ux=vy,uy=vx

In subscript notation, they read more compactly as:

ux=vy,uy=vx
