D-holomorphic Functions
The function f is called D-holomorphic when
- 0 = (∂/∂x − j ∂/∂y) ( u + j v)
- = ux − j2 vy + j (vx − uy ).
The consequent partial differential equations are called "Scheffers' conditions" by Isaak Yaglom who credits Georg Scheffers' work of 1893. See Duren's text for the use of similar differential operators to establish the relation of harmonic function theory to analytic functions on the ordinary complex plane C .It is apparent that the components u and v of a D-holomorphic function f satisfy the wave equation, associated with D'Alembert, whereas components of C-holomorphic functions satisfy Laplace's equation.

Famous quotes containing the word functions:
“In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
