If $f$ is $mathbb R^2$-differentiable and the limit $limlimits_{h to 0} Releft(frac{f(z+h)-f(z)}{h}right)$...












1














Assume $f$ is defined on some domain $Dsubsetmathbb C$, differentiable on $D$ as a function of two real variables, and that, for all $zin D$, the limit $limlimits_{h to 0} Releft(frac{f(z+h)-f(z)}{h}right)$ exists and is finite. Does this imply that $f$ is holomorphic on $D$?



This was a task on my exam today, which I didn't manage.

    @MisterRiemann That example depends on if $hto 0$ has $h$ on the real line or complex. If $h$ is complex, that would reduce to $\lim_{hto . 0}frac{overline h}{h}=c_z,$ but this limit doesn't converge.

Let us fix some $z$ in $D$ and use the notations $$h=r+isqquad f_x(z)=a+ibqquad f_y(z)=c+id$$ for some real numbers $r$, $s$, $a$, $b$, $c$ and $d$. Then the $mathbb R^2$-differentiability of the function $f$ at $z$ reads, in the limit $hto0$ or, equivalently, in the limit $(r,s)to(0,0)$, $$f(z+h)-f(z)=(a+ib)r+(c+id)s+o(|h|)$$
that is,
$$frac{f(z+h)-f(z)}h=frac{(f(z+h)-f(z))bar h}{|h|^2}=frac{((a+ib)r+(c+id)s)(r-is)}{r^2+s^2}+o(1)$$
Thus, the hypothesis is exactly the existence of the limit
$$lim_{(r,s)to(0,0)}frac{ar^2+(b+c)rs+ds^2}{r^2+s^2}$$ Considering the limits of this ratio when $rto0$ along the lines $s=rt$, for each $t$ fixed, one sees that $$frac{a+(b+c)t+dt^2}{1+t^2}$$ should be independent of $t$. In particular, the cases $t=0$ and $ttoinfty$ yield the condition $$a=d$$ and the cases $t=pm1$ yield the condition $$b+c=0$$ Since these are Cauchy-Riemann equations for $f$ at $z$, the proof is complete.

Let us fix some $z$ in $D$ and use the notations $$h=r+isqquad f_x(z)=a+ibqquad f_y(z)=c+id$$ for some real numbers $r$, $s$, $a$, $b$, $c$ and $d$. Then the $mathbb R^2$-differentiability of the function $f$ at $z$ reads, in the limit $hto0$ or, equivalently, in the limit $(r,s)to(0,0)$, $$f(z+h)-f(z)=(a+ib)r+(c+id)s+o(|h|)$$
that is,
$$frac{f(z+h)-f(z)}h=frac{(f(z+h)-f(z))bar h}{|h|^2}=frac{((a+ib)r+(c+id)s)(r-is)}{r^2+s^2}+o(1)$$
Thus, the hypothesis is exactly the existence of the limit
$$lim_{(r,s)to(0,0)}frac{ar^2+(b+c)rs+ds^2}{r^2+s^2}$$ Considering the limits of this ratio when $rto0$ along the lines $s=rt$, for each $t$ fixed, one sees that $$frac{a+(b+c)t+dt^2}{1+t^2}$$ should be independent of $t$. In particular, the cases $t=0$ and $ttoinfty$ yield the condition $$a=d$$ and the cases $t=pm1$ yield the condition $$b+c=0$$ Since these are Cauchy-Riemann equations for $f$ at $z$, the proof is complete.
