  1. A harmonic function is analytic if it satisfies the Laplace equation. If u(x, y) = 2x² – 2y² + 4xy is a harmonic function, t hen its conjugate harmonic function v (x, y) is
    1. 4y² – 4xy + constant
    2. 4xy – 2x² + 2y² + constant
    3. 2x² – 2y² + xy + constant
    4. – 4xy + 2y² – 2x² + constant
Correct Option: B

u(x, y) = 2x² – 2y² + 4xy
As harmonic function is analytic therefore,
ux = Vy
uy = – Vx
ux = 4x + 4y

δv
Vy = 4x + 4y
δy

V = 4xy + 2y² + f(x)
Now
δv
Vy + f'(x) = 4y - 4x
δy

f'(x) = – 4x
f(x) = – 2x²2 + C
So, conjugate harmonic function v(x, y) is,
V = 2y² – 2x² + 4xy + C
