Let me try once more:

set:

x=r*cos(A)

then,

A=arccos(sin(n*phi)*cos(m*phi))

and then

r*sin(A)=sin(arccos(sin(n*phi)*cos(m*phi)))
=r*sqrt(1-sin(n*phi)^2*cos(m*phi)^2)
=r*sqrt(1-(x/r)^2)
=sqrt(r^2-x^2)
=y

and then,

dx/dr=sin(n*phi)*cos(m*phi)

and,

1/r*dy/dA=1/r*(dy/dphi)*(dphi/dA)
=sin(n*phi)*cos(m*phi)

and they agree.

Hopefully that's what you meant?

One question if I may: Can you enlighten us on how did you see that this curve
was holomorphic to begin, with without doing the calculations?

I'm already totally lost. Why does x=r*cos(A)
imply A=arccos(sin(n*phi)*cos(m*phi)) ?
(It can't, because you haven't said anything
about what phi is.)

What I meant was exactly what I said, no more and no less.

If x = r cos(phi) and y = r sin(phi) then you should find that
x + iy _does_ satisfy the "polar form of the C-R equations".

x + iy is what's typiically known as "z", and dz/dz exists.

Yes, that's what you said, except that in this case I don't see how it applies,
since x and y are _not_ given by these equations. x and y are given by the
equations I give in my first post (also below). The curve in "standard" Polar
coordinates is descibed by:

r=cos(k*phi), with k=m/n\in Q

and I cannot see what your "if x = r cos(phi)..." has to do with the above.

I assume you mean x+yi, with:

x = r*cos(n*phi)*sin(m*phi)

and

y = r*cos(n*phi)*cos(m*phi)

Can you then show us what's "dz/dz"?

Thanks,

Make the above:

x = r*sin(n*phi)*cos(m*phi), and
y = r*sin(n*phi)*cos(m*phi)

I inadvertently changed sines and cosines, but in the end it doesn't matter. The
changed x and y give a similar curve.

You were applying the C-R equations "in polar form" in a situation
where they're simply not applicable, since your coordinates are
not polar coordinates. I was trying to clarify in which situation
those equations _would_ imply the function was holomorphic.

When I say "if x = r cos(phi)"if x = r cos(phi)" why
would you assume that I meant x = r*cos(n*phi)*sin(m*phi)?
Especially after I clarified that what I meant was what
I wrote, not what you assume I meant?

As of about the second line of your last post I said
I didn't follow what you meant since you hadn't
specified the relation between something and
something else. Instead of explaining you
"snipped for brevity".

Good luck.
