I am checking the holomorphicity for the complex function
f(r,phi)=x(r,phi)+y(r,phi)*i on the disk D={z:|z|<r+eps}. x and y are given as:

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

m,n\in N.

Checking the Polar form of the Cauchy-Riemann equations for these, I find:

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

while,

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

and these don't look equal. Does this mean that f(r,phi) is not holomorphic on
the disk D?

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Yes. You're using the "polar form of the C-R equations". That's
the form they take in standard polar coordinates. But your
r and phi are _not_ standard polar coordinates!

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".

If I understand what you are saying, if I set:

theta=m*phi
R=r*sin(n/m*theta)

then, under this transformation,

x=R*cos(theta)
y=R*sin(theta)

I will find that the C-R equations (for R and theta) are satisfied? Right?

Thanks,

I looked at your question yesterday. One special case that is easier
is m = 0;

then
x(r, phi) = r*sin(n*phi),
y(r, phi) = 0 .

So f(r,phi) = r*sin(n*phi) + 0*i . I'm not sure what phi is, though.

No. If R=r*sin(n/m*theta) then R and theta are not independent.
