Theorem (Milne-Thomson Method for constructing a harmonic conjugate.)  

Formula (ii)  Given the harmonic function  [Graphics:Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_6.gif]  then construct   

                     [Graphics:Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_7.gif].  

Show that under the proper conditions,  [Graphics:Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_8.gif]  is a harmonic conjugate of  [Graphics:Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_9.gif],  and

                    [Graphics:Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_10.gif]   is an analytic function.  

Proof of (ii).

To prove part (ii) consider the analytic function  [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_27.gif].  

Then use the construction in (i) applied to   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_28.gif].  

                   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_29.gif],
                   
                   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_30.gif],
                   
                   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_31.gif],
                   
                   [Graphics:../Images/HarmonicFunctionMod.2_gr_32.gif].
