Complex analytic representation of biharmonic functions

ID: complex-analytic-representation-of-biharmonic-functions

If are holomorphic functions, both real and imaginary parts of solve the biharmonic equation. In Wirtinger derivatives, , so is harmonic and its next Laplacian is zero. This construction gives local representations of planar solutions of the biharmonic equation; it is useful for the biharmonic stream function for planar Stokes flow.
