The continuously differentiable function is a particular solution, sinceIf is any solution, set . Then is continuously differentiable and its Wirtinger derivative vanishes. By the preceding part and the sufficient Cauchy-Riemann equations criterion, is a holomorphic function on all of , hence an entire function.
Conversely, every entire function has vanishing Wirtinger derivative, so addition of preserves the prescribed derivative. Therefore all solutions areThis is an inhomogeneous Wirtinger equation with holomorphic forcing: a particular solution plus an arbitrary element of the homogeneous solution space.
