Put . In the right half-plane,The last two cancel, so . The possible singular point lies outside the open domain .
For , a level curve of value has . These are rays from the origin, restricted to the right half-plane. For positive , the values increase with angle from on the lower boundary to on the upper boundary. If , the function is identically zero. The left panel of the figure in (c) shows these ray-shaped level curves.
