Recovering an analytic derivative from the boundary real part

ID: recovering-an-analytic-derivative-from-the-boundary-real-part

For a holomorphic function on a neighbourhood of a closed disc, parametrize the Cauchy derivative formula on its boundary. The conjugate Cauchy integral theorem gives . Replacing in the derivative integral by therefore gives the displayed identity. The boundary real part determines every nonconstant analytic coefficient; only an imaginary additive constant is lost.
