Complex force fields and complex orbits
For the preassigned family of trajectories given by the equation \(f(x,y)= c\), where \(x= x_1+ ix_2\), \(y= y_1+ iy_2\) are complex variables and \(f= f_1+ if_2\), the authors construct a system of complex differential equations with real time \(\dot x= g(x,y)f_y\), \(\dot y= -g(x,y)f_x\), that are rewritten in four real differential equations \[ \dot x_1= g_1 f_{1,y_1}- g_2 f_{2,y_1},\qquad \dot y_1= -(g_1 f_{1,x_1}- g_2 f_{2,x_1}), \] \[ \dot x_2= g_2 f_{1,y_1}+ g_1 f_{2,y_1},\qquad \dot y_2= -(g_2 f_{1,x_1}+ g_1 f_{2,x_1}), \] where \(g= g_1+ ig_2\) is a function and where \(x_1\) or \(y_1\) is used as a subscript following the comma, denotes partial derivatives of the real functions \(f_i(x_1, x_2, y_1,y_2)\), \(i= 1,2\). These equations are solved for different choice of the functions \(f\) and \(g\), for example for \(f(x,y)= x^2+ y^2\) and \(g(x,y)= 1+ i\). From the mathematical point of view, the paper has college level.
