Exact Differential Equations and Harmonic Functions
In this work, we investigate some connections between exact differential equations and harmonic functions and in particular, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for which exact equations admit harmonic solutions. As an application, we consider the orthogonal trajectories of harmonic functions, and among other results we obtain that the Cauchy-Riemann equations and the non-vanishing of the first partial derivatives are sufficient for any two curves to be orthogonal trajectories of each other. All curves throughout the work are restricted to the xy-plane.
