DBAR problem

The DBAR problem is the problem of solving the differential equation

{\bar {\partial }}f(z,{\bar {z}})=g(z)

for the function $f(z,{\bar {z}})$ , where $g(z)$ is assumed to be known and $z=x+iy$ is a complex number in a domain $R\subseteq \mathbb {C}$ . The operator ${\bar {\partial }}$ is called the DBAR operator

{\bar {\partial }}={\frac {1}{2}}\left({\frac {\partial }{\partial x}}+i{\frac {\partial }{\partial y}}\right)

The DBAR operator is nothing other than the complex conjugate of the operator

\partial ={\frac {\partial }{\partial z}}={\frac {1}{2}}\left({\frac {\partial }{\partial x}}-i{\frac {\partial }{\partial y}}\right)

denoting the usual differentiation in the complex $z$ -plane.

The DBAR problem is of key importance in the theory of integrable systems^[1] and generalizes the Riemann–Hilbert problem.
