Complex analysis derivatives
$begingroup$
If a function $f(x,y)=u(x,y)+icdot v(x,y)$ is $mathbb{C}$-differentiable,how can I prove that
for $u$ and $v$ the partial derivatives exist?
I have figured out if f is continuously differentiable then the derivative value must be $f_x$,but $f_x$ exists only when $u_x,v_x$ exist.So how can I ensure their existence?

Let $z_0inmathbb C$. Asserting that $f$ is differentiable at $z_0$ means that the lime$$lim_{hto0}frac{f(z_0+h)-f(z_0)}h$$ exists. In particular, the limit$$lim_{hto0, hinmathbb{R}}frac{u(z_0+h)+iv(z_0+h)-u(z_0)-if(z_0)}h$$exists, which is the same thing as asserting that both limits$$lim_{hto0, hinmathbb{R}}frac{u(z_0+h)-u(z_0)}htext{ and }lim_{hto0, hinmathbb{R}}frac{v(z_0+h)-v(z_0)}h$$exist. But this means that $u_x$ and $v_x$ exist at $z_0$.
A similar argument shows that $u_y$ and $v_y$ exist at $z_0$.

Unpack the definition; the function is $mathbb{C}$-differentiable if $lim_{zto z_0} frac{f(z)-f(z_0)}{z-z_0} = f'(z_0)$ exists.
$$lim_{zto z_0} frac{f(z)-f(z_0)}{z-z_0} - f'(z_0) = 0$$
$$lim_{zto z_0} frac1{z-z_0}left(f(z)-f(z_0) - f'(z_0)(z-z_0)right) = 0$$
$$lim_{zto z_0} frac1{|z-z_0|}left|f(z)-f(z_0) - f'(z_0)(z-z_0)right| = 0$$
$$lim_{(x,y)to (x_0,y_0)}frac1{|(x,y)-(x_0,y_0)|}left|u(x,y)+iv(x,y)-u(x_0,y_0)-iv(x_0,y_0) - L_{f'(z_0)}(x-x_0,y-y_0)right| = 0$$
There $L_{zeta}$ is the linear map from $mathbb{R}^2$ to $mathbb{C}$ that acts the same as multiplication by $zeta$. Split this into real and imaginary parts; we get
$$lim_{(x,y)to (x_0,y_0)}frac1{|(x,y)-(x_0,y_0)|}left|u(x,y)-u(x_0,y_0)- L(x-x_0,y-y_0)right| = 0$$
for some linear transformation $L$, and similarly for the imaginary part. That's the definition of differentiability for a function from $mathbb{R}^2$ to $mathbb{R}$; we have proved, straight from the definition, that if a function is $mathbb{C}$-differentiable, its real and imaginary parts are $mathbb{R}$-differentiable. A $mathbb{R}$-differentiable function has partial derivatives, and we're done.
Next, of course, is verifying the relation between those partial derivatives (the Cauchy-Riemann equations). Related, the theorem to remember from this: a function is $mathbb{C}$-differentiable at a point if and only if it's $mathbb{R}$-differentiable at that point and its partial derivatives there satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
Yes, we could have gotten just the partial derivatives more easily. The full power of differentiability at that point is worth a little extra effort.

Let $z_0inmathbb C$. Asserting that $f$ is differentiable at $z_0$ means that the lime$$lim_{hto0}frac{f(z_0+h)-f(z_0)}h$$ exists. In particular, the limit$$lim_{hto0, hinmathbb{R}}frac{u(z_0+h)+iv(z_0+h)-u(z_0)-if(z_0)}h$$exists, which is the same thing as asserting that both limits$$lim_{hto0, hinmathbb{R}}frac{u(z_0+h)-u(z_0)}htext{ and }lim_{hto0, hinmathbb{R}}frac{v(z_0+h)-v(z_0)}h$$exist. But this means that $u_x$ and $v_x$ exist at $z_0$.
A similar argument shows that $u_y$ and $v_y$ exist at $z_0$.
