    Solving Dirichlet Problem For A Circle and A Half Plane-The Poisson Integral Formula

    Uploaded by

    Omnia Nawwar
    This document discusses solving Dirichlet problems using the Poisson integral formula. The Poisson integral formula can be used to find the value of a harmonic function inside a domain, like a circle or half-plane, given its values on the boundary. Specifically, it presents the Poisson integral formula for the Dirichlet problem on a circle and a half-plane. It also gives an example of using the formula to find a harmonic function inside the unit circle with specified boundary values.

    Solving Dirichlet problem for a

    circle and a half plane-The


    Poisson integral formula

    By :Davoud Ebrahimi
    Harmonic functions
    „ Functions satisfying Laplace’s equation
    in a domain are said to be harmonic in
    that domain.

    „ If is analytic in a
    domain then and are
    harmonic in that domain.
    Dirichlet’s problem
    „ Determination of a
    function which satisfies
    Laplace’s equation (ie is
    harmonic) in a domain
    and takes prescribed
    values on its boundary.

    „ Note: the Domain D can be upper half


    plane with the x axis as the boundary C.

    - “z” arbitrary point inside the circle.

    The Poisson integral formula gives the value of the harmonic


    function U(r,θ) everywhere inside a circle of radius R, provided we
    know the values U(R, φ) on the circumference of the circle.
    Example
    Find a function harmonic inside the unit circle |z|=1 and
    taking the prescribed values given by 1 0< θ < π
    F(θ)=
    0 π< θ < 2π

    The Poisson integral formula gives the value of the harmonic


    function φ(x,y) everywhere in the Upper Half Plane , provided we
    know the values φ (u, 0) over the entire real axis.
    Example
    Solve the following
    boundary value problem:

    Summary
    „ Poisson integral formula- analytic
    continuation: The function on the boundary is
    specified and we are seeking for the function
    in the domain_ Any Physical problem
    (Boundary Value Problems)
    „ These problems can be solved by conformal
    mapping technique.
    „ If normal derivative of the function takes
    prescribed values on the boundary it’s called
    Newmann’s problem.
