7.4 Poisson Integral Formulas<br />

The success of7.4 using a conformal mapping to solve a boundary-value problem associated<br />

with Laplace’s equation often depends on the abilityto solve a related boundary-value<br />

problem in a simple domain such as the upper half-plane y > 0 or the open unit disk<br />

|z| < 1. In this section we present two important integral formulas for solving a Dirichlet<br />

problem in these domains.<br />

Formula for the Upper Half-Plane We begin byinvestigating<br />

the following Dirichlet problem:<br />

Solve:<br />
